How do you "season" a new iron skillet? I have one but have never used the thing

I get it really hot in the oven then start rubbing it down really well all over with Crisco until it absorbs that, then keep on applying coat after coat till its got a real dark glossy sheen.

This.

I rub mine (iron skillet, fu VIF no Out of context today :)) down with olive oil and put it in the the oven at 500 degrees for 30 minutes. Let it cool, wipe it down and repeat it a total of 3 times.

Crisco works as good if not better.:good!:
 
There are several reasons that people rave about their cast iron pans and cast iron skillets. Besides being an ideal heat conductor, cast iron cookware heats evenly and consistently, it is inexpensive and will last a lifetime (actually several lifetimes) with proper care, and it is an old-fashioned way to cook fat free. When well seasoned, a cast iron pan will be stick resistant and require no additional oil.
