Seasoning of the cookware pot

Start by heating your oven to 350 degrees. Coat your cast iron pot with lard. Never use cooking sprays or vegetable oil. They will not season your pan correctly. Once you’ve coated it with lard put it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove and pour out any excess lard. Now put it back in the oven for 2 hours.

Repeat the above process two to three times initially. This will ensure your pot is deeply seasoned. The first time you cook with your cast iron pot cook something greasy like bacon which helps strengthen the seasoning of the pot.

Over time your pot will loose its seasoning. When food begins to stick it’s time to season your pot again. While the pot is warm wash well, then repeat the same process you initially used to treat your cast iron pot.Cleaning your cast iron cookware is really quite easy. There are two simple things to remember never use steel wool and never use soap. Both of these will cause your seasoning to breakdown. Simply rinse with hot water and scrape any food that is stuck. Then either dry with paper towel or place in a warm oven to dry.
