Follow these steps to ensure your cookware stays clean and increasingly seasoned:

Allow cookware to cool enough to handle, but still quite warm
Hand wash with hot water & salt or mild soap
Use a towel to dry thoroughly (important!)
Rub a thin layer of oil inside the cookware & on the rim (Palm, Flaxseed, Coconut, Canola or other)
Place on a stove (or in an oven) & heat up until lightly smoking
Turn off the heat. Carefully use a paper towel to wipe off excess oil (this avoids a sticky surface)
Once completely cool, store in a cool, dry place

How to restore cast iron

If there is rust or gunk, first scrub the whole cookware with a steel wool sponge
Using a scouring pad, wash with soap & hot water
Use a towel to dry thoroughly (important!)
Place on a hot stove (or in an oven) to completely evaporate any excess moisture
Rub a thin layer of oil all over the cookware, inside & outside (Palm, Flaxseed, Coconut, Canola or other)
Once the oil is rubbed in thoroughly, use a clean paper towel to wipe off excess oil (this avoids stickiness)
Place cookware in an oven at 230°C to 260°C and bake for 1 hour
Depending on the type of oil you use, it can get quite smokey
