What happens if you don't season a cast iron skillet?

Chef's answer
You don't understand seasoning Seasoning makes your skillet release food easily, clean up quickly and remain stain- and rust-free. Some cast-iron skillets, including those made by Lodge, come pre-seasoned. You'll notice they have a smooth, non-greasy, softly lacquered surface.

    It's important to let the meat rest after cooking. With all those beautiful smells in your kitchen, it's hard to resist digging straight in. I recommend at least 2-5 minutes of resting so the meat is juicier and tastier..
    Just before cooking or 24-hours in advance. My preferred method is to season the steak generously with salt and pepper then let it sit uncovered in the refrigerator at least overnight or up to 48 hours.
