Wife said after washing it put some oil in it. She uses olive oil. Put in the oven on a low heat for some time. Said its a long process. takes more then one time. Hope that helps.

After the initial burn every time you clean it heat it up and wipe it down with oil. Like Gordon says it takes time but it's well worth the effort.Thank you G.

Can't never member everything all to once. If food sticks to it, for cleaning I always heat it and add water. It deglazed the pan and all you need do is wipe it out. I try not to use soap on mine.

Once you have it cured clean it with oil and coarse salt and a paper towel. Never use soap and water.

Eastern, recently I brought three of my grandmother's skillets out of retirement and reconditioned them after some internet research. First thing, I ran them through the self clean cycle in the oven. Second, scrubbed well with course salt I keep for smoking meats and a potato cut in half. No non food item or oven cleaner involved. Then I warmed at 200 degrees for twenty minutes, applied seasoning with a paper towel, and returned to the oven at 350 for three hours. They came out great and I can now use them regularly. I have always warmed and reseasoned after every use. If they do stick, boil on the stovetop a few minutes and they clean right up. Hope this helps.

Thanks to all.
My wife hates them I am the opposite.
She got her electric stove instead of the gas one I wanted.
When she is doin the cooking she uses the teflon donware.
I use the cast she keeps washing it I keep trying to keep it seasoned.

My wife hates them as well so I store them in the garage and bring them in for my use. However recently she has been very ill and I am now doing all the cooking. She tested anemic on a recent blood test and I know using cast iron can help restore iron. Therefore the decision to seriously recondition and move them into the kitchen.

Sorry to hear of the reason, hope she gets better soon.
I take an iron supplement every day.
Favorite skillet full of crappie.
