Caring for cast iron

Rinse, dry, oil and heat: four steps that keep cast iron working for a lifetime.

Start with what you use

Look at what you cook and serve every week, not once a year. The things you reach for daily deserve the best place and the best quality.

Buy fewer, better things

One good pan outlasts five cheap ones, and a well-made glass feels better in the hand. Spend where you touch it most.

• Keep everyday tools within reach of the hob.
• Store glasses upright, away from steam.
• Oil wooden boards once a month.

Make it a pleasure

A kitchen you like to stand in is one you cook in more.

Good tools make good habits.
