Cast iron pot 4.5 L 26 cm Grey

The pot with a capacity of 4.5 liters and a diameter of 26 cm is made from an alloy that does not release any harmful substances and well distributes heat across its entire surface. Suitable for gas or electric oven. Before first use, it is recommended to remove vegetable oil by washing in warm water with neutral dishwashing detergent, dry thoroughly, coat with oil, and heat. The package includes a cast iron lid.

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

How to do it:
1. Fill the pot with hot tap water and let it sit for a while.
2. Add neutral cleaning agent: Add a small amount of neutral cleaning detergent to the hot water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents as they may damage the surface of the pot.

Treating the pot with oil creates a protective layer on its surface, which prevents rust and corrosion.

The seasoning process should be repeated regularly to maintain the pot's protection.
