Do Petromax cast iron products have to be baked?Updated 4 months ago

All Petromax cast irons are already pre-baked. You do not have to burn them in before first use, we have already done that for you. Delivered ready to use, you can try them out immediately after rinsing them briefly with warm water. Please take care never to bring cast iron products that have already been baked on into contact with washing-up liquid.

However, cast iron requires some care to ensure that it lasts for a long time. If the patina starts to deteriorate or your Petromax cast iron shows rust in some places because it was exposed to too much moisture during storage, you can counteract this with simple steps. The Petromax cast iron is robust and forgives small mistakes in use. In such a case, depending on the severity of the rust, you can either simply re-grease (we recommend the Petromax Care Paste for cast and wrought iron due to its long durability ) or re-bake your cast iron. You can find out exactly how to do this in the instructions for use for Petromax cast iron in general on page 3.
