The purpose of this article from ibelieveicanfry.com  is to walk you through the steps to re-season any old cast iron pan.  As long as there are no nicks and cracks, no matter how much gunk or rust, you can get it like new! The best way to quickly build up a good layer of seasoning on cast iron? Use it! Cook as many meals as possible in your cast iron. It will thank you with years of use and provide you with an heirloom piece of cookware to pass down to another generation.

I LOVE cooking with cast iron, it’s the most longest serving piece in my kitchen! They distribute heat evenly, can stand up to almost any abuse, and will last for many years! I usually seek out cast iron cookware in poor shape; neglected, rusty, and coated with years of caked-on burned food and seasoning (No I’m not crazy!) Because luckily, these pieces can be fully restored for just a few dollars, a bit of elbow grease and patience! If things stick – the pan has not been properly seasoned! Click the link below to find out more and to try it for yourself…..
