How to prepare cast iron cookware for use

To prepare cast iron cookware for use, you need to follow several steps. As a result, you’ll get a reliable helper for many years to come. Cast iron is a porous material, so to prevent food from sticking and ensure comfortable cooking, you need to create a protective layer that will improve with each use. Recommendation: First, turn on the exhaust fan or open a window.

1. Washing: Start by thoroughly washing the item.

2. Drying: Then dry the cookware over heat and add some salt.

3. Stirring: Stir the salt until it turns dark. Continue this process for about 10 minutes. Replace with fresh salt if necessary.

4. Removing the salt: After this, dispose of the salt – remember it’s hot! Then rinse the cookware with hot water, as cast iron doesn’t tolerate sudden temperature changes.

The next stage involves applying a thin layer of oil and heating the cookware in the oven at maximum temperature or over open flame. The thin oil layer will transform into a film that will serve as a non-stick coating. Repeat this procedure several times, ensuring the cookware surface isn’t sticky. If it’s still sticky, heat it a bit more before applying the next layer.

Now your cookware is ready to use!
