In this video, Mr. Cast Iron shows his technique of seasoning cast iron with Crisco. If you have a new piece of cast iron or one you got at a flea market or somewhere, the first thing you want to do is wash it very well with Dawn dish soap and rinse it completely. The next step is to dry it off. Some folks place it on a burner or in the oven for a few minutes to heat dry the skillet before placing the Crisco on the pan. I don't do that every time because I have another technique I use.

After you dry the skillet, you want to rub a coat of Crisco all over the skillet, making sure to get it front and back, top and bottom, and every nook and cranny, including the handle. After that, you want to wipe as much of the Crisco off as you can. One thing to remember is that less is always best. Try to wipe everything off so when it bakes, you won't have a splotchy, sticky mess. Place it upside down in a 450-degree preheated oven for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, pull the skillet out and wipe it down one more time to make sure there is no excess oil. Next, place it back into the oven for 1 hour. After the hour is up, turn the oven off and let it cool down completely before you try to add another layer of seasoning. If you are happy with how it looks, start cooking with it. Otherwise, you may want to do three rounds of seasoning to establish a good base coat before using it. And this is how I season a cast iron skillet with Crisco!
