INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE AND CARE OF CAST IRONWARE (july69pg3) 6-12-10

Cast iron utensils require slightly different handling in the home than utensils of some other materials. Cast Ironware is pre seasoned. This means that there is no anti rust lacquer to remove and that the seasoning is started at the factory. For most cooking purposes, no further seasoning is necessary and all that is needed is to wash and thoroughly dry the utensil (Strong detergents should not be used, however, as they tend to remove seasoning) This is true of skillets, griddles and regular pot roasting where no water is added. But if new dutch ovens and chicken fryers are to be used for stews or simmering, etc., a little more grease may be needed while they are still new to prevent rust caused by condensing moisture. Always remove the cover if you are not ready to serve the food immediately after cooking, so that condensing steam does not cause rust on the sides. This may occur with very moist foods when a cast iron utensil is new. After using several times there should be no trouble with rust in cooking.

A cast iron utensil should never be scoured. If it is scoured, the seasoning may be removed and rusting or a metallic taste may result. If for any reason scouring or scraping becomes necessary, do as little as possible and then use slightly more grease than usual when the utensil is next used. After each use, wash in hot soapy water (remembering the caution against detergents.) Rinse and wipe dry, then cover inside of utensil with a coating of unsalted shortening and when ready to use next time wipe the inside of pan and cover with a dry cloth or paper towel. Grease again with shortening and cook food as usual. Follow the plan of coating utensil before and after using first few times. Many successful cooks always coat the inside of a cast iron utensil with fat before putting foods in to cook. A cast iron utensil should not be stored with the cover on as this might cause sweating, which will develop rust. Also, never store in a moist, damp place. Do not worry when a cast iron utensil becomes spotted with water or grease. They will darken and season evenly with time and continued use. Rust, discolored food or metallic taste are all indications that the seasoning has been removed from the pores of the metal. As soon as the utensil has absorbed additional grease from cooking, it will be permanently rust-proof for all types of cooking. If the condition persists, however, and is very bad, it will be better to reseason it.
