Here's how I cleaned and seasoned an old cast iron pan in about 2 hours using salt and steel wool. What is cast iron and how long have people been using it? What oil should you use and what are the smoking points of different oils? Do I use soap to clean a dirty pan?

Be forewarned..this is pretty potent stuff. Here is how to make arancello at home. I've made this at restaurants and now it's time I shared how to do this at home. It definitely has a kick to it but it's great as an after dinner digestif. Zest from 3 or 4 oranges, 375mL pure grain alcohol, 2 cups of water, 1 1/4 cups of sugar for a simple syrup. It takes a minimum of 10 days to macerate the orange zest before finishing the arancello. Then make the simple syrup and let it cool completely, or freeze it. Strain the zest and mix with the simple syrup. This is best when served ice cold from the freezer. You can use lemon zest for limoncello or grapefruit zest for pompelmocello but you have to let the grapefruit macerate for at least 20 days. Affiliate links.
