How to Season a New Cast Iron Kettle
Iron cookware is a popular cooking medium. It heats evenly, transfers heat well, and can be used for almost any culinary application. However, iron rusts easily and quickly. Seasoning is the process of applying a thin layer of carbon to iron cookware to prevent rust from forming.
