If you don’t know how to set-up or properly prepare your new cast iron cookware for cooking, you’re not alone. Many methods have been presented over the years for seasoning and prepping a new cast iron pan. Of all the ways that have been suggested we’ve found one that works everytime, no matter what. And the best part is, all you need is your oven and some mineral oil or shortening.
You start by heating your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit while you’re washing your new pot with soap and a stiff brush. After the oven is hot enough you’ll want to completely coat the pan with oil or shortening. Put the pan in the oven for half an hour and remove it, wiping it clean, to remove any pooling oil. Put it back in for abotyher half hour and you’re done!
