How do you season your cast iron skillet?

[jhope98]

I’ve heard so many different ways to season a cast iron skillet, and I’m still a bit confused. What’s your go-to method? Do you use oil or something else?

Hi. you might want to try this method. First, clean the skillet, using soap if needed, to ensure there is no food residue left on it. Then, dry thoroughly. Next is, spread a thin layer of melted shortening or vegetable oil over the skillet using a silicone pastry brush, or a lint-free cloth or paper towel. Lastly, put the skillet upside down on the middle rack of a cold oven. Hope that helps!
