Cast iron tips

Never clean in dishwasher. Follow cleaning instructions before first use.

For best performance, always pre-heat your Victoria cast iron before using on low to medium heat. For searing, allow your iron to heat for 4 to 5 minutes.

Thermal shock can warp iron. Do not expose your iron to intense thermal changes such as putting it under cold water while still hot from cooking or getting a very cold pan hot too quickly. All temp changes should be slow and steady.

Occasionally, you may notice a dark residue when pat-drying your iron. If the residue is gunky, you may have baked-on food that needs to be thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned off. If it’s very thin and oily, it’s just the seasoning reacting to foods. Wipe off with lint free cloth. It will disappear with regular use and care.

Suitable for all stovetops including induction, however, never slide cookware on glass or ceramic cooktops to avoid scratches.

Use mostly low to medium heat. High heat can cause smoke and food to stick. Delicate foods like eggs should be cooked on low.
