Burning in, how do you do that?

Burning / seasoning

The first step after purchasing your cast iron pan is seasoning. We can't emphasize this enough. Seasoning also varies by conditioner and source. Not all ovens are the same, and barbecues are different. The seasoning instructions below are for use with our own brand. conditioner.

Step 1:
Clean the Dutch Oven with hot water and then dry thoroughly.

Step 2:
Preheat a closed barbecue or oven to 180°C (356°F). Place the product in the oven for about 15 minutes, allowing the cast iron to become thoroughly hot. The heat opens the pores of the cast iron, allowing moisture to evaporate. This is crucial, as moisture in cast iron can cause rust. **

Step 3:
Once the product is hot, use a cotton cloth to apply a thin layer of conditioner to the entire surface. (This includes the lid! The knobs on our BBQ pans are made of Bakelite, so you don't need to season them.)

Step 4:
Once the product is well coated, heat it to 200°C. Once the product stops smoking, let it cool to room temperature.

Repeat steps 2 through 4 at least three times. The more often you repeat the steps, the better the cast iron will look. After seasoning, the product is ready for use.
