Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I purchased an iron pot. Is there anything I need to do before using it? A. Please rinse it with a soft sponge and water. (Do not use detergent, as it will penetrate into the uneven surface of the iron and become difficult to remove.)

Q. What should I do after using it? A. Always transfer any remaining food to a separate container and wash with a soft sponge and water. (Do not use detergent, as it will penetrate into the uneven surface of the iron and become difficult to remove.) Place it over low heat to completely evaporate any moisture. Store in a place with low humidity.

Q. Rust has developed. What should I do? A. Scrub off the rust with a sponge. After that, rinse with water, let it dry, and apply a thin layer of cooking oil to that area.

Q. I left it on the heat empty for a long time. Is it safe to continue using? A. Wait until it cools down. Adding water suddenly may cause it to crack. Avoid rapid cooling as it is dangerous. After it has cooled, rinse the inside, boil water in it, and check for cracks, metallic odors, etc. If there are no abnormalities, you may continue using it.

Q. The coating has come off. Is it safe to continue using? A. There is no problem with continued use. However, since the coating is applied to prevent rust, areas where the coating has peeled off will be more susceptible to rusting. Therefore, after use, remove food as quickly as possible, wash with a soft sponge and water, and place over low heat to completely evaporate moisture. The coating will naturally come off over years of use, but please continue using it without concern.

Q. The wooden lid has a strong odor that bothers me. How can I eliminate the smell? A. If you simmer the wooden lid in hot water with a few drops of vinegar for a while, the odor will diminish.

Q. Is it okay to leave food in the pot? A. If left as is, iron will dissolve into the food, causing discoloration, and rust will develop. Always transfer food to a separate container immediately. If moisture remains, evaporate it over low heat for about 1-2 minutes. (This does not apply to enamel-coated products.)

Q. What precautions should I take with cast iron products? A. Cast iron products release iron depending on conditions. Therefore, if stored with moisture or food remaining, rust will develop.

Q. Can it be used on 100V/200V IH cooking heaters? A. Products with an IH mark can be used.
