The Perforated Aluminum Basket And The Dutch Oven Each Feature A Wire Handle That Stays Upright At A 45-Degree Angle Away From The Heat, And Swings Down To The Side For Compact Storage. The Pot Measures 12 By 5 Inches And Features An Integral Tab Handle On One Side That Adds Leverage When Pouring Food Or Liquid Out Of The Pot.Before The First Use, The Cast-Iron Dutch Oven And Lid Should Be Seasoned At Least Once And Preferably Several Times. This Will Help Prevent Rusting And Creates A Nonstick Finish. After Washing And Drying Thoroughly, The Cookware Should Be Coated With Solid Vegetable Shortening, Such As Lard Or Bacon Fat (Not Butter Or Margarine). Let The Pot Bake In A 300-Degree-F Oven For One Hour, Then Remove And Wipe Off The Excess. Spraying With A Non-Stick Shortening After Each Use Can Also Help Season The Pan. Most Cast-Iron Cookware Can Be Scrubbed Clean By Hand Without Detergents And Then Should Be Dried Immediately.
