You will need, oil, micro fiber cloth and a green pad
Don't forget to thumbs up👍this video, it really does help me out, comment & subscribe... Have a Great Day 😊 - บันเทิง
How much I really needed to know that. Have a happy new year!
I appreciate your guidance on this. It worked out great. Thank you
You're welcome...tfw 😊
Very helpful. I followed your video exactly and wasn't difficult at all.
Tfw 😊
I was a little nervous about seasoning my new Tramontina dutch ovens but thanks to your informative video, my pans are now seasoned and ready to go. Thank you very much.
Yw...tfw 😊
Thanks for your easy helpful advice been hand much pot for months been afraid to use it because was not sure how to season it as the instruction stated but your video was very helpful I am now ready to use my pot 👍🏿👍🏿
You're welcome...tfw 😊
I just bought two pots. I was so scared to mess them up. So excited to find your channel. Just seasoned them today. Your instructions were so easy and helpful. Thanks to you....no disasters. 🤗
You're welcome, they are good pots, I love mine...tfw 😊
I just put mine in the oven. I got 2 weeks ago and plan on cooking Chicken Perloo this weekend for my family. Great video
Thanks.
That sounds yummy, tfw 😊
Great video. Thank you
Very helpful. Thank you!
Your welcome, tfw 😊
Thanks for sharing your tips ☺️
Your welcome...tfw 😊
So thankful for this! I saw that raw edge and read the directions and immediately got intimidated. Lol. You made me feel so much better!
What is that little green pad?
It's just a 3m green pad, you can buy them anywhere ( Target, Walmart, your local Grocery Store ) tfw...😊
Woooo, I was coming here because I seasoned the rim of my white dutch oven and came out with drips. Thank you for posting not to freak out and how to clean it off. I was looking at some of these other comments and don't understand why these people are so rude. The manufacturer has this seasoning recommended TWICE on my care sheet. Anyone who hasn't purchased this brand needs to step aside. Thank you again for your great tips!!
You're welcome, I think that sometimes people don't pay attention to the title of the video and assume it to be one of the other brands that don't require seasoning...tfw 😉
This really helped me out! I seasoned my tramontina dutch oven this way. I was nervous that it would crack but watching this video was so helpful thank you. I also think your setup is beautiful. Subscribed!
Glad this helped, thank you for the comment on my kitchen space and I appreciate you for subscribing... tfw 😊
Thanks for this! I was interested in purchasing the white one from this company. I'll probably only use it for bread but I'm very happy to know the seasoning oil doesn't have to stain 🙌
Yw, it's a heavy pot but it holds heat and cleans up beautifully...tfw 😊
Thank you! I just bought an enameled cast iron Dutch Oven. Box said season before using but no directions in box to tell you how! This was helpful!
You're welcome...tfw 😊
I’m in got it. Ty
so many opinions here Wow - thanks for the video...I'm sure no kettle was injured in the making!
Ikr...tfw 😊
Clicked on a random video for seasoning a Dutch over and of course, you pop up!! :) Pajama Mama for the win! Thank you for another incredibly easy video to follow. My MIL got me a set of two Dutch ovens for Christmas (LAST YEAR!!) which I unboxed and reorganized one of my cabinets to fit them in my kitchen but I have been intimated to try "seasoning" it. (I'm such a baby!) Then along comes your video! Boom! Now I just need to buy some grapeseed oil and I'll be in business! Question(s) ...If I don't have grapeseed oil, is there another oil that I can use? ...Once done, does this process need to be repeated? and if so, how often?
Hello there, you can use any oil with a high smoking point, Vegetable Oil, Peanut Oil, Avocado Oil... I don't season my Dutch Oven that often, and as you saw I only had to season the rim, on my other brands of enameled cast iron that are more pricey, I don't do the oven seasoning. The more expensive brands ( Le Creuset & Staub ) do not require that step...tfw 😊
Just followed your instructions on a new set of these Enamel Cast Iron pots. How often do I need to season the rims? Thanks for this
Exactly what I was wondering. If it is raw cast iron between the coatings I would think this step needs to be repeated…?
I only seasoned in the oven before the first use, but when I wash the pot I do add a tiny bit of oil on the rim...tfw 😊
When baking bread do I need to oil the bottom of the pot? Also the directions say not to exceed 400 degrees for the 6.5 QT enameled cast iron pot but the sourdough recipe says to bake at 425…is that ok? Lastly the knob on mine isn’t steel- it looks like a hard plastic type material…should I worry when baking with that? Unsure why the new ones don’t have stainless steel knobs
I don't bake bread except biscuits, so I don know the answer to that question. As far as the stainless steel knob, most of my Enameled Cast Iron came with, and for the one that I did purchase without the stainless knob, I purchased one separately. I wouldn't put non stainless knob in the oven on a very high heat, you can purchase a stainless knob for about $20 - $25 dollars through whatever company you bought your Enameled Cast Iron cookware...tfw 😊
You can bake your bread on 375 degrees ,you can replace your knobs, or buy a Dutch oven that can with stand ,at least 500 degree degrees
The top oven rim and lid rim is not raw cast iron actually. It’s also enameled with a clear glass coating. In the manufacturing process, the entire pot is first covered with the clear glass coating and then the colored enamel is added afterwards to its respective parts. You can season the inside if you really want to in order to enhance the non-stick surface, but you don’t need to season the rims. I got this information from Le Creuset.
Your absolutely correct if this was Le Creuset or Staub Enameled Cast Iron, this is not, this cast iron enameled Dutch Oven is by TRAMONTINA, a less expensive alternative which does require seasoning the rim per the instructions in the box, the TRAMONTINA website, and customer service, I did do my research before making this video. I do have videos on un-boxing of my higher end cast iron ( Le Creuset & Staub ) and I do not season them... tfw 😊
Great comment.
I bought a pre-seasoned ceramic Dutch oven. Do I need to re-season it after each use?
Thanks.
@@creekwalker62 no you do not... tfw 😊
I actually bought LC braiser (spelling? ) and didn’t do any pretreatment as in rubbing oil on the rim of the pot and lid San placing in the oven before using. Guess what….it had rust spots all around where there is no enamel coating. I use it ONCE! So disappointed. I had saved to finally get this and returned to Sur la Table. The salesperson told me that this happens and I should have rubbed oil on it. This has been 5 years and I’ve lost confidence in LC.
Should I try again?
@@gfw7061 oh man, sorry to hear that. That is really surprising. I have several dutch ovens, braisers, etc...and I think I only seasoned one of them and I've never had any rust. Maybe seasoning them is a good rule of thumb...it certainly won't hurt anything to do it.
Please help!!! I just bought the staub cast iron, is it need seasoning before use? Thanks
If it's the raw cast iron the answer is yes, but if its the Staub Enameled Cast Iron you don't need to season... tfw 😊
@@coreilove Thank you for replied. I bought the staub enamel cast iron, but the food was stuck on the pan. Please show me, what I have to do? Thanks for your help😊
@@minhngan3658 Hi minh ngan, i happened to have been looking at Staub's dutch ovens for a while, so when i saw your comment i knew there was a video from their UK office that you should find useful. th-cam.com/video/0MEQwlMX-O8/w-d-xo.html
Did you get any drips in the oven?
No I did not, but I'm old school even if I did my oven is lined with foil...😊 tfw
I did mine like this last time and now it's all nasty think I used to much oil. Any idea how to clean it before reseasoning it
A little Bar Keepers Friend should do, but use a light hand...tfw 😊
How often do we season the rims? Just the first time or after every use?
Well. I've had my dutch oven for about 2 months now. I didn't season it because there was not "rim" of bare metal showing on it. . It is working out great too!
There is ZERO reason to season the lip of the pot and cover.
Tramantino sucks, as they didnt cover the inside chipping under warranty, and said I used too high a temp.
Yes, the higher end enameled cast iron does not need any seasoning, but I do find they are making some of the lower end ones that you do not have to season, this video was based on The TRAMONTINA brand, my Le Creuset & Staub Enameled cook wear I do not do this process...tfw 😊
@@coreilove Have not done it on the Cuisine Art either. Its really not needed on any of them, unless you plan on cooking on the rim a lot :-)
What type of non abrasive green pad ? Please post a link to the green pads needed.
I don't know of any non abrasive green pads, I just use a regular one when needed, and a very light hand...tfw 😊
I see where people have different opinions about seasoning these. But obviously they are made differently because mine came with instructions that it must be seasoned before use!!
Yes your right, this particular brand says to season...tfw 😊
Should use a very very light thin coat of oil each time you season, first time use should be seasoned about four times give or take before first use. Using your finger is way too much oil to season just the edges, use a paper towel to just very lightly run on edge and you’ll eliminate those mess.
Do you season the inside?
No
Seasoning of raw cast iron I can understand, it is plain Iron open to atmosphere and water , so without oil you cannot prevent rust and oxidization.
Seasoning, oiling over enamel, which is baked paint over iron can be only to make your cookware shiny and slippery.
😊
I just wander why they dont just enamel all part of the pot incl the lid
Yes, a bit confusing….
Cuz that's where you're banging at all the time with the lid so it doesn't get chipped
There is no need to go through all this. After you use the dutch over, let it dry and clean it you can just wipe some cooking oil on rim of the pot (on the exposed cast iron). The oil acts as a barrier to prevent oxidation and rust.
I don't do this or what's suggested in this video and I have no issues with my food network dutch oven or great Jones Dutch oven. I'm not all about the upkeep needed for bare cast iron, it's high maintenance in my opinion.
Did you mention why you season it, or did i miss that part?
For this particular brand ( TRAMONTINA ) the manufacturer requires seasoning of the raw edge. Not all brands require this...tfw 😊
@@coreilove that seems so odd to me…. Hmmm
Why do you need to season the rim if you wash and dry it after each use?
Because for this ( not all ) particular brand ( TRAMONTINA ) the manufacturer says to do so...tfw 😊
@pajama mama's kitchen & more do have to do this after each use for Tramothina enameled cast iron pots?
@David Olukoya no sir...tfw 😊
How often should I season it?
As needed, it depends on your usage...tfw 😊
Scrubbing and dragging the iron lid and pot on the glass cook top made my skin crawl hahaha
I don't think I dragged the pot and lid too much but they are heavy, I did my best not to, as far as the scrubbing, I didn't really scrub, I used a very light hand to remove the stains...tfw 😊
I prefer to just warm the pan on a hob after washing, to remove moisture
If you don't mind me asking, what is a hob? I'm always interested in what other folks do... tfw 😊
@@coreilove hob is an British word for stove top
Why season the rim of the dutch oven? I just bought one.
Not all brands but for this particular brand, TRAMONTINA, the instructions says to do so...tfw 😊
@@coreilove ty
So this is when you store away your enameled cast iron pot, right? Not because you're prepping it before cooking?
Because I think there's a common misconception that people only season raw Cast iron when they store it away
No this was before initial use...tfw 😊
@@coreilove ah ok. But after you clean and dry it do you season it with a little oil before storing it or it's not necessary?
@lumnir its not necessary 😊
How often are you suppose to season your Enameled Cast Iron Dutch by Tramontina? Do you season it each time after you used it and wash it?
I seasoned my le Creuset enameled cast iron Dutch oven once, 20 years ago. Never had to do it again.
There is ZERO reason to season the lip of the pot and cover.
I just purchased the 2-set Dutch ovens (3.5 qt and 5.5 qt), and accdg to the manufacturer instructions: "For hard-to-clean, stuck-on foods, soak cookware in hot, soapy water and re-season as directed." To me, it sounds like it depends on what you are making, and more of a re-season as needed situation. Anyway, hope that helps.
What's the purpose in seasoning down in this is something you do to your unboxing before you actually use the Dutch oven
On this particular brand ( TRAMONTINA ) the rim is raw and requires it to be seasoned... per the instruction manual and their website...tfw 😊
This past Saturday I purchase a dutch oven from a thrift store but it had no instructions inside that's why I turned to TH-cam to try to gain some knowledge of what to do before you use it and how to clean it I am a cook and a baker and I have several kitchen Staples but this was a dream come true and then I Googled the Priceless 69.99 and I got for 12 bucks it's red it's beautiful
I’m a little confused. Why would this company not seal between coatings? And if there is a reason, how often does this need reseasoning? So, do some companies seal and this one doesn’t? Then, in the instructions that came with these pans it says never to heat them empty and then it tells you to season only the edge in a 350 oven for one hour (!) with nothing inside? Can anyone help me here or should I call the company?
That’s also what I am thinking . Did you call the company?
I just bought mine at Costco this morning and was about to season as directed, but I thought if the same issue when I read that never to heat or cook when empty…
@@techie3959 I never called but followed their recommendations after more research. It does seem to be a raw edge that needs sealing and 375 isn’t that high of a temp. I will reapply oil before cooking each time. Strange they didn’t seal it… maybe that’s why it’s cheaper 😆
Thanks for your reply. So I will just apply oil on the rims?
Hi, I've only seasoned in the oven 1 time, but I do rub a little oil on the edges after I wash them...tfw 😊
I just read that you DONT need to season a enameled cast iron pan. I’ve had my le creuset pan for a couple of months now and never had any problems with it.
This is not a Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron this is a TRAMONTINA Enameled Cast Iron, every brand is different, for this particular brand seasoning of the raw edge is required. I have Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron and I do not season...tfw 😊
I think the video title is wrong.
How to season cast iron rims in a Tramontina Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven.
Would be a proper one.
I wish I watched this before I put mine on the cook top! I think I ruined mine!
No you didn't, you can still season it... tfw 😊
i don't think you need seasoning, I've enamel cast iron from amazon basics or Le Creuset never seasoning, no rust, no ploblem, but you need to let the pot completely dry before you put it away.
This is neither one of those pots...but ok...tfw
Does not need to be seasoned, says it in the Le Creuset care instructions. That is the whole point.
Hello, hope you're doing well...I don't think you read the title of this video, this is not a Le Creuset Dutch Oven, this brand happens to be Tramontina and this brand requires the raw rim on the lid and the pot be seasoned. I do own some Le Creuset & Staub pieces that I do not season this way...tfw 😊
Excuse me but the folks at Lodge (been making cast iron cookware since 1896) say NEVER season enameled cast iron. That black rim is NOT bare cast iron ... that is matted enamel and should NEVER be seasoned ... you are ruining that Dutch oven ... I have been told that Staub says the same thing....
Hello there, I do have Lodge traditional cast iron that I've seasoned but do not have their enameled cast iron, but I do have Staub & Le Creuset enameled cast iron and your absolutely right, I don't season those, but for this particular brand ( TRAMONTINA ) it does need to be seasoned, this comes right from the company and the Use & Care Instructions provided with the cookware. Thank you for pointing this out so people know there is a difference. Most of the higher end brands you don't need to do this... tfw 😊
I just went on the Staub website and it states: We recommend before using your product for the first time to wash it with warm water and let it dry thoroughly. Brush a little vegetable oil to the inside of the surfaces of your product, heat at a low temperature and after a few minutes remove any excess oil. So…a gentle seasoning? That’s what I get from it. Martha Stewart says no seasoning needed for her enameled cast iron. Seems each brand has their preferences🤔
There is ZERO reason to season the lip of an enameled pot. The company can say what they want. If you dont want any discoloring of the pot due to not using it regularly, just brush in some oil I guess. But a reason...ZERO to maybe aesthetic if you dont use it much and its a bare metal. Many are already sealed with clear enamel.
I just purchased a Dutch oven, it came with instructions saying they recommend I season it EXACTLY like this video described. I'm confused now... 🥴
@@LatinaChapina83 you failed to mention if it has an enamel coating ... enamel should not be sessoned ... pure cast iron needs to be seasoned ... that is according to Lodge and Staub....
Enamel Dutch oven doesn’t need seasoning.
I have answered comments like this multiple times, if you like go through and read my explanation...tfw 😊
I am sorry but I would never season an enameled cast iron skillet with a light interior as the one in the video nor Le Creuset would ever recommend it. The only enameled cast iron skillet that could or should be seasoned is the interior of those pans that have a black enameled coating. Seasoning a light color interior would only in the end cause the oil to burn. Just add oil to the pan when you use it and that's it.
Well good thing for me this is not a Le Creuset or a Staub Dutch Oven, this is a more affordable brand called Tramontina, this particular brand calls for seasoning exactly how I did in the video, per the Instruction manual, customer care service, and the website. I did not film this video before doing my research and reading the literature that came with the Dutch Oven. I do have Le Creuset and Staub which I do not season...tfw 😊
I wouldn’t do this with enamel because in the book and doesn’t say to do this. Now the regular not enamel yes but not these!
I have know idea what book you're referring to, but in my booklet that came with the Dutch Ovens that I purchased from TRAMONTINA, it Does say to do so. The TRAMONTINA website says to do so. The TRAMONTINA customer service says to do so. The Manufacturer says to do so. I do not make blanket statements before I do my research. Now for my Le Creuset and Staub Enameled Cast Iron this process was not necessary...tfw 😊
WHY BOTHER IS MY ??? THE RIM ONLY!!!!! WHAT???? REALLY????? I COULD SEE THE FULL POT, BUT JUST THE RIM... SRY, NO
Because that's what the manufacturer of the pot said to do, it's the only raw cast iron thats not covered in enamel on the pot...tfw 😊
Wow, there's 10 minutes of my life, completely wasted. You never seasoned the enamle, you only seasoned the raw rim of the pot.
Your not supposed to season the enamel, only the raw rim, per the instructions from the Tramontina website and the manual. The enamel is already non stick...tfw 😊
