Cast Iron Recipes
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We tested over a dozen different oils and fats for best performance out of the box. Flaxseed oil, when done correctly, has always tested as the best oil for base layers. This due to several factors:
- Polymerization: Flaxseed oil is a drying oil, which means it undergoes polymerization more readily than non-drying oils like grapeseed oil, another popular seasoning oil. This property allows it to form a durable, hard, and non-stick seasoning layer on cast iron.
- Smoke point: Flaxseed oil has a lower smoke point (around 225°F or 107°C). While this may be a disadvantage for cooking, it's actually beneficial for the seasoning process. The lower smoke point allows the oil to polymerize at lower temperatures, creating a strong bond with the cast iron surface.
- Fat composition: Flaxseed oil is high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, which is relatively stable compared to the polyunsaturated fats found in grapeseed oil and other popular seasoning oils. This stability can result in a more durable and long-lasting seasoning on your cast iron cookware.
- Food safety: Flaxseed oil, when properly polymerized, forms a stable and safe surface for cooking. The polymerized layer reduces the risk of oxidation and the formation of harmful free radicals during cooking, ensuring a healthier cooking experience.
Our seasoned cast iron is seasoned at high temperatures and ready to cook. Here’s what we suggest:
- Hand wash and dry completely before first use.
- It is normal for food to stick to the surface of cast iron cookware during the first few uses. To prevent this, we suggest using a small amount of cooking oil or fat until the seasoning becomes strong and settled. You can use any edible fat, including vegetable oil, nut oil, lard, or butter.
- When cooking with cast iron, it is important to use the appropriate heat to avoid sticking. Cast iron retains heat very well, so we recommend using low to medium-low heat for most foods. Delicate foods like proteins are best cooked on low heat.
- To protect the seasoning, we also recommend avoiding acidic foods such as tomatoes, vinegar, and citrus fruits until the seasoning has had a chance to build up.
- If you want to give your cast iron cookware an extra layer of seasoning, some people choose to season it once or more before using it. This is not necessary if you take good care of your cookware, but it can help to create a thicker layer of seasoning faster. Ultimately, the decision is up to you.
While it may be exciting to start using your new cookware,
it is important to avoid common mistakes that can damage the seasoning and cause issues with your cooking.
To prevent these mistakes, we recommend:
- If you do make mistakes and cause rust or food to stick to the pan, don't worry – your cast iron cookware is forgiving and can be restored with proper care and maintenance. To learn more about re-seasoning your cookware, you can refer to the instructions provided with your packaging or on this website.
- Remember, as long as your cast iron cookware is not broken, it can always be salvaged and restored to its original condition.
- With proper care and attention, your cast iron cookware will provide you with many decades of reliable use.
