How to use

Before first use, season the cast iron according to standard cast-iron care: wash with warm water, dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of cooking oil, then heat to polymerize the oil. When cooking outdoors, hang the kociołek over a fire or place it on a stable grill or flat surface and preheat gradually to avoid thermal shock. Add ingredients and maintain moderate heat for even simmering. After use, allow the pot to cool slightly, clean with hot water and a brush without harsh detergents, dry completely and apply a light coat of oil to protect the surface.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use medium-hot embers or a low-to-moderate flame to avoid hot spots; regular seasoning and drying after cleaning will extend the lifespan of the cast iron and maintain non-stick properties.
