Know before you buy
No, this dish is not microwave or freezer safe. Because it is made of cast iron, it should only be used in conventional or toaster ovens.
No, it comes foundry-seasoned from the factory and is ready for immediate use. You can simply rinse it with water and dry it thoroughly before your first meal.
No, this dish is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately after cleaning.
No, this dish is not broiler safe. While it handles high heat in a conventional oven well, direct exposure to broiler elements can damage the seasoning or the dish itself.
Hand wash the dish with a stiff brush and hot water. Avoid soaking it, and always dry it completely on the stovetop over low heat before applying a very light layer of cooking oil to protect the surface.
