Cast Iron Care & Tips
Cast iron is great to cook with and only gets better with time. It distributes heat evenly and heats fast on any stove top. Cast iron also adds a significant amount of dietary iron to your food. Cast iron will last a life time if properly seasoned and cared for.

* Never put cast iron in the dishwasher and never allow cast iron to drain dry.
* Always store cast iron uncovered in a dry place.
* When seasoning or treating your cast iron always use vegetable shortening. Never use salted fat such as butter or margarine.
* For rust spots use steel wool on the rust spots and re-season.

Keep these hints in mind when you are caring for your cast iron and your cookware will last forever.
