Re: Seasoning cast iron pans
Eat nothing but bacon for a month then your pans will be well seasons for lard.
Just kidding, we'll sort of.
If you save your bacon grease for flavoring other meals use it on your cast iron. If you don't have any then get some tallow or lard. My favorite way to season is to completely slather the pan in lard and pop it in an oven for a few hours. This works with every thing but cast iron tea kettles. I have yet to figure out how to season those and have gone through three in thirty years. I used lard once but then my water was a wee bit greasy for a couple of months.
