So, how to clean a cast-iron frying pan, we figured out, but what to do to restore its oil "non-stick coating" after such serious interventions? Or in the event that food began to stick to the frying pan? That the food does not stick and do not burn:

1. Heat the frying pan over a small fire for about 20 minutes, pour salt on its bottom.
2. As soon as the salt starts to crackle, start stirring the salt, touching the bottom with a spoon. This should be done about 20 minutes. Then salt should be poured out and wait until the utensils cool down completely. By the way, salt can be reused for the same procedure.
3. After the frying pan has cooled down, rinse it off with salt, then again glow.

2. As soon as the oil starts to burn, gently wipe the excess with a paper towel, and then pour oil again. Next, just wipe it with a napkin, pour a new layer of oil, wait for the excess to begin to burn and wipe again, that is, in general, this procedure should be done 3 times.
