Seasoning Oil Blend Maintenance Guide

Daily Usage:

  1. Wash cast iron as you normally would - soap is okay (blog post coming) Be sure to remove all food.
  2. Completely dry cookware surfaces with towel/napkin or by placing on stove and applying heat.
  3. Place cookware on stove and heat on medium/medium-high until surfaces are hot, but not smoking.
    • Warm/hot cast iron will transfer the oils from the napkin/paper towel/cotton cloth to the surface of the cast iron.
  4. Apply a very light amount of the seasoning blend to all surfaces with a cloth or towel. You do not want to see any “pooling” of oils. Less is More.
    • If you do see pooling of oil occur, it is highly recommended to wipe this out with a cloth/napkin. Less is more in seasoning cookware.
    • Pooling often leads to a "sticky" feeling surface, minor stickiness will not significantly affect the seasoning and over time it will level out.
    • If cast iron is very hot, oils may smoke upon applying - this is okay.
  5. Continue heating just until smoke begins to appear from the cookware.
  6. Remove cookware from the heat source and let cool until next use.

 

Oven Seasoning Guide:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 425F
  2. Wash cast iron as you normally would. Be sure to remove all food and loose pieces
  3. Completely dry cookware surfaces with towel/napkin or by leaving in the oven for 10 minutes.
  4. Using our Seasoning Oil Blend, apply a light coat to all surfaces of the cookware with a cloth or paper towel. Less is More
    • If you do see pooling of oil occur, it is highly recommended to wipe this out with a cloth/napkin. Less is more with seasoning cookware.
    • Pooling often leads to a "sticky" feeling surface, minor stickiness will not significantly affect the seasoning and over time it will level out.
    • If cast iron is very hot, oils may smoke upon applying - this is okay.
  5. Place cookware back inside the oven face down and set time for 1 hour
  6. After 1 hour Inspect cookware. You should not see any pooling and the surface should be a matte color. 
    • If pooling has occurred and the seasoning looks "rough" or "textured" or "wet", place back in over for 30 minutes
    • Repeat this step until cast iron is no longer "glossy"
  7. Turn off oven and let cookware naturally cool.
