- Cast Iron Pans
Cast iron pans are the undisputed workhorses of the kitchen, but they can’t stand the dishwasher. Harsh detergents and high temperatures remove the polymerized layer of oil—also known as “seasoning”—that gives cast iron its natural nonstick properties. Without this protective layer, the iron will quickly rust when exposed to moisture and air. Repeated use in the dishwasher will severely damage the iron’s surface over time.
Care Instructions: Hand wash with hot water and a stiff brush (soap is rarely needed). Dry
