Why cooking in cast iron kitchenware?
This cast iron kitchenware, belongs in the category of Seasoned cast iron kitchenware. What does this mean?
In the past, all cast iron kitchenware came out of the production without any covering. That, had as a disadvantage that with time, a generation of rust upon the cast iron surface was creating. Last decades most of the foundries (except Lodge) implement the following procedure: After the molding of cast iron, kitchenware enter to a line of production where robots spray the kitchenware with enamel. This spray can be of little quantity, so a thin layer of enamel is formed, just to prevent cast iron from rusting. The spray can be of much quantity, usually with color, so the enamel cast iron kitchenware are formed. In first occasion the thin layer isn't visible to the eye or perceptible to the touch, except of course from the adepts! This kind of kitchenware are these that we import especially from Europe and italian factories.
Lodge does not implement this procedure.
In the past, especially in the USA, where there is a long tradition with cooking in cast iron, when someone purchased a cast iron kitchenware, without any layer, had to apply a thin layer of melted solid vegetable shortening or cooking oil of his choice, and bake it. In this way, in the surface of cast iron, a thin oil layer is formed and makes the cast iron skillet or oven or griddle, invulnerable to rust and at the same time nonstick in a natural way. This procedure is called seasoning and the reformation of this layer reseasoning.
From now on, the Lodge factory implements this procedure to all of its cast iron cookware (except from the enamel one's). As a result the products does not need any further elaboration. The consumer can use it without fear. Unpack and Use! This factory is the one and only that follows this procedure as so to produce the cookware. They sprinkle the cast iron surface with edible vegetable oil and then bake it in high temperature. This procedure creates a natural nonstick layer. Our cookware does not rust and does not stick. We avoid in this way the use of teflon. The most important is that with every use this layer becomes stronger and stronger. However, after a period of intense use the layer might goes off. Then you can easily restore it having in mind the instructions below.
You can watch all the details above, in the videos at the end of this page.
On account of all the above, the Pre-Seasoned cast iron kitchenware of Lodge, have a life-time guarantee.
