I just did this OMg it worked I didn’t think it would honestly but it got the job done now off to season Ann💪🏽🙌🏾💗

According to the Food Network- Rub the Pan with a Thin Film of Neutral Oil
First, using a paper towel, coat the pan with a neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil (including the bottom and handle of the pan). Wipe away all excess oil so no pooling oil is visible — the oil should just coat the metal. The pan should feel practically dry to the touch. Using too much will cause your pan to become sticky
2. Bake the Pan for 1 Hour
Bake upside down in the oven at 350 degrees F for 1 hour (line the rack below with foil to catch any oil drips). This will protect the surface and give it an almost nonstick quality.

Not 350 but more like 450 to 500 for an hour and do it 2 or 3 times

I quoted inside the pan with a thick layer of baking soda for a few hours, then filled it with white vinegar - soak overnight. Used a scrub daddy, rinse a few times, season and bake @ 400 for an hr.

How do you store this cast iron with oil all over it?
I know you soak up most of the oil but it’s still greasy

[AshockaBlack]

Can you just wash with detergent orxis that not good?

This is crazy! The many uses of our pantry staples are amazing. I would have never thought to use a potato and I'm a person who's used them for boils.

[deathcloan]

Just use a paper towel, the potato is unnecessary

dont follow this. you can end up with a gummy, sticky skillet. I followed these instructions, and now have a sticky pan im working to fix.

be sure to fully dry the skillet after rinsing off the salt (this requires heat). then, season the heated skillet with a SMALL AMOUNT of oil. Season the ENTIRE PAN, not just the cooking surface part she shows here. then, WIPE OFF ALL THE EXCESS before baking it.

NEVER use vegetable oil! Use beef tallow or extra virgin olive oil!
