Skillet Care & Storage

No Soap

Never clean your skillet with soap and a steel wool pad! This destroys the polymerized oils you've created to make your skillet non-stick!

Warm Water

After meal use warm water and wooden spoon or bamboo brush and Kosher salt to clean excess food. Never use metal utensils to scrape cooking surface!

Rinse & heat

Rinse and dry skillet with paper towel.. Return to stovetop and heat for 45-60 seconds

season with light oil

Make sure your skillet is dry and warm to the touch! Be careful and apply a light coat of Skillet Doctor Seasoning Salve or high smoke point oil with clean cotton bandana to entire skillet, cooking surface, handle and exterior-then wipe off. Store your cast iron skillet in cool dry place.

We recommend using Skillet Doc's Seasoning Salve to coat your skillets after every wash & dry. Our special formula of locally sourced Petaluma beeswax, Napa Valley grape seed oil and sunflower oils are the perfect way to keep all your cast iron, carbon steel and wooden utensils in tip-top shape!
