Question is what oil is the best ?

I have never used it but all the research says "Walnut Oil" Apparently it is the only vegetable oil that does not go rancid.

Expensive and only available in Health Food Shops.

Other than that good old olive oil. I use the Home Brand Spray Olive Oil on mine.

However when seasoning camp ovens I do use virgin olive oil

Thanks Derek,
Mate had a small can of virgin olive oil last time we went camping, at Easter that was.
Thought at the time it would be ideal for seasoning.
Am hoping my 12" Chef turns up tomorrow so I can season all of my new toys together so will go grocery shopping to find some.

On the "Walnut Oil" I wonder how Macadamia oil would go being a tree nut, unlike Peanut oil a ground nut

I started out with nothing and still have most of it

I always use Peanut oil for cooking, which I'm told doesn't go rancid either.
Maybe it is "nut oils" in general, & Peanut oil handles more heat than any other without burning & giving off a "burnt smell", however I rarely use it for storage mainly because it doesn't come in a spray although I probably should!
Like you Derek & others I'm sure, I use olive oil or sometimes Canola spray for "seasoning" because it burns at high temperatures & gives that nice black coating we are looking for.

I dont have a lot of ovens to have them on display and shiny. Each seems to get used fairly regularly.
I always give mine a light coat inside and thats it, packed away with a little ash still on the outside generally.
I figure if they start to rust or the oil goes rancid, then I'm not using them enough.

Hi Carolyn,
I always do a quick wipe with a paper towel and olive oil. I then leave the oily paper towel in the oven as it will absorb dampness instead of the cast iron. I have had good luck with this method.
