Cast Iron Seasoning: Flaxseed Oil is Fragile but Slick, Crisco is Tough, Why Not Mix Oils?

Just use Crisco and not a mix. Unless you have a food allergy that prevents the use of Crisco it will work the best. Have been using cast iron for 40 or 50 years and this always works great. We switched to flax seed because of soy allergy that my wife has at it was not near as good. All of my cast iron is non stick. Just wipe a little oil of any kind on the pan after use and after seasoned and it will be good forever.
