This is how I do it. Start by scrubbing with a SOS pad rinse well, place it in the stove top to dry it completely, then heat it in hi for 15-20 minutes. When time is up I put about 2 tsp of vegetable oil in the pan and rub it around with a paper towel ( be careful not to burn yourself). I have done this for 15 years and it work every time. I usually do it after about every 10 uses and nothing sticks.

Remove any food residue by cleaning the pan thoroughly with hot water and a scouring pad. I understand that heating the pan first to a temperature that is still safe to touch helps open the pores of the metal and makes it easier to clean.
Dry the pan immediately with dish towel or paper towel.
Heat the oven to 250o - 300o
Coat the pan with lard or bacon grease. Don't use a liquid vegetable oil because it will leave a sticky surface and the pan will not be properly seasoned.
Put the pan in the oven. In 15 minutes, remove the pan & pour out any excess grease. Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 2 hours.

Use a Brillo steel wool pad and scrub. Then, dry on the stove. Coat liberally with SHORTENING, not oil, and bake in the oven (put a baking sheet foil lined under it if there is shortening on the outside) and bake at 250 degrees F for about an hour. It will stink so open a window or use a strong exhale fan.

ok, you will possibly desire to bathe the skillet, then enable's initiate throughout. because of the fact it is tousled, merely clean it besides the undeniable fact which you will. Now you will possibly desire to season it propery so no longer something will stick. A forged iron skillet might desire to look vivid whilst that's pro. To season: Coat comprehensive interior and facets of skillet with shortening or veggie oil. put in 30 degree oven for 2 hours. enable it cool. Repeat technique returned. After the 2d time enable the skillet sit down in one day. day after as we communicate if it is not vivid, then repeat the technique returned. as quickly as that's pro do no longer placed water on it. merely wipe clean after it has cooled somewhat (yet remains heat) with a gentle fabric. that's it. No cleansing soap, no water.

Scrub it well, oil it and bake it for at least 20 minutes.
Cooking oil, not the other kind
