My pan smells after cooking. What's wrong?

Residual food particles cause odors. Clean with warm soapy water (if necessary), dry thoroughly, and apply a thin oil layer. Re-season if the smell persists.

How do I remove rust from my cast iron pan?

Light rust: Scrub gently with steel wool or fine sandpaper, then wash with warm water (no soap), dry thoroughly, and re-season by applying a thin oil layer and heating until smoking.

Severe rust: Soak in a 1:1 white vinegar and water solution for 1–2 hours, scrub rust off, rinse, dry completely, and re-season multiple times.

Prevention: Always dry the pan thoroughly after cleaning, apply a thin oil layer, and store in a dry place.
