3.?? ?Dry off the skillet with a dry cloth
4.?? ?Heat it on stove top until it is smoking hot to make sure complete dry(this step is important as water is the enemy of cast iron skillet)
5.?? ?Apply a thin, even coating of cooking oil of your choice (inside and outside of the skillet)
? ? ? ? Note: Remember to wipe off excess oil.
6.?? ?Hang to dry for next use
