Cast iron can rust so keep it out of the dishwasher, do not soak overnight, or air dry. Use warm water and scrape off any stuck food with a flat utensil. You can also lightly polish the cooking surface with a stainless steel chainmail scrubber for a smooth patina. Wipe dry immediately after cleaning, and apply a new layer of oil to protect from rust. This heavyweight skillet is proudly designed in the USA and pre-seasoned with our proprietary oil blend. Our skillets are cast from the finest virgin ore and built to last generations.
