SEO article: How to care for a cast-iron pan

How to care for a cast-iron pan so it lasts a lifetime

A good cast-iron pan can outlive its owner, but only if it's looked after. The good news: caring for cast iron takes about two minutes after each use. Here's what to do every day, how to season the pan and what to do if rust appears.

Daily care: clean while it's warm

  1. Let the pan cool slightly, but clean it while it's still warm. Food comes off more easily.
  2. Rinse with hot water and scrub with a stiff brush or a chain-mail scrubber. A drop of mild dish soap is fine; modern soaps won't strip properly built seasoning.
  3. Dry completely. Wipe with a towel, then put the pan on low heat for 2–3 minutes until every drop has evaporated.
  4. Oil lightly. Rub in half a teaspoon of vegetable oil with a paper towel, then wipe off the excess. The surface should look matte, not shiny.

Avoid: soaking the pan, the dishwasher and leaving it to air-dry. All three lead to rust.

How to season cast iron

Seasoning is a thin layer of oil baked onto the metal. It protects the pan from rust and makes it naturally non-stick. Re-season a new pan once before first use and any pan that looks dull or patchy.

StepWhat to doTime
1Wash, dry and warm the pan5 min
2Rub a thin layer of oil with a high smoke point everywhere, including the handle2 min
3Wipe off as much oil as you can1 min
4Bake upside down at 230 °C, with foil on the rack below1 hour
5Let it cool in the oven1–2 hours

Repeat 2–3 times for a new or restored pan.

What to do if your cast iron rusts

Light orange spots are not a disaster. Scrub them off with steel wool and a little water until you see bare grey metal, rinse, dry on the stove and season the pan using the table above. After two rounds, the pan will cook as well as before.

Quick answers

Can I cook tomatoes in cast iron? Yes, for short dishes. Long-simmered acidic sauces can wear down fresh seasoning.

Why is my pan sticky? Too much oil was left on during seasoning. Bake it again for an hour at 230 °C.

Questions and answers

How is a pillar page different from a normal article?

It covers a broad topic in breadth and hands off the details to narrower articles through links. A normal article goes deep on one question.

What if I have no cluster articles yet?

The guide comes with a list of subtopics worth their own articles, so you know what to write next.

Will the article rank on the first page?

No one can honestly promise that. A pillar page works together with the articles around it and builds strength over time.
