0:44
little while and release

those kernels down there that's a really
0:48
detailed work and you find that on a lot

going to do
0:57
never put soap on these you're going to
0:59
make sure that they're clean

and dry with just a little sheen
1:04
of vegetable oil if you've been doing
1:07
some other things and haven't used your
1:08
cast iron in a while you're going to
1:09
want to re-season this and it's as
1:11
simple as this
1:12
we're just going to add a little bit of
1:13
vegetable oil into our
1:16
pan make sure that it's
1:19
all nice and coated
1:32
that's flavor that's why you don't use
1:34
soap on these
1:35
i'm going to put it into the oven at 350
1:38
degrees for about an
1:38
hour
1:42
we're gonna cook it out and that's what
1:45
seals it up
