WHAT TO DO IF CAST IRON COOKWARE ADDS BLACK RESIDUE TO FOOD? 



The cast iron cookware will release black residue at first. Don’t worry; it’s been seasoned with 100% vegetable oil. 


One quick hack you can try is to saute some onion or vegetable waste a few times to get rid of this black residue.  


The Solution:

  1. Apply a paste of oil & salt. 

  1. Spread it entirely on the cookware. 

  1. Rest it for three hours. 

  1. Scrub the salt-oil paste with a metal scrubber. 

  1. Wash the surface with warm, soapy water.

  1. Wipe it dry & season it.
