12" Braising Lid

Put a lid on it!

This 12 inch lid fits and completes the 12 inch Braising Pan. The self-basting nubs on the underside of the lid deliver moisture back into the dish you are cooking, keeping it nice and juicy. The top handle is a beautifully designed brass abstraction of a cherry branch, adding an ornamental element to this functional cast iron lid.

Cast Iron Care:

Three Rules:

1. Don't use the dishwasher

2. Don't soak it in the sink

3. Don't put it away wet

Wash

Gently scrape off any food bits with a spatula, and wipe out any excess oil with a rag or paper towel, then rinse under warm water.

Don’t be afraid to scrub if you need to. You can use coarse salt to help as well. If you’ve got a tough mess, it’s ok to use a dab of soap* along with a nylon brush, sponge, or scrubby cloth.

Dry

After washing, make sure to dry your pan completely. Use a towel - don’t air dry (remember, rust is iron oxide. Wet cast iron plus air equals rust). You can heat your pan on medium-low over the stove to help it along if you like.

Oil

Immediately after your pan is dry, and while it’s still warm (not hot), add a few drops of oil and use a paper towel to lightly coat the entire interior. Work it in evenly, wipe off any excess, and let it cool before storing. This thin coat of oil protects your pan from rust and adds to its seasoning.
