Materials

Traditional gray iron. This is the same alloy of iron that was used for cookware historically and is still the most popular option for cast iron cookware today.

Stargazer iron is sourced in the US from recycled materials. These raw materials are tested at multiple points in the supply chain and again during their production process, to ensure purity and safety. They have a zero tolerance policy for heavy metals and other toxins.

Use Instructions

  • Preheat your cast iron to ensure even heating and promote non-stick cooking. We recommend 3-5 minutes on low heat before turning up the temperature or adding any food.

  • Use a burner that closely matches the size of the skillet.

  • Acidic ingredients like wine and tomato sauce can be rough on the seasoning. If you do lose some seasoning, no problem, you can easily touch it up later.

Oven, Grill & Fire-Safe: One of the best features of cast iron is that it can be safely used in or over any heat source. You can even use it for baking. Please be careful handling the cookware after removing it from a closed heat source like the oven, grill or from over the fire. It needs plenty of time to cool.

Care Instructions

After you've finished cooking, follow these steps to ensure you've got a clean and dry skillet before putting it away.
  1. Allow your skillet to cool.
  2. Place it in the sink under hot running water. Add a small amount of gentle dish soap if you like.
  3. Scrub away food debris with a soft sponge or dish brush and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.
  4. Dry your skillet immediately and completely.
  5. Place your skillet back on low heat for a few minutes to be sure its dry.

Seasoning

Seasoning is a layer of polymerized (hardened) fat or oil that coats the surface of the iron to protect it and ensure non-stick cooking performance. Seasoning will come and go with regular use and is easily reapplied. We recommend using a cooking oil with a high smoke point, such as grapeseed or sunflower oil. 

Maintenance Seasoning: To be done regularly after you cook and clean.

  1. Preheat your skillet on the stove over low heat for 5-10 minutes.

  2. Wipe a thin coat of oil onto the cooking surface and heat for another 5-10 minutes, or until the oil looks dry.

Full Seasoning: To be done periodically, or anytime you see bare iron or rust.

  1. Preheat the oven to 225 °F. Wash and dry your skillet completely. Place your skillet in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then carefully remove.
  2. With a cloth or paper towel, spread a thin coast of oil all over the skillet: inside, outside, handle, etc., then wipe off all excess. Place your skillet back in the oven, upside down. Increase the temperature to 475 °F for one hour. Turn off the oven and remove your skillet.
  3. Repeat these steps to add additional layers of seasoning. We recommend 2-3 layers of seasoning on bare iron.

End of Life Instructions

Use this skillet for generations or pass on to someone else. It can be recycled at the end of life.
