Skillet seasoning @MoaiFriends  #castironcooking 
If you care for your cast-iron skillet (pan), seasoning it correctly will return the favor with a lifetime of delicious meals. These heavy, forged skillets are the workhorses of the kitchen. They're durable, affordable, and perfect for various cooking techniques. These versatile skillets let you sear, fry, bake, roast, and braise! If you don't own a cast iron skillet but want to invest in one, this video will show you how to season it to last a lifetime.
What Does Seasoning Mean? 
Seasoning refers to your cast iron skillet's complex, practically nonstick surface coating. Most cast iron skillets these days come pre-seasoned, meaning they're ready for cooking as soon as you take them out of the box. However, the seasoning erodes over time, and you'll need to re-apply it by brushing the skillet with a thin layer of oil and heating it until the oil bonds to the metal. You'll know the seasoning has eroded when the surface looks dry and patchy in spots, but it's a good practice to season your skillet every so often before the seasoning starts to break down. 
How to Season a Cast-Iron Skillet
Heat the skillet
add one teaspoon of oil to the hot skillet
Use a paper towel to wipe the excess oil
make sure that you cover the entire skillet, inside and outside.
