Maintenance of your Challenger Pan is easy with the help of the Challenger Cast Iron Care Kit, which has the three key tools to help you keep your pan looking brand new:
\<ol\>
 	\<li\>The Bamboo Brush has stiff bristles to sweep away any crumbs, flour, or dried food\.\</li\>
 	\<li\>The Chainmail Scrubber removes any stubborn spots of food debris, or superficial rust\.\</li\>

Warm Proof: Choosing The Right Rise For Your Sourdough](https://challengerbreadware.com/article/cold-proof-vs-warm-proof-choosing-the-right-rise-for-your-sourdough/): One of the easiest ways to change the flavor, texture, and timing of your sourdough bread is the temperature at which you proof it\. Bakers generally choose between warm proofing \(room temperature\) and cold proofing \(in the refrigerator\)\. Both work beautifully, it just depends on the results you'd like\.
