How Do You Season New Pots And Pans?
To season new pots and pans, start by washing them with soap and hot water to remove any residue from the manufacturing process. Then, dry them thoroughly with a clean towel and coat the surface with a thin layer of oil, such as vegetable or canola oil. Place the pots and pans in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1-2 hours. Allow the cookware to cool in the oven and then wipe off any excess oil. This process helps create a non-stick surface and prevents rusting.
