How to Clean and Season a Cast Iron Skillet
As a manufacturer of personalized cast iron skillet, this article will take you deeper into Chinese cast iron pans from two perspectives: how to clean them and how to season them.
How Do I Clean My Cast-Iron Skillet?
When you clean your skillet, never use dish soap because it can strip the pan's seasoning (ditto a cycle in the dishwasher or using a steel-wool scrubber). Instead, scrub your cast iron with a stiff brush and hot water, then wipe dry with a towel or set the pan over medium-low heat until completely dry.
How Do I Season a Cast-Iron Skillet?
A cast-iron pan has a thin layer of seasoning which is vegetable oil or flaxseed oil that's bonded to the metal to create a slick cooking surface. It can last a while, so you don't have to re-season it every time you cook, but when you cook with acidic foods, it can break down that layer. A well-seasoned cast-iron pan is virtually nonstick, so it's worth taking the time to season (or re -season if your pan was pre-seasoned) correctly. If you have a new skillet or an old one you want to rehab, the method is the same:
Cover the bottom of the pan with a thick layer of kosher salt.
Add about 1/2 inch of cooking oil and place over high heat.
When the oil reaches the smoke point, pour the salt and oil into a heatproof bowl to cool before discarding.
Using a ball of paper towels, rub the inside of the pan until smooth.
Your skillet is now seasoned!
