					<description><![CDATA[Iron. Oil. Heat. These are the three foundational ingredients needed to season any cast iron pan. If you have a cast iron pan, a bit of oil, and a heat source then you should be able to season that pan. And so the simple answer is, yes, if your heat source is a campfire or [&#8230;]]]></description>

This includes regular and progressively longer hill training runs. If you happen to live beside a hill where runners train maybe you&#8217;ve seen folks like my running friends and I, climbing [&#8230;]]]></description>

It&#8217;s Sunday, Runday, and this morning we ran a ten kilometer spring run through that some of that scattered [&#8230;]]]></description>

It was along the lines of why y&#8217;all putting in so much work to your frying pans? I don&#8217;t and it still mostly works. Who cares! [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You get a new pan from the store, or an old, new-to-you pan from a family member, and the first thing you&#8217;re likely to do is spend some time re-seasoning. Fresh from the factory, or stale from neglect, obviously is a great time to put in the effort. But what about the pans you already [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Probably one of the most well-known bits of cast iron lore is that the more that you use your pan the better it will get. This rule of thumb is referring to the seasoning, the thin, black layers of polymerized oil that have been converted to this state by heat and have adhered to the [&#8230;]]]></description>
