How to season cast iron pan
I was hoping someone could give me some instruction on how to reseason my cast iron pan. Last night I had a big brainy idea. I thought since I had to clean my oven anyway I would kill 2 birds with one stone and I stuck in my cast iran pan in the oven. :p. LOL. That was a bad move. When I took out the pan all the stuff had flaked off and the pan had to more coating. So today I slathered the pan with vacatable shortening and left it in the oven at 300 for about 3 hours. When It was cooled off I repeated the procedure because the pan was only brown, not black. This time it was darker but I noticed that there was a really sticky, gummy coating on the inside. I did scrub out the sticky stuff. Now this time I would like to do it right. Any suggestions?
