How do I properly clean my cast iron pan?

The correct cleaning of a cast iron pan is ideally done immediately after use with hot water and a stiff brush. Aggressive cleaning agents and dish soap should be avoided to protect the valuable patina. The natural protective layer is the secret to the non-stick properties.

Stubborn food residues can be loosened by briefly heating the pan with some warm water. Alternatively, special cleaning tools like the Petromax Chain Mail Cleaner or the Scraper for Dutch Ovens and Skillets, which is also available with grooves specifically for the cast iron grill pan, can help.

Afterwards, the cast iron pan should be thoroughly dried and treated with Petromax Care Conditioner for cast and forged iron to prevent rust formation. This special Care Conditioner is perfectly tailored to the needs of cast iron.

If rust does occur, it can be removed with steel wool or salt. After that, the pan must be re-seasoned to restore the protective layer and prevent rust.

How do I look after my cast iron mold properly?

Caring for a cast iron pan is incredibly simple. Here are the key tips:

Cleaning: After use, clean the pan with hot water and a brush. Avoid dish soap, as it can damage the natural patina.
Drying: Thoroughly dry the pan, preferably on the stove over low heat.
Oiling: Once the pan has cooled, rub it with a thin layer of oil (e.g., cooking oil). This protects against rust and preserves the patina.
