1. Wash cast iron by hand with a nylon bristle scrub brush.
2. Dry promptly and thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
3. Heat to 250-300 degrees F (on stove top or oven). This opens up the pores in the cast iron allowing oil to penetrate and create non-stick surface.
4. Season the cookware by rubbing with a very light layer of olive oil and hang or store the cookware in a dry place. If stacking skillets, place paper towels between them to prevent scratching non-stick surface.
5. Seasoning the cookware both inside and outside after each use will prevent rust from forming and continue to build a non-stick cooking surface.
