I just purchased a new 12" cast iron skillet and the label on it claims that it's "seasoned, ready-to-use." Naturally, I'm suspicious. How can I be sure that it really is seasoned correctly? Should I season it myself just to be sure?
Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Cookware
Bare cast iron cookware must be seasoned before you use it. Pre seasoning is a process where a combination of oil and heat is used to coat the cookware so that it will be at its best for long term use and will provide a non-stick surface for cooking. Seasoning is not excessively difficult, but some people do not want to have to go through that process in order to begin using their pans. Years ago, there may not have been another option, but today there is. Today, you can buy just about all types of cast iron cookware that is already pre-seasoned. If you want to begin cooking right away with your new cast iron cookware, just make sure to buy a pre-seasoned pan, and you’re ready to start cooking! |
