Seasoning is a process used primarily with cast iron and carbon steel cookware to create a non-stick surface and to protect the metal from rusting. The process involves coating the surface of the cookware with a layer of oil and then heating it to a high temperature. This causes the oil to polymerize, forming a hard, protective layer on the cookware.
