<\/span>Best Oil for Cast Iron Seasoning Method<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What does Seasoning on Cast Iron mean?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Seasoning is using oil that has a high flashpoint to firstly fill the microscopic holes in the iron surface (sometimes referred to as pores) and at the same time form a microscopic film of oil over the top. This process works on pans but is the same method for the best oil for cast iron skillet seasoning also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the oil used it also gives cast iron cooking its unique flavor. The process of seasoning involves heating the pan to high temperatures (about 500 degrees Fahrenheit) and then applying a thin layer of oil to the surface. This helps prevent rust from forming on the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When buying a cast iron pan, check or not to see if it comes preseasoned.<\/p>\n\n\n
