Some simple rules that help me in caring and storing my Dutch ovens.

 

Rule #1

Never put away your Dutch oven dirty.

Rule #2

Never put away your Dutch oven wet.

Rule #3

Put a light coating of seasoning on your Dutch oven while it’s warm from cleaning.

Rule #4

Air circulation prevents a rancid Dutch oven. Store with the lid off or ajar.

Rule #5

Store your Dutch ovens in the house where the humidity is balanced.

Rule #6

Rotate your Dutch oven when selecting one for a meal. That one in the corner all dusting is going bad on you!
