FAQ's on Cast Iron Cookware

Is cast iron cookware good for everyday cooking?

Yes. Cast iron is durable, versatile and free from synthetic non-stick coatings. It offers excellent heat retention and is suitable for everyday cooking such as dosa, roti, frying, roasting, curries and more.

What does pre-seasoned cast iron mean?

Pre-seasoned cast iron has been treated with cooking oil and heated to develop an initial protective seasoned layer. It is ready to start using, although regular use and occasional re-seasoning help improve and maintain the cooking surface.

How should I clean cast iron cookware?

Wash with warm water and a scrubber or brush. Mild dish soap can be used when necessary. Avoid soaking the cookware for long periods. After washing, dry it completely and apply a very thin layer of cooking oil before storing.

Is cast iron cookware dishwasher safe?

No. Cast iron should be hand-washed and dried immediately. Dishwasher cleaning can damage the seasoning and prolonged exposure to moisture may cause rust.

Why does my new cast iron cookware leave black residue?

Some dark residue may occasionally appear on new or recently seasoned cast iron. Clean the cookware thoroughly, dry it, lightly oil the surface and continue using it. Regular cooking and proper seasoning generally improve the surface over time.

How can I prevent cast iron cookware from rusting?

Never leave cast iron wet or soak it for extended periods. After every wash, dry it thoroughly, preferably with gentle heat, and apply a very thin layer of cooking oil before storing it in a dry place.

Is cast iron naturally non-stick?

Cast iron does not contain a synthetic non-stick coating. Instead, repeated seasoning and cooking create a naturally developed, low-stick surface. With proper seasoning, preheating and cooking technique, the surface improves with regular use.

Can cast iron cookware be used on induction and gas stoves?

Yes. Cast iron cookware is generally suitable for gas, induction, electric and ceramic cooktops. Heat it gradually on low to medium heat for best results. On glass or ceramic surfaces, lift the cookware instead of dragging it to avoid scratches.
