4.1Seasoning Cast Iron Cookware
Seasoning cast iron pans makes them nonstick and increases longevity. When new they are grey in colour, but after usage turn darker. This is normal and to be expected
4.2New Pans
To season from new:
•Preheat oven to 250˚- 300˚
•Coat with lard or bacon grease
Do not use vegetable oil as it leaves surfaces sticky and does not season properly.
•Put pan in the oven for 15 minutes
•Remove and drain off excess grease
•Place back in the oven and bake for a further 2 hours
Repeating this process several times creates a stronger seasoning bond. Use initially for foods high in fat content ie Bacon as grease from these foods will strengthen the seasoning bond.
4.3
Seasoning can wear off. You must clean and
To do this you must:
•Heat to a touch safe temperature top to make it easier to clean
•Clean thoroughly with hot water and a scouring pad
•Dry immediately
•Season as outlined above
4.4Care of Cookware
Avoid scratching the surface once seasoned. You must also:
•Clean pans whilst still warm by rinsing with hot water
Scrape food off where necessary.
•Do not use a scouring pad or detergent
This will break down the seasoning.
•Do not use to store food
Acids in food will break down the seasoning and the food
will taste metallic.
•Store with the lids off
Covered pans will retain moisture and rust.
