Seasoned with Traditional Methods

Our cast iron pot is seasoned using traditional methods, ensuring it doesn’t stick and can be used semi-permanently.

Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Pot

Before use, the pot is repeatedly heated and coated with perilla oil or cooking oil.

Fully Seasoned Cast Iron Pot

For a fully seasoned pot, add a handful of leafy greens and boil thoroughly before cleaning and use.

Usage and Storage Instructions

Our pots are sold pre-seasoned. If not stored properly and rust forms, follow the guidelines below:

1. After washing, dry the pot over low heat and apply oil if not used for an extended period. Use a sponge for cleaning.
2. Deep frying in the pot aids in seasoning.
3. If the seasoned coating wears off, reapply oil and repeat the seasoning process (steps 4-5).
4. For rust, repeat the seasoning process (steps 3-5).
