Your Cast Iron Dutch Oven will need periodic maintenance to keep looking new.
Here's the process for the first wash and prep and whenever it looks like your Cast Iron Dutch Oven needs it:
Wash: Use dish soap and rinse well.
Dry: Thoroughly dry with a tea towel. No drip drying.
Warm: Place on low heat until completely dry. 160°C in the oven for 10mins will do the trick.
Oil: Apply a neutral oil with a dry cloth and place in the oven at 200°C for half an hour, then let cool.
Done: After cooling in the oven, it's ready to be stored away, patiently waiting for its next use.

Since receiving my Dutch Oven & starter kit I have gone nuts about making bread
Your step by step videos are a great help for a beginner like me
Thank you xx
First time bread baker here and this kit was incredible. So easily to follow all the steps, quality materials and a beautiful outcome with a delicious loaf the very first time!
I recently purchased one of your Dutch ovens for my daughter for her birthday. I own two of these already and use them weekly, they are brilliant, and I love that they both fit into my oven side by side. My daughter was very happy with the present and has already begun using it.
It’s great to be able to bake two at a time and I have noticed my loaf spring has improved
Double the loaves and better oven spring, what a win, Bethaney! We’re delighted your new setup is helping you bake more efficiently with improved results. Enjoy twice the delicious output! 😊🥖

Just baked my first sour dough loaf. While it was far from perfect, it did obtain the beautiful crusty texture with the cast iron Dutch oven.
That beautiful crust is already a wonderful first-loaf win, Maimoonah! We’re delighted the Cast Iron Dutch Oven delivered the texture you were hoping for. Every bake brings you closer to your perfect loaf! 😊🥖
