Seasoning Wipes Maintenance Guide

Seasoning Wipe Daily Usage Guide:

  1. Wash cookware, be sure to remove all food residue.

  2. Completely dry cookware surfaces with towel/napkin or by placing on stove and heating.

  3. Place cookware on stove and heat on medium until surface is warm, but not smoking. Warm/hot cast iron will transfer the oils from the wipe to the surface of the cast iron.

  4. Using a single wipe, fold or “scrunch” into a ball and coat the entire surface of the cookware. Only a thin layer of seasoning oil is needed.

    • If cast iron is very hot, oils may smoke upon applying - this is okay.
    • You should not see any pooling. Less is more in cast iron seasoning.

  5. Continue heating just until smoke begins to appear from the cookware.

  6. Remove cookware from the heat source and let cool until next use.

Seasoning wipes are biodegradable and prefer to be composted. They are not suitable for recycling, but feel free to use each wipe multiple times.


Oven Seasoning Guide:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 425.
  2. Wash cast iron, be sure to remove all food and loose pieces
  3. Completely dry cookware surfaces with towel/napkin or by leaving in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Using our Seasoning Wipes, wipe entire surface, inside and out of the cookware
    • If cast iron is very hot, oils may smoke upon applying - this is okay.
  5. Place cookware back inside the oven face down and set time for 1 hour
  6. After 1 hour Inspect cookware. You should not see any pooling and the surface should be a matte in color and appear to be "dry" looking
    • If pooling has occurred and the seasoning looks "rough", "textured", "wet", or "sticky" place back in over for another 30 minutes.
    • If you do have pooling still present, you can wipe the surface with a paper towel to see if it is sticky. If its still sticky, we recommend baking longer. 
  7. Turn off oven and let cookware naturally cool.
  8. Repeat this process 2-3 times.
