Product Guide & Care
CAST IRON
Black iron pans are protected by a clear, non-toxic oil coating that must be removed before their first use. Once the coating is removed, the pan should be seasoned with cooking oil to develop a natural film. Over time and with regular use, this film will build up and cause the pan to become virtually non-stick. Continued use at high temperatures with oil and food will only add to the protective layers. These layers are completely safe and pose no risk, even under high heat.
Although black iron can rust, any rust that forms can be removed by thoroughly cleaning and scouring the pan. Once the rust is removed, the pan should be re-seasoned. It is important to always clean the pan in hot water using washing-up liquid, then dry it immediately by hand and coat it with oil. These pans are not dishwasher safe and should never be placed in a dishwasher.
After each use, it is recommended to wipe the pan clean with paper towels and ensure it is completely dry to prevent rust. If rust does develop, repeat the cleaning and seasoning process. Lastly, a dry pan should never be used under any circumstances.
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.
