Care & Seasoning

Carbon steel needs a little care, but that care is what makes it perform better over time.

• Season before first use, unless pre-seasoned
• Cook with oil or fat to build seasoning
• Avoid soaking the pan
• Do not put in the dishwasher
• Dry completely after washing
• Apply a thin layer of oil after cleaning
• Avoid acidic foods until seasoning is well developed
• Do not store wet
• If rust appears, scrub, dry, oil, and re-season
