To properly season a cast iron skillet, it takes time and patience. The process involves coating the skillet in oil and baking it at a high temperature for an extended period of time. While some may be tempted to rush through this step, it's important to give the skillet enough time to absorb the oil and create that coveted non-stick surface fully. Depending on how often you use your skillet, it may need to be re-seasoned every few months or so. But don't worry; with a little effort and dedication you'll soon have a perfectly seasoned cast iron skillet ready for all your cooking needs!
