Also you shouldn't ever use a scrubbing pad or soap. Use kosher salt and or heat the pan and then pur in some water to deglaze the pan and then wipe out the hot water with paper towells. This will clean your pan. A scrubbing pad will scrape off your seasoning and the soap will break it down.

@MyREDTAIL Yes you still need to season it more. Also you whould put the cast iron in UPSIDE DOWN to prevent pooling of the crisco which will leave you with sticky spots. Make sure that you put on a VERY thin layer all over or your cast iron will rust in the places that aren't seasoned.

So if you could please advise as to what that is, and if it's safe to cook with again without extensive cleaning and another go at seasoning it in the oven.

You should season them upside down in a 400 degree oven or hotter for an hour to prevent pooling of the shortening which will make sticky spots.

Thanks for this video, very helpful. I have a question: I used olive oil to season my new cast iron dutch oven and after cooking w/ it and cleaning it, I started heating it and applying another soft touch of olive oil (as you did w/ your vegetable oil spray). But I noticed the paper towel was getting some dark substance on it when I was rubbing a fresh coat of oil, and that dark (possibly oil) just doesnt stop coming out as i rub. This is only on the inside of the dutch oven, not the outside.

@yanaqwi sorry for the delay here, just saw your comment now. i wouldn't use olive oil, i now use flax oil, which you can find in the fridge section of health food stores. the dark stuff may be burnt olive oil, it has a low heat point. thx, eric.
