Cooking with Cast Iron

Kicking off 2022 with new cookware or are fortunate to own heirlooms with generations of cooked-on grease? Evapo-Rust® Super Safe Rust Remover will help you care for your cast iron cookware marvels.

How to Care for Cast Iron Cookware

Cast iron cookware needs TLC. So rust is the enemy. Use Evapo-Rust® on your cookware without worrying about harmful chemicals getting in your food because it is non-toxic, safe on the skin, and leaves no residue. Our proudest moments are when our customers tell us they love Evapo-Rust® because it easily removes the rust. With Evapo-Rust®, you never have to let a rusty skillet get in the way of cooking a memorable meal.

Steps to Remove Rust from Cast Iron Cookware

  • Step 1: Pour enough Evapo-Rust® in a container to cover the rusted object completely.
  • Step 2: Immerse the rusty object in the solution. For light rust, let it soak for ten minutes. For heavy rust, soak overnight.
  • Step 3: Rinse with water when finished. Re-immerse the item until all the rust is gone if deep rust remains in pits. It will not affect the un-rusted metal.
  • Step 4: Dip the item back into the solution to prevent flash rusting. Then allow the piece to air dry. Letting it air dry will prevent rust for up to two weeks. If the iron does flash rust in the future, simply scrub Evapo-Rust® on the surface.

Seasoning. Preserve for Years to Come

It’s time to season the pan! Whether you are restoring your cookware after rust has been removed or are starting with new cookware, seasoning cast iron will preserve them for years to come. This step is crucial when caring for cast iron cookware. So don’t be tempted to skip it.

Note: Some cast iron cookware is pre-seasoned.

How to Season Cast Iron Cookware

  1. Place the pan in the oven at 200°F to eliminate any moisture and open the pores of the metal to receive the oil.
  2. Coat it lightly with oil (organic flaxseed oil is recommended)
  3. Rub the oil off with a paper towel or cloth, and place the pan upside down in the oven.
  4. Heat the oven to the highest temperature (450-500°F) and let the pan heat with the oven.
  5. After an hour at the hottest temperature, let the pan cool in the oven for two hours.
  6. Repeat several times for the best results.

When seasoned properly, cast iron lasts for generations.
