Before seasoning, start by cleaning your cast iron skillet thoroughly. If it’s new, rinse it with warm water to remove any factory residues. For old skillets that may have food build-up, scrub them with a non-metal brush or a sponge using mild soap. Although soap should generally be avoided in caring for cast iron, it’s okay if you’re working with an older pan that needs a deep clean. Rinse and dry the skillet completely to prevent any moisture from causing rust.

A Dutch oven is a heavy, thick-walled cooking pot, often made of cast iron, that excels at retaining heat and moisture. Traditionally, these pots come with a tight-fitting lid, allowing for even cooking and excellent heat retention. Dutch ovens can be used on the stovetop and in the oven, making them incredibly versatile for various cooking methods—braising, baking, frying, and stewing. With their ability to go from stovetop to oven, they are perfect for recipes that require both searing and slow cooking.
