Your Griswold Dutch Oven

Seasoning Your Griswold Dutch Oven

The highest quality collectible iron cookware (dutch ovens) are by Griswold and Wagner (Wagner purchased Griswold, hence Griswold and Wagner). All kinds of stuff has been published on the various makers of cast iron cookware (including Dutch Ovens). There are even books on how to appraise them available.

While it’s a rarity that you run across a Griswold Dutch Oven in a store, you can still find them from time to time in antique shops, thrift stores and even the occasional garage sale! And the best thing of all is that they can be found for a fraction of what they’re worth.

If you are looking for one online, the best place to start is eBay.

ANTIQUE GRISWOLD #7 TITE TOP BASTER DUTCH OVEN - THIS ONE IS A COLLECTOR'S DREAM

Griswold Dutch Ovens should be prepped before use, because these items are often bought used and come rusty or with the patina completely worn off.

So, before you use your new cast iron pot, you’ll have to wash the iron pot throughly, then make sure you dry it properly. Then you take a clean rag that you dunk in basic vegetable oil (canola oil works too) which you then wipe the whole pot with.

Once the oil has been applied, you need to heat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and put your Griswold Dutch Oven in there (bottom facing up) for about an hour. Take it out and allow it to cool down in a safe spot.

Now it’s been “seasoned”.

Also in regards to day to day use of the pot, they recommend that you not use soap or other detergents when cleaning it… just wash it and scrub it down. If necessary apply some oil to it before you store it (to prevent rust to build up).
