I followed a previous reviewers directions about washing it with hot water and scrubbing it with a chainmail scrubber (also overnighted via Amazon), immediately drying it on the stove top over medium-high heat and then lightly coating it in oil before placing it in the oven at 450 degrees for 1 hour. ...
