Seasoning a skillet is very simple. For a new cast iron skillet, simply wash the pan with a mild detergent, and hot water. After that, coat the entire pan (with the exception of the part that touches the heating element) with lard. Place in oven at 200 degrees for 3 hours. This will open up the metal pores of the cast iron, and allow the lard to seep in. After removing the skillet from the oven, wipe it down with a paper towel to remove all excess lard. Repeat every 6 months or so, to maintain a non stick surface.

What cast iron used for?
Cast iron skillets are used for frying and baking. I use mine to fry bacon and eggs, and to bake cornbread. They are non-sticking if they have been seasoned. To season a skillet, cover the inside of the skillet with a thin coat of oil and put it into a hot oven (400). Turn off the oven and let the oil cook onto the skillet. It will form a coating that is non-sticking. Never wash your skillet in soapy water because that will remove the coating. When the coating is washed off or wears off re-season it. I have a skillet that is over 50 years old. It doesn't wear out, it doesn't get dented, and if you always keep it seasoned it won't rust.
