We begin with a 1M (Molar) Sodium Hydroxide lye bath to strip away all carbon buildup and old seasoning. Following this, the skillet is placed in an electrolysis tank for 10 Amperes (A) of hydrolysis, a process that gently removes all traces of rust without damaging the iron. The final and most crucial step is a triple oven seasoning using Flaxseed Oil. This creates a durable, beautiful, and naturally non-stick finish, making it ready to use right out of the box!
