Maintaining the Seasoning
Camp Chef Cast Iron comes Pre Seasoned and ready to cook out of the box. Follow these simple
instructions to care for and maintain your cast iron cookware.
1. Let the cast iron cool. Wipe any remaining food out of the oven. Using really
warm water, wash all surfaces thoroughly. Be sure to rinse and dry completely.
(Note: Citrus-based soap can remove the seasoning of your cast iron if you
don’t restore it after cleaning.) Camp Chef sells a wonderful simple tool called
a Pan Scraper. The Pan Scraper is excellent for helping stubborn baked on
food without damaging your cast irons seasoned finish. Each corner of the pan
scraper has a different curve allowing your to clean every corner of your oven.
2. After each use, apply a small amount of Camp Chef Cast Iron Conditioner,
and thinly coat all surfaces of the cast iron. This will keep your cast iron black –
continuing to build the finish called a “patina.” This enhances your cast iron by
creating a glass-like finish, giving it a natural non-stick surface.
3. If your cast iron becomes dull and dry looking (often caused by cooking acidic
based food), add an extra coating of Camp Chef Conditioner. Place the oven in a
direct heat source upside down and heat to 400 degrees. Cookware will smoke
as the seasoning bakes in. As smoking begins to slow, remove from heat. Use or
let cool and store.
Store your cookware in a dry, clean area with a light coating of Cast Iron
Conditioner. Your cast iron will be ready for use the next time you retrieve it.
Avoid any locations with widely fluctuating temperature conditions.
Alternate Cooking Method
By diverting, trapping, and circulating heat, the Dutch
Oven Dome creates a convection oven for your cast
iron. The combination of the included Heat Diffuser
and the Dutch Oven Dome provides the most
effective heat distribution method for cooking with a
Dutch oven. By cooking on a gas stove you can also
reduce or eliminate the cost and mess of charcoal.
This also allows you to cook with a Dutch oven during
fire restrictions when fire or charcoals are not allowed.
Essential Gear for Dutch Oven Cooking
The right tools always make Dutch oven cooking easier. Here are a few tools that we suggest for
your Dutch oven cooking.
The Charcoal Lighter Basket
As mentioned before the Charcoal Lighter Basket is essential
if you are going to be doing your Dutch oven cooking with
charcoal. The Charcoal Lighter Basket is the quickest and
easiest way to get coals hot.
Lid Lifter
The Camp Chef Lid Lifter is the perfect aid in picking up your
dutch oven lid while you cook. It lifts the lid while keeping
it level. It’s important to keep the lid level to avoid getting
charcoal ash in the food.

The Camp Table is the perfect companion to any table top
stove or Dutch oven. The camp tables elevate the Dutch
ovens, allowing for easy preparation and serving.
