seasoning cast iron?

[Mil Dot]

These days most of the cast iron skillets in the stores are preseasoned and ready to go. The main thing is to remember to go easy on the cleaning, mild detergent and light scouring. Then a light coat of oil. The best thing for cast iron is frequent use. You'll start understanding the seasoning concept if you see a pan that has been used a ton.

Old school is rock salt in the pan fill with cooking oil, place in oven @ 325 for 45 min., turn off oven till cool & repeat the cycle 2 or 3 times.
