Product Guide & Care
CAST IRON
Ensure your cast iron's longevity and performance with these simple steps. Before first use, wash and dry, then apply a thin layer of vegetable oil and bake upside down in a preheated oven. When cooking, preheat, use moderate heat, and limit acidic foods to maintain seasoning. For cleaning, hand wash with a brush, avoiding soap. Dry immediately to prevent rust, and re-season as needed. Store in a dry place to avoid rust, and be mindful of gradual temperature changes to prevent cracking. Troubleshoot rust with a scrub and re-season, or address sticky residue with a salt scrub and re-seasoning.
POLY RATTAN
To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your Poly Rattan Baskets, please follow these care guidelines: Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away any dirt or spills. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these can damage the material. It is important not to submerge the baskets in water, as this can weaken the material and affect its structure. Always keep them dry and store them in a well-ventilated area if used outdoors.
Care for your bamboo steamer by hand washing with mild soap and a soft brush, avoiding abrasive pads or extended soaking. Ensure thorough air-drying after washing to prevent mold growth before storing. Store in a well-ventilated area to avoid residual moisture. Maintain the integrity of the wood by occasionally applying a small amount of food-safe mineral oil. Exercise caution and never place the bamboo steamer directly on a heat source, such as a stove burner.
ACACIA WOOD
Acacia wood is a natural product and as such there will be variation of colour and grain from time to time. As with all wood, Acacia wood is not dishwasher safe and should be washed in warm soapy water and dried immediately. It should not soak in water. As with many wooden products Acacia wood can dry out, so store in a cold dry place and we recommend applying vegetable oil every so often to maintain the colour. However as it is a natural product colour may deteriorate over time.
