GENERAL CLEANING
CLEANING TOUGH STAINS AND BUILDUP
Your Cast Iron cookware is NOT dishwasher-safe�
Hand-washing with a soft towel or sponge in warm,
soapy water is recommended to prolong the cookware’s
original appearance�
Never use steel wool or abrasive cleaning pads, as these may
scrape off the coating� Do not use harsh cleaners�
Always allow the cookware to cool before cleaning� Filling with
cold water before cooling may damage the cookware�
Try soaking the cookware overnight in hot, soapy water� For really
tough stains like barbecue sauce, mix ½ cup of dishwasher detergent
with 2 cups of hot water� Let stand in the cookware overnight then rinse
and wash thoroughly�
For some foods, simmering ½ cup of vinegar and scrubbing with a
non-abrasive sponge will give better cleaning results� Do not use metal
sponges or brushes�
To help clean any discoloration or oil buildup, clean with a solution of
baking soda and warm water using a soft towel or sponge�
