Do you love cooking with your cast-iron cookware! I know I do! If you are new to cast-iron, it can be a little intimidating when it is time to do the dishes. We put together these 5 tips to help you care for your cookware and get the best out of your investment! I wish I had know these sooner!

Wash cast iron by hand, not in the dishwasher.
If you have you have cast-iron cookware, chances are you use it a lot. In fact, cast-iron gets better the more you use it! But with that use you will inevitably get dirty and need washed. DO NOT put your cast-iron cookware in the dishwasher! It could break your dishwasher and ruin your cookware. Always wash it by hand! You can use mild soap and water to get it nice and clean.

Use course salt to help get rid of stuck on food particles.
In that same vein, you can use salt as a scrub to get rid of stuck on food particles. Pour a little bit of salt in your pan with some warm water and scrub the pan with the salt. You will be amazed at what all this will get out!

Dry immediately.
We cannot stress this enough. Standing water or water of any kind can ruin your plan as it will cause it to rust. After your wash your pan make sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent this.

Season it well and often.
The seasoning on your cast-iron skillet can make make or break your skillet. The seasoning on your skillet projects it and keeps it heating evenly for years to come! Here is a great tutorial on how to do it.

Don’t start cold.
Cast-iron is great when it is hot. Not so much when it is cold. Adding ingredients to your when it is hot will help them not stick while locking in flavor!

Are you ready for the upcoming Solar Eclipse?

In just one week, we will experience a total Solar Eclipse on Monday, August 21! The eclipse will begin in Oregon around 1:15 pm EST (10:15 am PDT) and travel across 14 states. Stretching from Oregon all the way to South Carolina for an amazing experience. According to NASA, the whole continent will experience a partial eclipse lasting 2-3 hours. The eclipse will be most prevalent along the path illustrated in the link above. About halfway through the eclipse, anyone in the approximately 70-mile-wide path from Oregan to South Carolina will experience a short TOTAL eclipse. This means that the moon will completely block the sun’s light from reaching earth for up to 2 minutes and 40 seconds. It will turn day into night for this brief period and make the sun’s outer atmosphere visible. Stars and other planets will become visible during this time because of the eclipse!

Plan ahead so you can get a great view!

Take your pick on where you would like to go. While you will experience the phenomenon throughout the entire country, some locations will experience the full effects. Join one of the many festivals, gatherings, and parties across the country on 8/21 to experience the Solar Eclipse to its full potential. Huge crowds of people will be flocking to popular areas, so make sure you plan ahead and know where you are going. Because 8/21 falls on a Monday, you will want to take off of work in advance. If you live near the path of the total eclipse, you will be able to stay at your house and still get a great view. Wherever you go make sure that your location is absolutely in line with the eclipse. It would be terrible to travel all that way and not experience the total eclipse. This phenomenon is worth traveling a few hours out of your way to view! Click here to see an interactive map of areas in the path of the eclipse.

Do you know what to expect?

You can find a multitude of information online about the upcoming eclipse. Do your research before 8/21 so you can know what to expect. Turn this into a teaching opportunity for the kids too. They will have plenty of time to learn about this natural phenomenon as you do research together. A few websites we recommend are Vanderbilt University’s Dyer Observatory, NASA, and the Great American Eclipse. You can also download the iPhone or Android app to your fun to keep up with the eclipse. Fun fact, the last time a total Solar Eclipse crossed the United States from Washington State to Florida was June 8th, 1918! That was almost 100 years ago! Don’t pass up this opportunity to teach your kids about such a rare event!

Watch smartly with safety glasses!

If you are planning to watch the Solar Eclipse, make sure you have the right safety gear! Protect your eyes from serious damage when looking directly at the eclipse. Not all “eclipse glasses” are safe. NASA recommends using eye protection that is distinctly labeled with the “ISO” Icon with reference 12312-2 on the glasses. You should buy your glasses from a trusted safety company such as American Paper Optics, Baader Planetarium (AstroSolar Silver/Gold film only), Rainbow Symphony, Thousand Oaks Optical, and TSE 17. We also found some great prices on Amazon for safety glasses that meet these safety requirements. Choose from an individual pair of glasses + camera filter or save money by buying them in bulk. Hurry and grab your glasses before they sell out! Click Here to see NASA’s safety tip page for more information. Sunglasses are NOT enough protection for the eclipse! If you happen to be within the path of totality, it is ONLY safe to remove your solar filters when the moon completely covers the sun’s face. Once the sun reappears, you must replace your solar viewers for protection. Help your family stay safe during this fun event!

Now you know…

Now that you and your family are ready for adventure, don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime event! Let us know what other great ideas you have for celebrating the total eclipse. We would love to hear about what great things you all have planned. Remember to plan ahead, be prepared, and stay safe!
