coat that sucker with avocado oil and bring it up to 200°C for a few minutes. Allow it to cool, repeat until the sides don't hold any oil, then switch to crisco solid shortening for a few rounds.

I love that everyone is showing up to give real advice to this post.
What does the avocado oil base do? I’ve never seasoned a cast iron pan from scratch before.
I've got one that I need someone to do this to so I can start over. It's older than I am and was poorly taken care of for several years before I got it.
The cast iron I bought for myself is all in good condition. That one means a lot because of where it comes from but I don't have the patience to scrape all that shit off. I wish someone would do it for me so I could enjoy the pan my grandaddy cooked me bacon in.
Just put it in the oven on cleaning mode if you have a self cleaning oven
My oven uses some weird "eco-friendly" self-cleaning process that involves pouring water into it and steaming the dirt off, which doesn't sound like it would be good for the pan. Got any alternatives? I found a Griswold at the thrift store a few years back and I'd like to be able to restore it without damaging it.
