Tips for Preventing Rust: Never soak the pan: Since cast iron is so vulnerable to rust, its best to limit your pans exposure to water as much as possible. Dont let the pan air dry: Wipe off any excess water with a towel immediately after rinsing. To get your skillet bone dry, pop it on the burner to remove extra moisture. Lightly oil after use: Once dried, rub your skillet with a thin layer of vegetable oil before storing. Seasoning: Drop a tablespoon of vegetable oil on the pan/utensil and spread it around with your fingers or a paper towel. (Take care not to burn yourself on a warm skillet!). Oil the outside and the handle, too. Next, take a folded napkin and wipe off the excess oil. Youll want the skillet to be lightly greased. Set your oven to 350 degrees and put some aluminum foil on the bottom rack. Then pop the skillet in, upside down, on the upper rack for about 1 hour. Turn the oven off and leave the pan inside until its cool. The oil will bake into the pores of the pan, providing a nonstick finish. Before cooking, ensure your pan is clean with no scratches that can cause food to stick and burn. Also using water, oil or butter to help grease the pan and create a barrier between the contents will increase longevity of the nonstick coating. Use MasterClass Silicone Pan Handle Sleeves (sold separately) to protect your hands from burns.
