Before First Use

Apply oil sufficiently before first use. The oil goes into uneven surface of cast iron and forms a thin layer. As you oil the iron well, it will be less likely to get burnt or rusty.

1. Wash it well and remove any dirt on the surface.
2. Warm it up over low to middle heat to evaporate water after washing.
3. Apply a thin layer of oil and stir-fry some vegetable scraps so that the oil coats the entire surface.
4. After a few minutes, turn off the heat and take vegetables out.
5. After the iron cools down, wash it with scourer or brush in water. Then it's ready to use!
