Maybe we are doing it wrong, but it's working for us.
We have a couple that we bought new and a couple we have rescued front use.
In the case of the new ones, we simply put them on the stove over a medium high flame to warm them up, then I drop in some vegetable oil. I use a paper towel to rub it in and rub it off. I continue with the heat right until it starts smoking. Then I toss them in the oven (turned off) as this helps control the little bit of smoke as it cools off.
With the rescues, we simply boiled some water in them and scrubbed the heck out of them until cleaned to our satisfaction. Then, to season, I repeated the process above three or four times.
Every time we use them, we wash I the sink and repeat the process. Works great for us.
