Most people say “just cook with your pans, they’ll get seasoned eventually”

However, most guides I’ve read about seasoning your cast iron say to keep it in the oven for a lot longer and at higher temperatures than I would normally cook at. Why is this?

If oils take that long to polymerize, how could cast iron get seasoned during normal cooking times? If they don’t, why do we bake them in the oven for so long when seasoning?

Help me understand! (I’ve been cooking everything with cast iron for a long while and I love it, I’m just curious!)

Does anyone know of any sports bars/restaurants that will be playing the remaining games specifically with sound on?
