Cast iron (seasoned)

Seasoning is a layer of baked-on oil that forms a protective layer. The result of the seasoning process is the black film that envelopes your pan. Maintaining the seasoning is achieved through cooking in oils and fats, or re-seasoning if the seasoning begins to wear. Re-seasoning your pan involves the following steps: 1. Scrub the pan with warm, soapy water. It's okay to use soap since you're preparing to re-season the cookware. Rinse and hand dry thoroughly; 2. apply a very thin, even layer of cooking oil (use an oil with a high smoking temperature for the best result) to the cookware (inside and out). If you use too much oil, your cookware may become sticky; and 3. Place the cookware in the oven upside down. Place a large baking sheet or aluminum foil on the bottom rack. Bake at 230 - 260 degrees C for one hour. Allow to cool.

Washing your seasoned cast iron pan involves the following 3 steps: 1. Wash your cast iron cookware by hand. You can use a small amount of soap. If needed, use a pan scraper for stuck on food. For stubborn, stuck-on food, simmer a little water for 3-5 minutes, then use the scraper after the pan has cooled; 2. Dry promptly and thoroughly with a lint-free cloth or paper towel. If you notice a little black residue on your towel, it's just seasoning and is perfectly normal; and 3. Rub a very light layer of cooking oil (use an oil with a high smoking temperature for the best result) onto the surface of your cookware. Use a paper towel to wipe the surface until no oil residue remains.
