Don't season your pan with EVOO, its smoke point is too low. Avocado oil works well for seasoning.

- Tabular-Iceberg 3y agoWhat does smoke point have to do with it? What you want is a high iodine value. Both avocado and olive oil have low iodine values, and they’re premium oils, so doubly wasteful for cast iron seasoning.
- dekhn 3y agoI think the idea is the higher the smoke point the easier it is to bring the oil to a high temperature to get it to polymerize. I don't know if this is true, as my pan came preseasoned and then I mainly add to that by carbonizing previous bits.
