💪 Why Cast Iron?

Cast iron has been around for centuries — and for good reason. It’s naturally non-stick (with seasoning), chemical-free, and literally lasts generations.

Here’s why people are loving it:

• Boosts Iron Intake: Yes, cooking in cast iron actually enriches your food with iron — naturally.

• Toxin-Free Cooking: Say goodbye to mystery coatings and synthetic layers.

• Durability That’s Unreal: It gets better with every use — not worse.

🔥 First-Time Use: Don’t Be Intimidated

Before your first cook, here’s what to do:

1. Wash it once with warm water (mild soap!).

2. Dry it immediately with a cloth or paper towel.

3. Rub a thin layer of oil all over — yes, outside too.

4. Start with high-fat foods and a little extra oil like eggs, pancakes, or stir fry — it helps build your seasoning faster.

That’s it. You’re cooking!

🧼 Cleaning: Easy but Different

Forget the dishwasher. Here’s the proper care:

• Skip the soap — use a chainmail or brush with warm water.

• Dry it immediately — NO air-drying.

• Apply oil after each wash to protect it from rust. (All Around)

Yes, that’s the secret: clean, dry, oil.

🛠️ Seasoning — What, Why & When

Seasoning is just oil baked onto your pan that forms a natural non-stick surface.

When should you re-season?

• Food starts sticking

• You see dull or dry spots

• You scrubbed it too hard
  Don’t stress — a light coat of oil and 5 to 15 minutes on low flame brings it right back. (repeat 2 to 3 times for deeper layer of Seasoning)
