Using Brass Cookware for the First Time

Initial Cleaning

Before using your brass cookware, it’s essential to clean it thoroughly. Start by washing it with mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft sponge to remove any manufacturing residues. After washing, rinse it well and dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Seasoning

To prepare your brass cookware for cooking, you’ll need to season it. Begin by applying a thin layer of cooking oil, such as vegetable oil or ghee, to the inside surface of the cookware. Place the cookware on the stove over medium heat and let it heat until the oil starts to smoke lightly, which should take about 10-15 minutes. Afterward, turn off the heat and let the cookware cool down naturally. Once cool, wipe off any excess oil. Repeating this process a couple of times will help create a non-stick surface and enhance the cookware's performance.
