Care Guide

HOW TO CLEAN CAST IRON

Ideally, cast iron should be seldom washed. Simply rinse it with water and wipe it clean. Afterward, ensure thorough drying, preferably on the stove, and apply oil all around.

To eliminate lingering odors from beef or fish, sprinkle salt on the cookware and scrub, or wash it with mild soap, dry thoroughly, and then apply oil.

In extreme cases, if necessary, use steel wool and mild soap for a thorough cleaning. Note that using steel wool may remove seasoning, which must be restored. The easiest way to restore seasoning is to deep or shallow fry the cookware 2 to 3 times.

Always remember to apply oil to the cast iron after washing to prevent rusting. Additionally, avoid storing it in damp places.


HOW TO SEASON CAST IRON

Clean the Cookware: Start by washing your cast iron cookware with warm water and mild soap. Use a sponge or brush to scrub off any food residue or rust. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a clean towel.

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350-400°F (175-200°C). Make sure your oven racks are positioned to accommodate the size of your cookware.

Apply Oil: Using a paper towel, apply a thin layer of cooking oil or fat to the entire surface of the cookware, including the exterior and handle. Common oils used for seasoning include vegetable oil, flaxseed oil, canola oil, or shortening. Ensure the oil is evenly distributed and there are no pools or drips.

Bake the Cookware: Place your oiled cast iron cookware upside down on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Placing aluminum foil on the bottom rack can help catch any drips. Bake for 1-2 hours, allowing the oil to polymerize and create a durable, non-stick surface.

Cool and Repeat: Once the initial seasoning is complete, allow the cookware to cool in the oven before handling. If desired, you can repeat the seasoning process multiple times to enhance the non-stick properties and build up the seasoning layer.

Maintain Regularly: After each use, clean your cast iron cookware with hot water. Avoid using soap, as it can strip away the seasoning. Dry the cookware thoroughly and apply a thin layer of oil to maintain the seasoning and prevent rust.

By following these steps, you can effectively season your cast iron cookware, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. With proper care and maintenance, your cast iron cookware can become a cherished kitchen companion for years to come.

Mixed feelings, but It's ok.

I recently purchased this skillet and have mixed feelings about it. Here are my observations:

Surface Texture:
The cooking surface varies in texture; while most areas feel smooth and even, there are patches that are somewhat grainy. This inconsistency can affect cooking performance and cleaning.

Handle Size and Comfort:
The handle is shorter than expected. I would have preferred it to be 1.5 to 2 inches longer and a bit rounder for better grip and comfort while cooking.

Handle Leather Grip:
The leather grip that came with the skillet is ineffective/useless. It doesn’t stick properly and swivels or slips when I try to hold the skillet, making it frustrating to use.

Overall, I feel the design could use some improvements to enhance usability.

Craftsmanship That Shines: A Skillet Worth Every Rupee

Impressed by this locally made 12” cast iron skillet! The finish is smooth, the weight is perfect, and it comes pre-seasoned—though only time will tell how well that holds up. Love that they include a handle cover with the order, a nice touch. KRUCIBLE KITCHEN is doing a great job supporting quality local craftsmanship, and this skillet is proof. Great initiative! If the price doesn’t make you pause, you truly don’t understand the value you’re getting. Highly recommend it.

Caution: Our cast iron cookware is crafted from a single piece of iron ensuring its use from Stovetop to Baking Oven. Please note that the handle can become extremely hot during cooking. We recommend using leather sleeves, mittens, or similar protective products to handle the cookware safely and avoid burns.
