Internet lies about cast irons, Seasoning doesn’t mean flavoring it. It means maturing in this context.
Burn the fucking absolute shitting piss out of it until everything is grey/white ash. Throw it in some water or wipe it with a towel, can add some salt in the towel rub if you wanna scrub some crap off. Once it is less hot, put some oil on that has a high smoke point olive oil or vegetable oil is fine someone is gonna scream about a specific oil, it doesn’t matter.
It’s now ready to go, if you think you’ve ever fucked it up cook the absolute pissing shitting fuck out of it, repeat the cooling and oiling steps. That’s literally it.
Yes you can wash it with soap and water, if you wanna be extra nice dry it by heating it on the stove and maybe apply a little oil to a spot that you feel might look dry/rusty.
