How do I store cast iron to prevent rust?

Store in a dry place with lids off or askew for airflow. Place paper towels between stacked pans. In humid climates, a thin oil coating helps.

Can I cook acidic foods in cast iron?

Brief contact with acidic foods (tomatoes, wine, citrus) is fine. Avoid simmering acidic dishes for more than 30 minutes, as this can damage seasoning and give food a metallic taste.

Why does food stick to my cast iron?

Food sticks when the pan isn't hot enough or doesn't have enough fat. Preheat the pan, add oil until shimmering, then add food. The pan should sizzle immediately.

What's the best oil for seasoning cast iron?

Flaxseed oil creates the hardest seasoning but can flake. Crisco or vegetable oil are reliable and affordable. Avoid olive oil—its low smoke point creates sticky seasoning.
