Cast iron pot 5l 26cm Black

The pot with a capacity of 5 liters and a diameter of 26 cm is made of cast iron, which does not release any harmful substances and distributes heat well across its entire surface. It is suitable for gas and electric ovens. Before first use, it is recommended to remove vegetable oil by washing in warm water with a neutral dishwashing detergent, wipe dry, coat with oil, and heat. The package also 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 a neutral detergent: Add a small amount of neutral cleaning agent 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: Use a soft brush to gently clean the inside and outside of the pot, removing any dirt and rust-prevention agent.
4. Rinse the pot thoroughly with clean water to remove all cleaning agent residues.
5. Dry the pot: Wipe the pot with a clean cloth until dry.
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 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 that 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 pot's protection.

Instructions for treatment (seasoning):
Wash the pot with hot water and a neutral cleaning agent and rinse thoroughly.
Dry the pot with a clean cloth.
Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil on 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.
