Cast Iron Care

This is what works for ME
This is merely what I do

When I got my pans they needed to be cleaned of rust.
I did used soap (only this one time), then oil, then a metal brush.
Dried completely with towel, not air dry. (I never let it air dry)
Next I "seasoned" my pan.
I rubbed it with Crisco and baked it for an hour 400 degrees,
turned off oven, let pan cool in oven.

When I use it, I use some kind of oil, currently coconut oil.
I clean with warm water, then wipe it down with a light coat of oil.

I re-season it every few years, like when the coating it more sticky than non stick.
