Alice, we understand how hard it can be to sift through all the information out there about the best and worst ingredients to use for cast iron curing. Even as professional restorers it was overwhelming sifting through polymerization rates and smoke points. So many oils promise the tough surface you need to withstand daily cooking, but at the cost of flaking the moment you get the pan too hot. Some are impossible to evenly apply, leaving behind a spotted and irregular cooking surface.
S all the chemicals and unnatural additives lurking in a surprising number of recommendations. Cast Iron is a premium cooking surface that has proven it can withstand the incredible temperate fluctuations of open fire cooking, the abuse of being toted across camp trails, and the scuffing of several generations cooking daily meals. Reaching back to family traditions, while at the same time looking forward to include newly developed techniques, we worked to blend tradition and modern science. Out of an absurd amount of research, hundreds of trials, and quite a few errors, emerged a cure that can live up to a legend. Safe up to 475 degrees, it can handle the rigors of even a professional kitchen without flaking. All natural, organic, and vegetarian, it provides a protective coating that is safe to enjoy without any chemicals or fillers. Odorless, tasteless, and water-resistant, it seals cast iron away from the rusty damage of moisture with a silky non-stick lacquer that won?T get in the way of your cooking. Every squeaky-clean pan is quickly wrapped in at least six layers of protective cure, sealing away all that historical iron safely behind layers of high-heat strength, naturally enhancing the beauty of every piece with a lustrous showroom quality shine.
