Seasoning Is The Spice They Like

Cast iron cookware that has been properly seasoned is the original non stick cookware.

We don’t use a range of typical oils because of health concerns although I don’t think ‘Seasoning’ your pan will adversely affect your health as cooking with the wrong oils can.

  1. Coat the cookware with a thin layer of oil (we use Rice Bran or Coconut).
  2. Place in the oven for 30 to 60 minutes at 300 – 500 degrees upside down with something underneath to catch the dripping oil.
  3. Repeat several times initially and periodically depending upon the amount of use.

Recycled Cookware

If you find old cast iron skillets and pots at yard sales or stuffed away in attacks inspect them for cracks and chips. The best place to recycle older cast iron cookware is in your kitchen.

While buying new cast iron cookware isn’t expensive age doesn’t diminish their value. If the cookware is intact just go through the seasoning steps and it’ll work like new.
