Know before you buy
Yes. While designed to optimize Smithey products, the chainmail scrubber, brush, and seasoning oil are perfectly safe and effective for any standard cast iron or carbon steel cookware.
The chainmail scrubber is designed to remove stuck-on food particles without stripping away the layers of polymerized seasoning you have worked to build. Use it with light pressure for routine cleaning.
After cleaning and thoroughly drying your pan, apply a very thin layer of the oil blend to the surface. Wipe away any excess with a lint-free cloth before heating the pan to ensure a smooth, non-stick finish.
Absolutely. The brush is intended for gentle scrubbing to remove debris without damaging the pan's surface, making it ideal for everyday maintenance after cooking.
No. The seasoning oil is shelf-stable and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight to maintain its consistency.
