Product Care & Maintenance

How should I care for my enameled cast iron cookware?
Our signature pieces require gentle hand washing with mild detergent—avoid abrasive cleaners. For stubborn food residue, soak in warm water before cleaning. Season bare cast iron items regularly with food-grade mineral oil to maintain their non-stick properties.
What’s the best way to maintain sharp knives?
Hand wash knives immediately after use and dry thoroughly. Store in a knife block or on a magnetic strip—never loose in drawers. We recommend professional sharpening annually, or more frequently for heavy users.
Are your bar glasses dishwasher safe?
While our premium glassware is dishwasher safe for convenience, hand washing preserves their clarity and longevity. Avoid extreme temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
