Our guide. How to care for and restore Skeppshult cast iron cookware.

Skeppshult cast iron cookware is an investment for years to come. Their extraordinary durability, natural non-stick properties, and excellent heat conduction make them indispensable in the kitchen. However, to serve generations, they require proper care and, from time to time, renovation. Here is a comprehensive guide to help you learn how to properly care for your Skeppshult cookware.

1. Preparing the cookware for first use

New Skeppshult cast iron cookware is factory-impregnated with rapeseed oil and only requires thorough washing under running water and greasing with rapeseed oil. The applied oil should be heated to perform initial seasoning of the pan. This treatment will give the cookware a better non-stick layer and make it more resistant to corrosion.
