Show Your Love for Reusable Bottles

Look Ma, No PFAS!

Every minute, more than one million plastic bottles of water are sold worldwide. Most become unrecycled plastic waste mere minutes or hours after they’re opened. And the bottled water industry wants us to buy more. We say NO! Join us in showing

your commitment to saying no to plastic bottled water by sharing a selfie of you and your trusty reusable water bottle while out and about.

Nonstick pans are popular, but most contain PFAS. A tried-and-true alterna- tive is a well-seasoned cast-iron pan. For people who need a refresher, here are steps to season or re-season your cast iron cookware :

Scrub — Scrub your pan with warm, soapy water. Rinse and immediately hand dry thoroughly with a cloth. Oil — Apply a thin, even layer of cooking oil to the inside and outside of your pan. Don't use too much oil, or your pan could become sticky. Bake — Place your pan in the oven upside down. Place a large baking sheet or alumi- num foil on the bottom rack. Bake at 450 – 500 degrees F for one hour. Allow to cool. Happy cooking!

To clean your cast-iron pan, wash it with a little bit of soap to scrub away food. (For stuck-on food, simmer water for 3 - 5 minutes, then use a food scraper after the pan has cooled.) Rinse and immediately hand dry thoroughly with a cloth. Rub a thin layer of cooking oil all over the pan. Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe away excess oil until no residue remains. *Instructions from Lodge Cast Iron.
