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.

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