HOW TO SEASON
CAST IRON SKILLET
Is the seasoning of your skillet damaged?
Did you accidentally wash the product in the dishwasher?
Or did you not use it for a long time and it got rusty due to humidity?
​ ​Don't worry, here's the formula to reset your skillet
If you need to renew the seasoning of your cast iron skillet for any reason, you can follow the steps below:
-
If there is no rust on your skillet, wash and dry it well, and then season it with a thin layer of oil with a high smoke point (see recommended oils).
-
If there is rust on the inner or outer surface, first clean the affected area with sandpaper, then wash and dry the skillet well, and then season it with oil.
-
Before starting the seasoning process, heat the skillet on the stove for 2-3 minutes on medium heat, or place it in a preheated oven at 210 Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
-
Coat the skillet with a thin layer of oil with a high smoke point (see recommended oils), making sure to cover all surfaces.
-
Place the skillet in a preheated oven at 475 Fahrenheit with the inner surface facing down.
-
After one hour, turn off the oven, but leave the skillet inside without opening the door until it cools down.
-
You can repeat this process 2 or 3 times if desired to build up a good seasoning layer.
