For Best Performance:

• Season your cast iron frequently, as this builds its non-stick finish over time.
• Always wash your cast iron by hand. Never put your cast iron in the dishwasher.
• After cleaning, use a towel to dry your cast iron, then finish drying it on the stovetop or in the oven.
• Do not air dry your cast iron, and never store it while wet, as rust may develop.

Instructions

Before First Use:

• Your cast iron arrives pre-seasoned and ready to use, but like any new cookware, we recommend washing it with warm water and towel drying it before first use.
• After cleaning, we also recommend an at-home seasoning to kick-start the formation of a non-stick finish on the cooking surface.

Seasoning:

• Start by placing a skillet on your stovetop over medium-low heat. Do not use a non-stick skillet, as this process may damage its coating.
• Add a shallow pool of cooking oil once the pan is hot.
• Use a clean kitchen towel to wipe down all surfaces with cooking oil until evenly covered with a thin layer. Avoid applying oil to the wood handle.
• Stand the Grill Press in the oiled skillet, and keep it there for 25 minutes.
• After the Grill Press has cooled down, use a paper towel to wipe away any excess oil.
• The surfaces of your cast iron will absorb the oil and help create a non-stick finish while also inhibiting rust.

General Cleaning:

• Always hand wash your cast iron. Allow it to cool after cooking, then wipe out any remaining food with a paper towel. Rinse with warm water and use a natural-fiber brush to clean all surfaces. If needed, add coarse salt or a drop of mild soap and repeat.
• To get rid of stubborn bits of residue, gently scrub the surface with a chain mail scrubber.
• Avoid hard metal cleaning tools, scour pads, or harsh detergents, as these can strip the cast iron of its seasoning.
• We recommend seasoning your cookware after every wash. The more you use and season your cast iron, the better it will perform over time.
• Never put cast iron in the dishwasher. Do not air dry your cast iron, and never store it while wet, as rust may develop.
• Dry it completely on the stovetop or in the oven using low heat to evaporate all remaining moisture.
