How to Care for Meyer Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron

Quick answer

To keep your Meyer Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Induction 2 Piece Signature Combo Set performing well, hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately, then apply a thin layer of oil after each use.

Step-by-step care for your Meyer pre-seasoned cast iron

1. 1. Hand wash with mild soap: After cooking, let the pan cool slightly. Wash with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap using a soft sponge or brush. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the seasoning. Common mistake: Soaking the pan for long periods, which can cause rust. Dry immediately after washing.
2. 2. Dry thoroughly on the stove: Place the washed pan over low heat on your stove for 1-2 minutes to evaporate all moisture. This prevents rust formation. Common mistake: Air-drying, which leaves water spots and can lead to rust. The pan should be warm and completely dry before oiling.
3. 3. Apply a thin layer of oil: Use a paper towel to rub a very thin layer of a high-smoke-point oil (like canola, grapeseed, or vegetable oil) over the entire cooking surface and sides. Buff off any excess so the pan looks almost dry. Common mistake: Applying too much oil, which creates a sticky, tacky surface. Store in a dry place.
4. 4. Store properly: Place a paper towel inside the pan before stacking if you need to nest it with other cookware. This absorbs moisture and prevents scratches. Common mistake: Storing without protection, which can damage the seasoning from contact.
