I rotate my 3 cast iron skillets and Dutch Oven and bake a batch of corn bread to keep them in top shape.
Pour one tablespoon of oil in bottom of skillet and put it in oven to heat while preheating to 400 degrees F to cook the cornbread.
Mix your dry ingredients in one bowl and your liquid ingredients in another. When the oven is at temperature, take skillet out of oven and set on stove. Quickly mix ingredients until just mixed, pour into hot pan and bake for 20 minutes.
Your pan will just need crumbs wiped out and will be ready to use.

To keep my cast iron skillets and pots seasoned, I wash them in hot soapy water after use and then dry them on the stove.
