Any alternatives to seasoning cast iron in the oven? It is just too hot but it needs done.?
I just dont want to have turn the oven on just to reseason my skillet. Any ideas would be helpful.
Answers:
Apply a thin (and I do mean thin) coat of oil - vegetable oil - and put the item in an oven with 200 degrees heat and leave overnight. This is a very low oven and won't create as much heat.
Or, coat with oil and set aside until the next time you use the oven and stick the item in the oven while you are cooking the other item. This saves energy too, however you'll need to really watch the item if your oven is very high. Slower seasoning is better that "quick" hot seasoning.
