Show your cast iron some love by frying up bacon – the sizzling fat naturally builds seasoning. After cooking, clean gently, melt a dab of tallow, and wipe it thinly across the surface for storage. This ritual deepens that glossy, non-stick armor while keeping rust at bay.

I used to do this before switching to.... you guessed it, stainless steel. Wouldn't go back.
I bought stainless steel a few years ago and am never going back. My after cooking ritual now is to... put it in the dishwasher.
