Cast Iron Pot 8L 32cm Grey

This pot with a capacity of 8 liters and a diameter of 32 cm is made from an alloy that does not release any harmful substances and distributes heat well across its surface. It is suitable for gas or electric stoves, as well as the oven. Before first use, we recommend removing vegetable oil by washing in warm water with a neutral dishwashing detergent, wiping dry, oiling, and heating. The package includes a cast iron lid.

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

How to do it:
1. Fill the pot with hot tap water and let it act for a while.
2. Add a neutral cleaning agent: Add a small amount of neutral cleaning detergent to the hot water. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, as they could damage the pot's surface.
3. Wash the pot with a soft brush: Gently wash the inside and outside of the pot with a soft brush to remove all dirt and anti-rust agent.
4. Rinse the pot thoroughly with clean water to remove all residues of the cleaning agent.
5. Dry the pot: Wipe the pot dry with a clean towel.
6. Apply a thin layer of oil: Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil on the surface of the pot to protect it from rust.

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

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

Instructions for treatment (seasoning):
Wash the pot with hot water and neutral cleaning agent and thoroughly rinse.
Dry the pot with a clean towel.
Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil on all interior and exterior 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 down inside it.
