Our cast iron is fully stripped, cleaned, seasoned and ready to use! Depending on the condition of the piece, we use a lye bath to strip the old seasoning off of the pan, and an electrolysis bath to remove rust. Then it is double re-seasoned on the outside with triple seasoning on the cooking surface. We only use grapeseed oil, which provides a wonderful finish for those wishing to avoid animal-based products (vegetarian friendly). Smoother pieces will show a shine on some of the images or appear wet. This is due to multiple seasonings and the temperature they are seasoned at. It's important to note that antique cast iron cookware is used, and pieces generally show wear marks such as minor utensil scratches which are testament to years of household cooking. Our restoration allows the immediate use of the cast iron, but proper care after purchase helps ensure the piece will continue to perform well and last for generations to come!
*Most antique cast iron has a tendency to develop slight rocks or wobbles over time through normal use. This is due to exposure deals to high heat over the years from use over direct flame such as gas stoves, or over wood/coal fired stoves. Generally, this does not affect the performance of the piece, but might be noticeable when placed on a glass cook top. Vintage cast iron was not designed for glass cook tops, but nonetheless often works very well on them. We have tested this piece on a quartz countertop surface, and it does exhibit a slight rock or wobble. Therefore, if used on a glass top stove, you will likely notice it. Depending on the model of your range, it may not be a problem at all. Induction generally works whether the pan is completely flat or not, as long as the warp isn't significant (more than a few cm). If you are concerned, we recommend checking with your manufacturer in advance of purchase.
