this is how the old timers seasoned their cast iron skillets except i used the indoor oven. 1st on the grade shelf you plan on setting the skillet on wrap aluminum foil on that shelf , then with a clean skillet take a paper towel wipe on a decent layer of bacon fat on both sides of the skillet including handle , then put skillet on the aluminum foil shelf upside down ,turn oven to 400 degrees for 3 - 4 hrs. , repeat this process once a day for 4-6 days , 6 days does the best job , only use hot water to clean your skillet ,never ever use soap in a seasoned skillet ! enjoy your season skillet. if you have a old rusty skillet check out the internet for how to refinish your old skillet.

The old timers I knew just used to cook with them.
