How do I clean the sticky oil from my cast iron skillet?

If your cast iron pan is sticky, you will need to place the pan on top of the stove. Turn the heat on high for 30 seconds to less than one minute. Then, turn it down to medium heat. This will loosen up the oil. Then, you'll need to buff out the creases and the spots. Place a little oil in the pan, approximately 1 tablespoon. Spread the oil around with a paper towel. Continue smoothing the pan. You may need to get a new paper towel, if it gets to hot. This often happens, when too much oil is applied to a pan, when you are seasoning it. When that oil heats and dries, it distorts the pan.

Use your ovens self cleaning mode and burn off the oil and wipe it down with Crisco.

Lard for seasoning(can handle higher heat) I use chain mail scrubbers & hot water saves seasoning on my cast iron cookware it works really well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLXEhnZMHQU here he is again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AefDKZ1ArnQ Another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB09W-0vFTE Amazon has the dbl link https://www.amazon.com/Cusfull-Premium-Stainless-Chainmail-Scrubber/dp/B01H1AQGVI/ref=asc_df_B01H1AQGVI/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167152462925&hvpos=1o5&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1587052524506140751&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030040&hvtargid=pla-305941095488&psc=1
