re: Seasoning Cast Iron

"Wash with warm water and just a very small amount of mild soap. Use a spoonge and gently clean all surfaces. Rinse and dry completely. To aid in the drying process you can place your cast iron into the cookware while preheating an oven to 300, then turn off heat source and leave the pan in the oven to dry and cool down. While pan is slightly warm, wipe a thin layer of flavorless vegetable oil onto the cooking surface of your clean pan. Remover any excess oil with a paper towel. You are now ready to use your emeril cast iron. Cast iron must be seasoned with vegetable oil prior to each use and after each cleaning."
Is this good directions to follow?
These directions are fine because you are not seasoning the iron from a raw state...it's already seasoned. You are just cleaning off anything it may have got on it from shipping and then oiling it down.

Also how often should in season in?
Are you asking how often should you re-season it? I'm not sure of what you're asking.

Believe it or not my tried and true favorite is crisco.
Please, whatever you do though is please don't put it directly on a fire. You will have a good chance of warping/cracking if you do that. Whatever temp you use in the oven should be brought up slowly to open up the pores of the iron so you get good adhesion when you get to the part of applying the oil.
This is great advice, and the same advice I was about to post.

lard.
in the oven for like an hour.
better than teflon..scrambled eggs slide off it like they're cooking on glass.

Not how I do it, but there are many ways to do it.
It's kinda like cooking a gumbo...nobody does it the same way as anyone else and it's still probably pretty damned good.

I've decided to try the flaxseed process. I'll probably only do it three or four times since it's pre seasoned. Ill let you guys how it comes out. Thanks for all the advice guys.

2nd the flaxseed oil method.
I saw that same article here last year and re-seasoned several of my pots and they have held up very well. 4 or 5 coats makes a great finish. Just try it on one of your pots and you will see the difference.
and...you can get food quality flaxseed oil at Walmart or any health food store.
Nice pot Oyster! What was the last thing you cooked in that pot?
