Authentic Cast Iron Care & Maintenance Guide:

Understanding Cosmetic Variations: New pans may occasionally display a small spot that resembles rust. Don't panic, this is simply a minor area where the seasoning oil hasn't fully charred, and it will naturally disappear and blend in with regular use and cooking.
Addressing Surface Rust: If any true surface rust develops from ambient moisture or accidental soaking, simply scour the affected area with fine steel wool, rinse thoroughly, dry immediately with a clean towel, and rub with a light layer of fresh vegetable oil.
The Golden Rule of Cast Iron: To protect your heirloom skillet, never place it in the dishwasher, never leave it to soak in the sink, and always dry it immediately after washing before applying a light protective coating of oil.
