Frequently asked questions about Cast iron

What are the advantages of Petromax cast iron?

Petromax cast iron has already become the first choice for many outdoor cooks, and there are good reasons for this. The pots and pans are made of high-quality German cast iron, which is known for its excellent heat conduction and storage. This means that the heat is distributed evenly and your dishes always turn out perfectly. The natural, fine-pored surface also develops a patina over time, providing excellent non-stick properties. This means your food burns less and the cleaning process is made easier. The cast iron is also extremely robust and durable. With a Petromax product, you are investing in cookware that will accompany you for a lifetime.

How do I look after my cast iron mold properly?

Caring for a cast iron mold is very simple. Here are the most important tips:

Cleaning: After use, clean the mold with hot water and a brush. You should avoid using washing-up liquid as it can damage the natural patina.
Drying: Dry the mold thoroughly, preferably on the stove at low heat.
Oiling: As soon as the mold has cooled down, rub it with a thin film of oil (e.g. cooking oil). This protects against rust and preserves the patina.

How long does a cast iron mold last?

With the right care, a cast iron mold can last a lifetime and even be passed down through generations. Cast iron is a very robust material that is hardly susceptible to damage if handled correctly.

Are cast iron molds dishwasher safe?

No, cast iron molds should never be put in the dishwasher. The high temperature, pressure and aggressive cleaning agents can damage the mold and remove the patina.

Are cast iron molds difficult to clean?

Over time, cleaning becomes easier and easier as the natural patina prevents food from sticking. Clear water and a robust dishwashing brush are the tools of choice. For more stubborn food residues, the Petromax scraper for fire pots and pans or the ring cleaner are indispensable helpers that do not require any aggressive cleaning agents.

Why should I choose cast iron molds?

Cast iron pans are an investment for life and offer numerous advantages over other cookware. Their excellent heat properties ensure even heat distribution, which leads to perfectly cooked results. The natural patina that forms over time creates a unique taste experience. Cast iron pans are extremely versatile and are suitable for both the stove and the oven. With our different shapes, you don't have to miss out on absolute classics such as waffles or poffertjes!
