This first episode will not have a recipe but will discuss how to season your cast iron cookwear whether it be a frypan, toastie maker or camp oven. The camp oven I purchased is a Kookuburra brand size 4.5qt from Rays and the first thing I did was wash, dry and use it. Right from the start I had
trouble with the oven rusting up and food sticking to it while cooking, so I searched Dr Google and found a way to season the old trusty camp oven. This is by no means the only way or the best way to do it but by using this method my pot has a good patina on it which protects it from the coals, keeps the outside clean and helps prevent food from sticking to it. The season does not last indefinitely and does require topping up from time to time.
Steps:
Repeat steps 3-5 as many times till pot and oven have a good dark patina on them.
Tips:
Use your camp oven as often as possible, for some reason the food tastes so good.
