Care tips for a cast iron pot

A well-maintained cast iron pot can last a lifetime—and even be passed down from generation to generation. Here's our method for preserving its cooking qualities and extending its lifespan.

1. Rinse with cold water

After use, allow the pot to cool, then rinse it with cold water. Avoid thermal shock (ice water on hot cast iron) which could cause micro-cracks.

2. Little or no soap

The cast iron pot has a seasoning that improves itself with each use—a thin protective layer from cooking oils. Soap can damage it, so limit yourself to a light cleaning with a soft brush or wooden spatula to loosen residue.

3. Wipe thoroughly

After rinsing, wipe it immediately with a clean cloth or dry towel. Moisture is the number one enemy of cast iron: it promotes the appearance of rust.

4. Oil protection

Once dry, apply a thin film of vegetable oil (coconut, rapeseed, sunflower, etc.). Spread evenly with a clean cloth.

This step protects the cast iron by creating a moisture barrier, thus preventing corrosion. A light oiling after each outing is also the best way to maintain perfect seasoning and a natural non-stick surface.

With this simple ritual, your cast iron pot will stay ready for all your culinary adventures: from steaming soups in the heart of winter to summer stews shared around the fire.

FAQ

This 6-litre cauldron can feed up to 4 people .

Its size is ideal for making bread and it can be moved easily.

It is also possible to use several cauldrons simultaneously for larger banquets... this avoids having to buy larger sizes which then weigh more than 9 kg!

Yes, and that's a crucial point for us.

Our cauldrons have been laboratory tested by TÜV , an independent German certification body recognized for its high product safety requirements.

The analyses confirm that the melting process does not release any undesirable substances and that the cauldron fully complies with European and French food contact standards.

(EC 1935/2004, REACH, CM/Res(2020)9, French decree no. 2007-766).

This guarantees healthy cooking every time, even for long cooking times.

Not at all! With our recipes and tips available on our blog, you can get started very easily. It's accessible to everyone , and the flavors are incomparable!

The cauldron is not just an object of leisure or traditional cooking: it is a real tool of resilience .

In the event of a power outage, energy shortage or political instability , it allows you to cook without depending on the network .

It simply runs on wood, coals, or any campfire, so you can continue to prepare hot, nutritious, family-friendly meals even in difficult situations.

It is a useful and prudent investment , at the crossroads of exploration, autonomy, and personal security.

Yes, absolutely.

Unlike barbecuing, where food fats are directly exposed to flames and produce harmful substances, cooking in a cauldron is gentler and at a lower temperature (90–95 °C), without generating these chemical derivatives .

It is a slow and controlled cooking method, ideal for preserving natural flavors.

Like a cast iron pan, simply wash it, dry it, and apply a light coating of oil. It improves with age and becomes increasingly pleasant to use .
