What are the benefits of cooking with cast iron cookware?
Cast Iron cookware provides you with great heat distribution, which is ideal for complete control while cooking. Cast iron pots and skillets are also very easy to clean and provide a non-stick surface to cook on. This cookware is strong and durable, making it capable of outlasting other brands. In addition you will find that our prices will beat any others on the internet.
Do I need to season or "burn" cast iron cookware before I use it?
Most of our cast iron cookware can be purchased pre-seasoned. Pre-seasoned cookware does not require any treatment before use. If you choose to season your cookware yourself directions will be provided for you with your cookware. To effectively season cast iron, heat oil or lard to a very high temperature, typically to its smoking point, and then wipe up any excess oil remaining, once the cookware has cooled.
Is cast iron easy to clean?
Cleaning cast iron can be just as easy as any other cookware. It is best to begin cleaning the cast iron while the pot is still hot. Wash the pot out with hot water and scrape out any remaining food. After thoroughly cleaning your cookware, place it on a stove or in an oven until visible moisture is gone.
Will cast iron cookware rust?
While it is possible for your cookware to rust, simple basic care for the cookware will prevent this. After washing your cookware dry it with a towel and place it on the stove or in the oven until there is no visible moisture remaining. You should also avoid storing your cookware in very humid or moist area. In addition, never use the dishwasher to clean your cast iron products. If you follow these simple steps your cast iron cookware will not rust.
Where are your products manufactured?
While some of our products are produced here in the United States, most of our cookware products are imported from various countries including China and Taiwan.
Why do some of your pots look rusty?
Our early photographs were taken of unseasoned cast iron. Because the cast iron cookware had not yet been seasoned the pots gave off a rust-colored tint when photographed. The pots are not actually rusted, and all of our cookware is new. We are in the process of updating the images with darker pre-seasoned images.
