[{"selector":"#anim-809f4b0f-7e9f-4351-80c0-bf5b44f75b69 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7e93bb51-a817-4da5-9d93-2c58b23f5763","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c2d0ae0a-231f-48f9-a442-afafcc966beb","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Cast Iron

[{"selector":"#anim-2a4e7b04-3cdc-4c09-837b-f2adc58ffcdc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bc181a61-4ef1-403d-aceb-b8bab8e46fec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2fe7557e-1893-4bda-8651-e6deee3bffb2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-327c0304-feb7-4e61-9473-a65395583277","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 166.85183%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Cast Iron can last a lifetime if treated well. Remember to always be gentle, and to season and dry it thoroughly every use.

Soapstone

[{"selector":"#anim-d212aab6-8fe2-481b-8ebb-c5ac60af3c8c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-190d6f93-74aa-40c1-8b1a-23f4e4e0eed4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aa7a50c8-580c-45d6-a27b-65addd8429f2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-04f2837e-6fa4-4838-be43-1c578ae5ddba","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 206.41471%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Since Soapstone can absorb detergents, it should only ever be cleaned with water and a damp cloth.

Bronze

[{"selector":"#anim-0e7cac5b-10a0-4a4e-af41-22c95fc12261 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e2a65c60-ab75-49d1-8d41-4e5facec984e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8908eaf8-c0c5-4f8a-855a-57e44d3f9b5a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5a6d8e94-d807-4053-82df-f0eb26a50aab","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 282.00323%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Avoid anything abrasive since it can easily scuff the surface and you'll lose the signature shine.

Clay

[{"selector":"#anim-b32914d0-ba6d-4c25-84f1-4fe9e10be188 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f5d5359c-a7cc-44e7-8eea-beb19bee6b36","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08e35b7f-e49a-457f-9fe4-9a8dd576b7f2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-37f90b3d-04a3-4600-8a20-64aca5de1358","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 282.00323%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Clay is very porous and needs to be dried thoroughly after every wash to avoid mould.
