It used to be essential to “season” cast iron cookware. But today, Lodge cookware, one of the largest producers of cast iron pans, makes pre-seasoned skillets. Whether you have the original or pre-seasoned cookware, be sure not to commit the cardinal sin of cast iron care—washing it in soap and water. Lodge recommends cleaning it with a stiff brush and hot water, toweling dry and applying a coating of vegetable oil while it’s warm.
