If your cast iron is used, the surface must be free of heavy dirt or rust. There are cleaning methods to remove excessive rust or dirt depending on the material that stuck on the cookware surface. After ensuring that the surface is clean, the seasoning process can be started based on the following procedure.
1. Apply a thin layer of fat ( shortening, lard or oil high in saturated fat)
2. Put the cookware up side down in an oven heated to 425degF for one to two hours. There must be an aluminum foil under the cookware to catch the excess oil that has melted off. The excess oil can contaminate the oven.
3. After turning off the oven, let the cookware remain inside to cool down.
4. Use or store the cookware.
Seasoning is an easy and simple way to preserve the cookware and maintain an easy cooking experience for a long time.
