What is seasoning?
How is Feroall cookware made?
Our cast iron cookware is manufactured through the casting process in our foundry in Kolhapur, renowned for manufacturing quality castings.
The well thought cookware design is used to create a pattern of the cookware. This pattern is then used to make sand moulds which will then be used for making the final product.
The next step involves melting iron at 2,800°F. The molten iron is then checked for purity and poured into the moulds. Once cooled, the moulds are released on a shakeout line, leaving behind a solid, raw casting.
Each product then undergoes preliminary clean-up grinding. We prefer to keep our surfaces as cast to give an organic and original cast iron cookware experience. The cookware then goes for inspection where it is checked for hardness and quality.
Then comes the seasoning process. Each Feroall cookware is seasoned with two coats of sesame /linseed/ groundnut oil. These oils give the cookware a natural non-stick coating and make it ready to be used right out of the box. This step makes the cookware ready to be shipped to their permanent homes.
Do you ship internationally?
There are small holes/minor imperfections/colour variations on my cast iron cookware. Are they defects?
What is the black residue I see on the cookware? Is it harmful?
No need to worry. The black residue is just the leftover oil from the seasoning process. We strictly use edible oil for seasoning. So it is not harmful. Just wipe it off a few times with cloth or paper napkin, wash with soap and water and the cast iron cookware would be good to use.
When should the cookware be re-seasoned?
Food is sticking to my cookware. What should I do?
I found rust on my skillet, what should I do?
Rust forms when the cookware is kept wet or exposed to moisture for an extended period. But this does not mean that your cookware is damaged or out of use. You can easily re-season the cookware using the following steps.
1. Scour – Scout the surface of your cookware with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly.
2. Oil – Apply a thin layer of any cooking oil to the entire cookware including the handle.
3. Bake – Place the cookware in an oven and bake at 450- 500 degree Fahrenheit for around 45 to 60 minutes. Allow it to cool and the cast iron cookware is ready to be used.
