After cooking in your cookware, it can be cleaning by putting in hot water and bringing to a boil. After pouring out boiling water, wipe dry with a paper towel.

Never use detergent to clean seasoned cookware, as it will remove the seasoning. DO NOT put in dishwasher or wash with soap or dishwashing detergent.

If something sticks to the surface, dislodge it by simply using a spoon. Do not use any abrasive item to scrub cookware. Again, this can cut into seasoned surface. |

While the cookware is still warm from washing, but dry, apply just enough grease to wet all surfaces.
