What should I do if my cast iron pan has finishing blemishes or discoloration?Updated 7 months ago

It is not unusual for cast iron pans to have small finishing blemishes after they are oiled during production. As the pan dries, areas may appear to be a different color or show light spots where the pan was not fully covered with the finish. These variations in appearance should not affect the cooking performance, and after the pan is seasoned with oil, these blemishes will begin to blend into the surface and become less noticeable with the use of the pan.

If you encounter any issues with your pan going forward, such as the appearance of rust or concerns over a powdery black residue, please reach out to our customer service team for assistance. In the case of rust, cleaning the pan with light soap and water, then applying oil should resolve the issue. Keep in our pan that you may encounter patina development over time, which is a normal aspect of using cast iron cookware.

If the appearance of these blemishes is significant, and you feel it affects the quality of your cooking experience, you may consider reaching out for further support and instructions. However, we encourage you to enjoy your pan as these imperfections typically diminish with regular use and seasoning of cast iron cookware.
