Unlike Teflon saucepans, cast iron pans or skillets do not have a non-stick surface.
It is therefore necessary, before use, to prepare them well to create this non-stick layer :this is called seasoning a frying pan.
Traditionally, this can be done with vegetable oil, but there is another product that is much more effective!
And that product is of course coconut oil.
Why is this oil better? Well it's a matter of temperature tolerance.
Coconut oil is much more stable at high temperatures and makes your pan non-stick faster.
So, to season a new pan with coconut oil, do this.
First wash your cast iron skillet with a degreasing product.
It should be noted that it is not advisable to wash the pan with soap afterwards, as this eliminates the grease and therefore the non-stickiness.
Rinse thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
Then proceed to the 1st seasoning by covering the pan with coconut oil.
Place it in an oven and heat at 250° for 2 hours.
Remove the pan, save the oil for later (or reuse it like here) and let cool.
Over subsequent uses, the pan will continue to brown naturally, improving its non-stick properties.
If after some time the food starts to stick, repeat the seasoning process.
And don't forget to avoid washing the pan with soap.
Simply run it under very hot water, wipe with a damp cloth and let air dry.
And if stubborn marks remain, use salt and a soft scrub brush to loosen the residue then clean with a damp cloth. Check out the trick here.
