The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Wash it, dry it in the stove top, and add 1 layer. Makes it last longer, while still adding layers.

Are you suggesting to bake on some oil, or just oil it before storing?

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Either works for me. If not baking the oil on immediately, just buff it into the pan so that there is only an extremely thin layer of oil

Bake on some oil using the stove top. First, dry the cast iron over the burner (just let it sit there, burner on high). Once dry, add a thin layer of oil with paper towel. Wipe off what you can with that paper towel. Wait maybe 5 minutes while it still cooks. I usually will take it back off the burner and place in the cool oven for later use.

Drying it using heat, like heating it on the stove top while wet, will cause flash rust because heat greatly speeds up the oxidation reaction. Just towel dry it

Haven't had any issues, done this process for years.

Can always use a cheap cast iron if it's a concern.

ETA: also not much of an issue if you already have a good seasoning layer on the pan. The water shouldn't have made any real contact with the iron if that's the case.
