Washing Up
Okay, so when I originally got my CI I seasoned it with vegetable oil and it started getting gunky when I used it on the stove (the under part). So I took the advice I read here and stuck all my CI in a 550 oven for an hour and this set ~ 3 pieces ~ for an hour and a half. They came out clean and pristine like the day I bought them. So now I have to season them with Crisco this time now that all the veggie oil has burned off. So my question is, do you season the whole thing? Bottom, handle, inside, or do you just season the inside. It was the bottom that got gunky and that happened just sitting in the cupboard.
