There's plenty of false info and myths on the Internet; even Snopes has been caught with false information. Life's too short to "fact check" everybody.:B

I would never advocate washing CI on a regular basis however I do initially wash any pot that's been in storage for a long time or newly purchased.
Yesss a thousand times yes to your posting of how to season. Using a similar seasoning method to your's during the summer when I don't want the heat of the oven, I season it atop the stove on low; takes longer but gets the job done.

Ok, here we go again.
The seasoning on a Dutch oven is OIL! Do not use soap on a seasoned oven.
However, if you want to make sure about how well seasoned an oven is, re. season it. You know, very thin coat of oil, plant oil like olive oil or safflower oil...., lightly gone over with a light rag to make sure it's a thin coat. Put in oven for 2 hours at high temperature, I use 410'F. Turn oven off and leave oven there until cool. Then on to step 2.
Do that 3 times. and it will be well and truly seasoned.
Enjoy. Post some photos of your cookings, s.v.p.

If you were reseasoning (or newly seasoning) use the method Little Kopit mentioned. The only change i would add is to heat it up on your BBQ. That way you don't get the smoke (if any) in the house.
This is a good site for recipes, there are tons on the net, just Google. Warning though...it can eat up your time searching for recipes!!

Ok campers, I am guilty of being a slacker. I haven't used my Dutch oven in a couple of years. Opened it up and I still looked good and smelled ok. But, should I clean off the old seasoning or just go ahead and use it? And if I am to clean it off, how do I do that?
I want to get back into cooking with it so I bought a new 10 inch one, the old one is a 12 inch. Just Momma and I so I thought the smaller one might be a better fit. Thanks, John
Also can any one recommend any good Dutch oven cooking recipe books?
