If you do nothing else...

1. Hand wash. Dry immediately—even before first use.
2. Rub with a light coat of vegetable oil after every wash.
3. How much oil? Enough to restore the sheen, without being “sticky”.
4. Why? To keep the iron “seasoned” and protected from moisture.

Seasoning - it isn't salt and pepper
