How to Season Bayou Classic Cast Iron Cookware: (Although Bayou Classic Cast Iron is preseasoned, many people still inquire about how to season cast iron)

The major advantage of bayou classic cast iron is its ability to retain and evenly disburse heat. It is excellent for browning, frying and baking various foods. Before a raw cast iron pan is used it should be "seasoned". To season it, wash and dry the pan thoroughly, lightly rub shortening into the pans surface, and bake the pan in a moderate oven, 300 degrees, for 60 to 75 minutes. This seasoning process gives the pan a non-stick surface that can last indefinitely.
