How do you cure or season a new cast iron skillet?
I want to buy a new cast iron skillet, but need to know which brand is best, how you tell a good one from a not so good one and how to cure it before use. Also which brands to look for or to stay away from. Thank you.
1. Heat the oven to 250o - 300o
2. Coat the pan with lard or bacon grease. Don't use a liquid vegetable oil because it will leave a sticky surface and the pan will not be properly seasoned.
3. Put the pan in the oven. In 15 minutes, remove the pan & pour out any excess grease. Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 2 hours.
Repeating this process several times is recommended as it will help create a stronger "seasoning" bond.
Also, when you put the pan into service, it is recommended to use it initially for foods high in [animal] fat, such as bacon or foods cooked with fat, because the grease from these foods will help strengthen the seasoning.'
As for brand names, the only one I know of that is good if not the best quality, is LODGE.
