seasoning cast iron?

[larryours]

To keep order and the smell out of the kitchen, I have a gas burner, which I put a new skillet on and heat up. This burns off the protective glaze, once this is burnt off. Clean without detergent, a hand full of sand or sand paper will work, along with warm water. The seasoning opens pores in the cast iron, and a good coating of lard after each use will work well. After years and years of cooking with your cast iron skillet, it will build up a coat of non- stick coating better and healther than teflon. The food that is prepared in the cast iron skillet is fit for a king.
