Ingredients
- cast iron skillet
- crisco
Preparation
Step 1
Wash skillet in hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Apply a thin coating of melted shortening (crisco) or vegetable oil with a soft cloth or paper towel. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place skillet upside down on top oven rack. Place foil on a cookie sheet and place on bottom rack of oven. This will catch the drippings from the skillet. Bake in oven 1 hour. Turn oven off. Do not open. Allow skillet to cool down in oven (several hours).
Clean skillet after use while still warm with hot water and a plastic scrub brush. Do not put in dishwasher or wash with soap or dishwashing detergent.
Dry cast iron cookware thoroughly after washing, then spray lightly with vegetable oil. Wipe dry and store.
