Was going to get a cast iron fry pan to replace one that I haven't seen for 25 plus years.
Was told when I was a kid that you season a cast pan by covering it in Bacon grease or lard and putting it in the oven for a couple of hours at 200* , is that true.
Also heard that you never wash them just wipe them clean???? if you wash them you have to do the bacon grease thing again, is that true?
If your just wiping it clean how does that last if you only use it every week or 10 days does it go mouldy?
What about Pam or some other product ?
Have electric stoves at home but wanted to use it on the side burner on the BBQ, at that BBQ 4-5 days a week, pretty well year round when I'm home but don't use the side burner every time
any ideas or info?
