Care, Maintenance & Cleaning Guide

First-Use Recommendations: For the first few uses, apply a slightly more generous layer of cooking oil than usual to help lock in and fortify the base seasoning layer (cooking bacon is a classic favorite). Avoid preparing highly acidic foods (like tomatoes or citrus) until the waxy protective patina has darkened and matured.
Cleaning Rules: Wash exclusively by hand immediately after use using warm water. Never soak the skillet, leave it sitting wet in the sink, or place it in a dishwasher, as exposed iron will rust rapidly.
Scrape, Dry & Oil: Remove stubborn food residue with a non-scratch scraper or chainmail scrubber. After washing, dry thoroughly with a towel, buff a light coating of cooking oil across the entire surface, and warm briefly on the hob to completely evaporate any remaining moisture before storage.
