Skeppshult Cast Iron Cookware FAQs
How do I season my Skeppshult cast iron pan properly?
To season your Skeppshult cast iron pan properly, apply a thin layer of neutral oil (like rapeseed) and heat until it begins to smoke. Then let it cool fully. Skeppshult pans come pre-seasoned with organic canola oil, but a top-up now and then keeps them performing beautifully. Skip olive oil - it can go sticky. Don’t slather the oil on, either. A light coat helps the natural non-stick layer build up slowly. For step-by-step help, see our blog on how to season your new cast iron skillet.
What's the best way to clean cast iron without damaging the surface?
The best way to clean cast iron is a gentle hand wash with warm water and a soft brush - no soap required. For stuck-on bits, scrub with coarse salt, rinse, then dry thoroughly. Never soak it or chuck it in the dishwasher, as that invites rust. Finish with a light coat of oil to maintain the seasoning. Cast iron thrives on a bit of fuss - treat it right and it’ll outlast the lot. Explore more tips on our Product Care & Repair blog hub.
Can Skeppshult pans be used on induction hobs and in the oven?
Yes, Skeppshult pans can be used on all hob types, including induction, and are oven-safe too. Thanks to their solid cast iron base, they distribute and hold heat wonderfully. Just keep an eye on any wooden or non-metal handles - they may not love high oven temps. Always check the maker’s advice. These pans are built to last and come with a lifetime guarantee, making them serious kitchen workhorses.
Is cast iron cookware a healthy and safe option for everyday use?
Yes, cast iron cookware is a healthy and safe option for daily use. There are no synthetic coatings or dodgy chemicals to worry about. In fact, a bit of iron might leach into your food - handy if you're low. Skeppshult pans are made without heavy metals and come pre-seasoned with organic canola oil. Their natural non-stick surface improves over time, making them a savvy swap for disposable non-stick pans.
What are the longest-lasting cast iron cookware options available?
The longest-lasting cast iron cookware options are bare cast iron pans made from high-purity iron, without enamel coatings that can chip. Skeppshult pans are top of the list - crafted in Sweden using traditional sand moulds and seasoned with organic oil. Repair-free and backed by a lifetime guarantee, they’re cookware you’ll use for decades. See more tough-as-old-boots options in our durable, high-quality cookware collection.
How can I prevent rust and maintain my cast iron over time?
To prevent rust and keep your cast iron in good nick, always dry it straight after washing - no lingering damp, thank you. Add a light coat of oil before storing to protect the surface. If rust does crop up, gently scrub it with steel wool, rinse, dry, then re-season. Never leave it soaking, and do steer clear of the dishwasher. With a bit of TLC, your cast iron can see you through decades of dinners. More advice on our Product Care & Repair page.
