People, use good natural oils to season your cast iron.
Olive oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, walnut oil are so much better than artificial stuff. Yes, crisco and margarine are just as artifical as pam.

Agree. Pam ruins regular bakeware and non stick pans. I use homemade pan release on my baking pans (which does BTW have some Crisco on it but does not cause buildup on pans the way Pam does), and oil on my cast iron. My DO has a beautiful thick non-stick layer from good seasoning.
Instead of Pam when cooking, I brush one tsp of oil on my pan with a silicone brush. That's really all it takes and adds no appreciable calories of cooking for more than one person.
