Best Way to Season Cast Iron Pans - Flax Seed Oil

Step 4Repeat 4 to 7 Times

Repeat 4 to 7 Times
Once you've "cooked" the pan for 30 minutes, remove it from the oven and let the pan sit until it's cool enough to touch.  When you're sure it's not still hot, reapply a thin coat of oil using the same method described in step 2, put it back into the oven and cook it for another half an hour.  

Keep repeating this process until you've gone through as many cycles as you'd like.  I've found that 4 to 7 rounds was enough to result in a semi-gloss, beautifully smooth, tough, black finish that is ready for use.
