Some cast-iron products come pre-seasoned ( Lodge logic) but many need to be seasoned/reseasoned over time in order to maintain the no-stick surface and avoid marking product.
To season a cast iron product:
- Clean product well and dry completely
- Coat surface that needs to be seasoned with a thin layer of vegetable oil or shortening
- Place item upside down in a 375-degree oven and bake for 1 hour cool in the oven
Proper maintenance of your cast iron cookware will allow for optimum performance and product release and help avoid discolor marks on baked product.
