How to Care for a Cast-Iron Skillet

1A cast-iron skillet is a heavy frying pan made of iron. It heats up slowly, but once it is hot, it stays hot for a long time. With good care, a skillet can last for many years. In some families, an old skillet is passed down from grandparents to grandchildren.

2The secret to a long-lasting skillet is seasoning. Seasoning is not salt or pepper. It is a thin layer of oil that has been baked onto the iron until it turns hard and dark. This layer makes the pan smoother, so food is less likely to stick. It also helps protect the iron from rust.

3After cooking, let the skillet cool until it is safe to handle. Then wash it with hot water and a stiff brush or sponge, and scrub off any stuck-on food. Do not leave the pan soaking in the sink, and do not put it in the dishwasher. Too much water is a skillet's worst enemy, because wet iron can rust.

4Next, dry the skillet completely with a towel. A grown-up may also set it on a warm burner for a minute so that every drop of water disappears. When the pan is cool enough to touch, rub a very thin coat of oil over the inside with a paper towel. Wipe away any extra oil, because a thick, uneven coat can turn sticky.

5Handle the skillet carefully when you cook. The handle gets just as hot as the pan, so use a thick pot holder. Ask an adult for help whenever the skillet is on the stove.

6What if you discover orange spots of rust? Do not worry, because a rusty skillet is not ruined. Scrub the spots away, wash and dry the pan, and then reseason it. With some patience, it will be useful again.
