How to reseason your cast iron:
1. Scrub the dutch oven clean using a cleaning mesh or a stiff brush.
2. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
3. Choose a cooking oil with a high smoke point, such as Sunflower or Grapeseed oil.
4. Apply a small amount of oil at a time and use a paper towel to rub it into the interior of the dutch oven, including the walls. Cast iron is porous, so you should be able to rub quite a bit of oil into the surface without excess oil. Repeat until the cast iron is well-oiled, but not dripping.
5. Place the dutch oven in the oven for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it and wipe away any excess oil on the surface.
6. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (205°C).
7. Bake the dutch oven for 1 hour, then turn off the oven and allow the to cool in the oven.
8. Once the dutch oven is cool, remove it from the oven and wipe away any remaining oil with a paper towel or cloth.

Your dutch oven is now seasoned and ready to use.
Repeat this process periodically to maintain the seasoning on your cast iron.

Q: Do I need to season my cast iron before using it?
A: No, our cast iron is pre-seasoned and ready to use.

Q: Is my cast iron non-stick?
A: All cast iron products are prone to food sticking while cooking during the first few uses. We recommend cooking "slow and low" to get to know your dutch oven.

Q: Can I store my dutch oven outside for extended periods of time?
A: Cast iron is not meant to be stored outside for long periods of time. Extended exposure to wet conditions may cause rust and unnecessary wear and tear. We recommend storing your dutch oven indoors to help it last as long as possible and to avoid the need to purchase a replacement.
