Scrub the Skillet
Coat the inside of your skillet with kosher salt.
Using a chainmail scrubber or brush, scrub in circular motions.
Discard dirty salt and repeat at least twice, covering the inside, outside, and bottom.
Wash & Dry
Rinse with a small amount of mild dish soap and warm water.
Scrub gently with a microfiber towel.
Dry completely with a towel, then place on high heat burner until all moisture evaporates.
Preheat for Seasoning
Preheat oven to 200°F.
Place skillet inside for 5–6 minutes to warm and open pores of the metal.
Oil the Skillet
Remove skillet while warm and rub a thin layer of Crisco (inside, outside, handle, and bottom).
Wipe away excess oil with a lint-free rag.
Bake the Skillet
Increase oven to 500°F.
Place skillet upside down in oven with a tray underneath.
Bake for 30 minutes, then turn oven off and let it rest inside for another 30 minutes.
Repeat
For best results, repeat oiling and baking cycle 2–3 times.
