To season your cast iron camp oven, start by washing it with warm water and a mild soap to remove any factory coating. Dry it thoroughly with a towel or by heating it on the stove to ensure there's no moisture left. Apply a thin layer of oil—vegetable oil or flaxseed oil works well—inside and out. Place the cookware upside down in the oven and bake it at 350°F for an hour. Let it cool completely before storing it. Regularly seasoning your cast iron camping cookware will keep it in top condition, ready for your next outdoor adventure.
