CARE & MAINTENANCE

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.
