Unbleached Paper TowelsI like to take special care when cleaning my pans. They are seasoned with olive oil, and in order to keep them naturally non-stick, after cooking I prefer to wipe the inside with one of Seventh Generation's Natural Paper Towels.

I do this while the pan is still warm. If some cooking residue remains, I run a little water into the pan and swish it around with the paper towel.

I like using our Natural Paper Towels for a number of reasons: they can be composted, they are tough enough to do the job without any soap, and I don't have to use a cloth that will need to be laundered.

Last but not least, I like that they are a natural (brown) color, meaning that an extra step wasn't used at the manufacturing level to whiten them.

Happy pan wiping!

Cast Iron- yay!

Why did it take me 43 years to discovered seasoned cast iron?? I love this stuff- usually I just wipe out, put in a teaspoon of oil, swipe around, and throw 'em back in the oven, and they cook better than any other pan! If I had a bunch of gunk in the bottom, I will soak the warm pan with plain water for a few minutes first, but that's all it ever takes! The old timers used to say, the uglier the pan, the better it works!

Spinkle a little bit of

Spinkle a little bit of baking soda in the pan with a small amount of water to make a thick paste, let sit about 5 mins. maybe longer if it is really bad and it washes away with ease.
