Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lower both oven racks to bottom positions-line lower rack with foil to catch drippings.
Wash skillet inside and out with mild detergent using a stiff brush.

Bake for 1 hour. Turn oven off and leave skillet in oven until cool.
Do not store lids on pots to all air circulation.

Answer 4

Every ten years or so I take my Mom's old 12" cast iron frying pan camping with me. I get my fire going, then just toss it in. All the crap burns off it, and out of it. Be careful when you take it out of the fire; it might be really hot!

Then, before you use it again, it needs to be seasoned. Get the pan warm and then, using a paper towel, rub corn or olive oil into the pan. You might do this twice. Do the outside and bottom, too. If you don't season the pan, it'll rust on you. You don't want that to happen.

Good Luck!
