Seasoning

• Stoneware seasons over time, like a cast iron Dutch oven or other cast iron cooking utensil such as a skillet. This means food does not stick to the stoneware, and no oil or cooking spray is required. When you first use a piece of stoneware, the surface feels rough and is lightly colored. As you use the stoneware and it becomes seasoned, it will become smooth and slick and get darker, eventually turning black.
