A cast iron seasoning checklist dries the pan, buffs on a thin oil, and bakes that coat until it is not sticky.
Pans go into the oven shiny with oil and come out tacky, or they rust because they were put away damp.
Why This Happens
More oil looks more protected. Seasoning is the opposite: almost no oil, fully dry, then heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use soap?
Yes. A little soap will not strip a polymerized coat. Soaking and harsh dishwasher cycles will.
Why is my pan sticky?
Too much oil. Buff it until it looks dry, then heat it again.
Do I need to season after every meal?
No. Dry it with heat. Add a thin wipe of oil only if it looks dull.
What oil?
A neutral oil that tolerates oven heat. Butter and thick drippings make a gummy layer.
