However, re-seasoning is recommended if you notice food sticking, if cookware develops a dull, gray color or rust appears to keep cookware in optimal cooking condition. To re-season, wash cookware with hot soapy water and a stiff brush and rinse and dry completely. Apply a light coating of vegetable shortening to the entire surface of the pan. Place aluminum foil on lower rack of oven to catch drippings. Place pan in oven upside down and bake at 350 degrees F (176 degrees C) for 1.5 hours. Remove cookware from oven with oven mitts and allow to cool. Once cool, wipe off excess shortening with paper towel.
