To prevent cast iron cookware from rusting during storage, you need to follow a few simple conditions:

1. CLEAN.
Only clean cookware with no food residue should be left in storage.

2. DRY .
Before storing the pan, make sure there is no moisture on the surface of the pan. Moisture will cause it to rust.

3. VENTILATION
There should be good ventilation where you store your cast iron cookware.

4. OIL SEASONING
We recommend oiling your pots and pans with vegetable oil before you put them away, especially if you live in a climate with high humidity. If you need to put your cookware away for a long time, it's better to wrap them in a cloth soaked in oil.

Remember, the way you store your cast iron cookware determines how long it will last.
