There are two ways to maintain the seasoning on your cast iron skillet.
The easiest way is to cook with it. Every time you cook with oil, you're potentially adding another layer to the seasoning.
When you cook acidic foods, use excessive heat, or scrub your pan with abrasive utensils or scouring pads, it may remove some of the seasoning. Therefore, it is important to follow our simple cleaning steps to maintain the seasoning for quality cooking. After each use, rub oil into your pan to ensure that the seasoning remains intact.
Did you know that you can improve the seasoning of your cast iron cookware by seasoning it in the oven?
This method ensures that the entire pan has a thorough layer of seasoning which strengthens the bond to the iron. It's advisable to season your cast iron in the oven a few times a year to keep it in great condition. We recommend oven-seasoning when restoring a rusty cast iron pan.
Step 1 Scrub your pan
Scrub the pan with warm, soapy water; it's fine to use soap since you're preparing to re-season the cookware. Rinse and dry thoroughly by hand.
Step 2 Apply oil
Apply a thin, even layer of oil inside and outside the cookware. Using too much oil can cause stickiness.
Step 3 Bake for 1 hour
Place the cookware upside down in the oven on a large baking sheet or aluminum foil on the bottom rack. Bake at 450-500 degrees F for one hour and let cool.
