Cast Iron Pot 8 L 29.5 cm Grey

This pot, with a capacity of 8 liters and a diameter of 29.5 cm, is made from an alloy that does not release any harmful substances and distributes heat well across its entire surface. It can be used on a gas stove and as a kettle over an open fire. Before first use, we recommend removing vegetable oil by washing in warm water with a neutral dish detergent, wiping dry, oiling, and heating. The package includes a cast iron lid and a hook for hanging.

The cast iron pot must be thoroughly washed before first use.

Instructions on how to do this:
1. Fill the pot with hot tap water and let it sit for a moment.
2. Add a neutral cleaning agent: Add a small amount of neutral detergent to the hot water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, as they could damage the surface of the pot.
3. Wash the pot with a soft brush: Gently wash the interior and exterior of the pot with a soft brush to remove all dirt and rust-prevention agent.
4. Thoroughly rinse the pot with clean water to remove all residues of the cleaning agent.
5. Dry the pot: Wipe the pot with a clean cloth until dry.
6. Apply a thin layer of oil: Coat the surface of the pot with a thin layer of vegetable oil to protect it from rust.

Tips:
Do not use steel wool to wash the cast iron pot, as it may damage its surface.
Do not wash the cast iron pot in the dishwasher.
Immediately dry the cast iron pot after washing to prevent rust formation.
Store the cast iron pot in a dry place.

Additional information:
Treating the pot with oil creates a protective layer on its surface, which prevents rust and corrosion.
This process is called "seasoning" and is important for extending the life of the cast iron pot.
The seasoning process should be repeated regularly to maintain the protection of the pot.

Instructions for treatment (seasoning):
Wash the pot with hot water and neutral cleaning agent and rinse thoroughly.
Dry the pot with a clean cloth.
Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to all internal and external surfaces of the pot.
Heat the pot in an oven preheated to 180 - 200 °C.
Let the pot bake for 1 - 2 hours.
Turn off the oven and let the pot cool in the oven.
