  1. Crisco is the best fat to use to season your cast iron pan. For some reason, people will try all sorts of goofy alternatives rather than use inexpensive, vegetarian, trans-fat free Crisco. As far as eating it, the things you use it in, pie crusts and cookies, are things you shouldn’t be eating that much of anyway. I make at most a couple of pie crusts a year using Crisco. If I make brownies from a mix, I’ll grease the pan with Crisco, another infrequent use. I don’t worry about it.
