How to Season a Cast Iron Skillet: Traditional vs. Lazy Methods
Traditional Seasoning Method: A Strong Foundation
If you’re ready to go the extra mile, the traditional seasoning method ensures a durable, non-stick surface.
- Clean the Skillet: Wash with warm water and a bit of soap to remove any residues.
- Dry Thoroughly: Use a towel and place it over low heat to evaporate moisture completely.
- Apply Oil: Coat with a thin layer of vegetable or grapeseed oil, covering every surface.
- Buff It: Wipe away excess oil to avoid sticky residue.
- Bake It: Place upside down in an oven at 450°F for 30 minutes. Repeat 2-4 times for a robust seasoning layer.
Lazy Method: Season as You Cook
If time isn’t on your side, regular use of the skillet will naturally enhance its seasoning.
- Cook fatty foods like bacon or burgers to let natural oils create a protective layer.
- Clean gently with warm water after use, avoiding soaking or harsh detergents.
- Lightly oil the skillet after drying for consistent upkeep.
Pre-Seasoned Convenience
The Greeny Pure Cast Iron Skillet arrives pre-seasoned, allowing you to start cooking right away. The vegetable oil coating prevents rust and enhances non-stick properties.
Natural Non-Stick Performance
Through high-temperature baking, grease bonds with the iron’s surface, creating a smooth, natural non-stick layer. Unlike synthetic coatings, this non-stick surface improves with use, especially when you cook on lower heat settings.
Superior Heat Retention and Moisture Locking
iGOZO’s heavy-gauge cast iron construction ensures even heat distribution and excellent retention. The integrated spike bubble design on the lid condenses steam back into moisture, keeping your food tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked.
