we always just rub them real good with hog lard and put them in the oven and increase the heat till it get real hot then let cool in the oven.
then the first few times,we cook bacon in it,that shoul do it.
some people in the days of old would build a fire in the yard and put the skillet in it and leave till the fire went out and it cools. both ways work pertty good.
