• Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store lids on the pot or pan in order to allow proper air circulation.

• With proper care, your Lodge cast-iron cookware will last beyond a lifetime
Home Seasoning Instructions
Seasoning is the process of applying a thin coat of cooking oil to the entire surface of the cookware, then baking the oil onto the cookware creating a natural nonstick finish.
• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
• Step 2: Wash the cookware (inside and out) with mild detergent using a stiff brush. Rinse and towel dry.
• Step 3: Spread or spray a thin coat of melted shortening or spray-on vegetable oil over the entire surface of the pan, including the handle and exterior surfaces.
• Step 4: Lower both your oven racks to the two bottom positions. Line the lower rack with aluminum foil (to catch drippings), and place the cookware upside down on the middle rack of oven and bake for one hour. Turn the oven off and leave cookware in the oven until cool.
• Repeating the process will only further season the cookware, turning it darker and and improving the appearance.
