How to clean and season/maintain a cast iron pan

Wash the pan under very hot running water
Dry with a clean kitchen towel
Preheat your oven to 245℃
Fill the pan with course salt (I use dishwashing salt!)
Place the pan on high heat for about ten minutes. The salt will spit and jump our of the pan, but be brave!!
You will be able to see the dirt in the salt which means it is time to turn off the heat. Leave pan and salt to cool, it is extremely hot!!
Tip the dirty salt in a bag and dispose of it. Wipe the the remnants from the pan with kitchen paper.
Put a few drops of Linseed oil on kitchen paper and rub over the inside and outside of the pan.
Place the oiled pan in the oven and bake it for one hour. Turn off the heat and leave in the oven to cool completely.
Your pan is now clean and seasoned and will serve you for many more years.
