How do I clean my Dutch Oven?

Because it is made of cast iron, a Dutch oven requires thorough
cleaning after each use. With proper attention and care, the pot
will allow for great ease of use even after many years.
After use, the pot must be completely cooled down. Only warm
water is needed for cleaning. It is essential to add water only after
the pot has cooled down, otherwise thermal shock may occur and
the material may warp or, in the worst case, crack. In addition,
never use washing-up liquid or put the pot in the dishwasher - this
is extremely important, as otherwise the fat is removed from the
pot and the previously built-up patina is destroyed, which in turn
leads to rust.
To scrub o food residues, use a standard dishwashing sponge or
a brush. Now just dry the pot with a kitchen towel or a lint-free tea
towel and then seal the cast iron again with a light layer of oil. That
is all that is needed for cleaning. Any remaining germs will die o
during the next cooking process at the latest, as the pot is always
well preheated before use.

Properly storing the Dutch Oven

The pot should always be stored in a place that is as dry as possib-
le. To absorb any moisture, kitchen paper can be placed in the pot.
It is also advisable to place a piece of kitchen paper or cardboard
folded several times between the lid and the pot - this allows the
air to circulate well.
