One thing my Dad recommended I do was to season my Dutch Oven. After cleaning it thoroughly with hot water and soap, you take vegetable oil and rub (or spray) it all over the Dutch Oven, even on the outside, and then bake it. I baked mine for about an hour. Here's what it looked like afterwards:
According to this Dutch Oven website (which I found useful for seasoning), this serves two purposes:
- To form a barrier between moisture in the air and the surface of the metal (prevents rusting).
- To provide a nonstick coating on the inside of the oven.
I really like the dark, black, shiny look. It makes it look cool.
