Seasoning

Your DuraCast cast iron cookware is Double Pre-Seasoned and does not need to be seasoned before use. Seasoning creates a natural non-stick surface and helps prevent rusting. Here's how to re-season your cookware if needed:

  3. If needed, use a small amount of mild dish soap and water to clean the cookware.
  4. Rinse the cookware thoroughly and dry it completely.
  5. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the cookware to maintain its seasoning.
