CURING SKILLET.
(From Mrs. v. Nick, WashinotonJ
Some time ago I saw in your
column q request for information
on how to cure an iron skillet. Al.
though, 1t has been q long time
since ! did this, I think I still re-
member how. First. you WASH the
skillet and dry 1t thoroughly.
Then you grease the inside well
with lard or one Of the vegetable
shortcomings. Place 1t on q low
flame 50 that it can become very
hot but be careful to not let IL
burn. When 1t has become thor
oughly heated set 1t OF the flame
until 1t Is cool enough to handle.
Wipe the skillet with q dry cloth.
It need not be washed until after
1t has been used the first time.
The grease forms q protective
film which prevents rust and helps
to keep foods from sticking to the
skillet. This same method can be
ussd to cure any type Of iron
cooking utensil.

In answer to Mrs. J. A. w., Falls
