Clean it Regularly

Cleaning cast iron after ach use is ideal to prevent rust and maintain a nonstick coating. Because cast iron tends to absorb flavors easily, it also helps ensure that the next dish you make won't taste like the one prior.

How to season cast iron cookware

Cast lron Seasoning

"Seasoning" cast iron protects the cookware from rust and creates a natural non-stick surface. Process works by coating cast iron in cooking oil and heating it up past the smoke point until the fat polymerizes. When fat polymerizes, it turns from liquid into a slick, hard solid that the porous iron cookware absorbs creating a nonstick surface.

Virtually any type of cooking oil can be used to season cast iron but keep in mind that oils with strong flavors, like avocado or sesame seed oil, may subsequently flavor your cookware and the foods you prepare in it. Many people like to use a basic vegetable or canola oil because they're affordable, easy to find, and have a neutral flavor profile. Whichever oil you use, be sure to heat your pan past the oil's smoke point so polymerization occurs.
