Season your cast iron skillet this way.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lower both oven racks to bottom positions-line lower rack with foil to catch drippings.
Wash skillet inside and out with mild detergent using a stiff brush.
Rince and towel dry.
Spread a thin coat of melted solid shortening all over skillet including handle (both inside and outside).
Place skillet on top rack.
Bake for 1 hour. Turn oven off and leave skillet in oven until cool.
Do not store lids on pots to all air curculation.
Do not wash skillet with soap or you will need to re-season.
Hope this helps....(Answered by badwarden) |

Need help cleaning cast iron skillet.?
My husband did't know that my favorite cast iron skillet was in the oven waiting to be cleaned. He turned on the oven to take the chill off of the house one morning. Anyway, now everything is baked onto the skillet. I can't seem to get it off. Any suggestions on how to the baked stuff off of my favorite pan? I've tried boiling it out. Some of it has come out. Just not what has been baked onto the bottom.
Everyone's answers were really good & helpful. I can't choose which one ... (Asked by countrygal64)

You are going to have to get the old elbow grease going and get a good cleaner like that Bam easy off stuff.

How to remove plastic bag stuck to skillet?
I accidentally touched a plastic english muffin bag to the bottom of a really hot skillet and the plastic stuck to the bottom. I can scrape some of it off but not much. Is there a better way to remove it than just buring it off and smelling up the place and potentially setting off my fire alarm? Is my skillet toast?

If the bag is stuck on the outside you have a chance. WARM the skillet so that the plastic softens then scrape as much as possible off. Scrub some more and hopefully that will do it. You can find solvents such as Goo Gone that may work, depending on the type of coating (if any) you have on your skillet. If the bag is on the inside I would consider tossing it. Do not use solvents unless you can find something specifically for pots and pans.
If you do burn off the plastic try to do it outside if you ...(Answered by swimmom) |

Scrub, scrub, scrub with steel wool. Finish with dishwashing liquid and cloth or sponge. Rinse and dry well. Don't worry if a few particles remain.
Now, grease the entire inside generously. You can use lard, Crisco, vegetable oil, margarine, whatever. Place skillet in 200 degree oven for a couple of hours. Remove, cool, wipe off any excess gently with a paper towel.
Now the secret to using your skillet is never to wash it again. You have successfully "seasoned" it. You can use Pam, olive oil or whatever when you cook in it, but when you are finished, just wipe with ...(Answered by Islander) |

Sounds as though you need to "season" your skillet....Warm your oven to about 250 degrees.Take a paper towel and rub the entire pan with a good vegatable oil or olive oil.Put it in the oven and let it bake for about 2 hours.After it cools wipe it clean.Remember to only wash your skillet with soap and water.Never in the dish washer.Good Luck! I know this works.Ihave several.Peace!...(Answered by bamahotT) |
