Stove black is not for seasoning pans or pots - it is an outside finish only.

Thanks Daryl.

I'm not sure stove black would withstand direct flame, as it is for the outside of the cast iron stove.

The main object for R&M is the equivalent of a iron pot belly stove, only smaller so stove black is the perfect thing for it. No problem with rust on the inside of it, not water touches there and the fire fixes it anyway.

Olive oil spray also works well for seasoning. And helps burned hands from the very hot cast iron necesary for the oil to be absorbed into the iron pores.

Look for "stove black".
Usually comes in a little bottle about the size of a mink oil bottle.

Never use soap for cleaning cast iron pots and pans.
...boiling water in the dirty pan to lift that which is stuck on, I dry it and re-apply the oil. After time and use, the pans become seasoned.
Bacon fat can also be used, it's just the thinnest coat, rubbed around with a folded paper towel.
