Use & Care: While the skillet comes pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. After cooking, we recommend cleaning with a stiff nylon brush and hot water. Using soap or the dishwasher is not recommended, and harsh detergents should never be used. Towel dry immediately cleaning and apply a light coating of oil to utensil while it is still warm.Hand wash. Dry immediately—even before first use.Rub with a light coat of vegetable oil after every wash.How much oil? Enough to restore the sheen, without being “sticky”.Why? To keep the iron “seasoned” and protected from moisture.If no soap is too scary, wash with mild soapy water and dry and oil immediately. However, consider that cookware is 400ºF in 4 minutes on medium heat and is sterile at 212º F, so soap isn’t always necessary.Dishwashers, strong detergents and metal scouring pads are not recommended, as they remove seasoning.
