    I just got screwed over when my UDR failed after 2.5 years and they refuse to do anything about it because it is just out of warranty. Their tech support admitted it was a hardware failure but they are refusing to replace it.

    I’d be really wary about investing in their hardware. I never had something break on me so soon.

    Best of luck out there.


  • There is so much wrong information in this thread. It’s insane.

    Just scrape all the buildup off the pan with a plastic scraper. Lodge makes one. Do this under hot water. Scrape it as clean as possible and rinse it. Your goal is not to remove the patina. Think of it as scraping everything smooth. Feel the surface with your fingers. If it feels smooth you are good. There may still be an oily residue. Rince off as much as you can; the rest is fine. Never use soap. Remember, oil is good for the pan. If for some reason you need to remove oil just wipe it off. Anyways, put it back on the stove and heat it over med/low heat until dry. This will not cause rust. This dries it quickly and prevents rust. Now that your pan is hot and dry, add a tsp of oil and rub a thin layer all over with a paper towel. Paper towel bits will not hurt you or the pan. The oil will add to the season and prevent rusting. Use only enough oil to make the pan shiny.

    I’ve done this for years and it works fantastic.

    Hope this helps. I love cast iron. Good cookin!
