Before using your new skillet pan for the first time, wash in warm water, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a tea towel before seasoning. Avoid soaking or using harsh, high-alkaline detergents, abrasive cleaners and scrubbing pads.
For a perfectly seasoned cast iron pan
1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius.
2. Wash the pan with hot water and a scrub brush to remove any dirt or debris. Rinse the pan well and dry it completely.
3. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil or melted shortening to the pan, including the handle and the outside surface.
4. Place the pan upside down on the top oven rack and bake it for 1 hour (add a sheet of aluminum foil on the rack below to catch any drips)
5. Turn off the oven and allow the pan to cool completely in the oven.
6. Wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel.
Your pan is now seasoned and ready to use! To maintain the seasoning, it's important to always clean the pan with hot water and a scrub brush (no soap), and to dry it thoroughly before storing it. You can also reapply a thin layer of oil to the pan before storing it to help maintain the seasoning.
When will you know if it’s time to re-season? If your food starts to sticks to the surface and your skillet begins to lose its smooth, shiny appearance.
