Peanut oil usually- the flavor is not obtrusive and we are not allergic to it. But any mild oil with a smoke point of 350 or so would be enough, I hear rice bran oil is good

I am going to use a section of cattle panel for a pot rack.
I wanted to use an old window that had 4 little squares of glass ..missing the glass. DH said it was going to be such a pain in the butt to beef it up enough to hold skillets and pans, then gave me 'the look'. He'd do it if I pushed, but the cattle panel might be faster.

I'd love to see pictures, Mariann! I love the sound of it. Your right, though the castle panel is probably better than the window. I saw some shutters at a consignment so but I think that would be the same problem as a window...

Paul Wheaton has a great page on seasoning cast iron. I'll post it on another thread. (I guess I can't post the link, it won't copy/paste on the new thread)
Just a suggestion, when you're dealing with remodel, you might want to consider getting some kind of vent in that kitchen. Small rooms can really be humid when you're cooking and doing dishes - not so good for the walls. Is that possibly a reason why your cast iron isn't keeping the seasoning on?
When I can get hubs to do the pot rack, I'll post a pic here. I still love the window frame idea. It'd work for colanders, ladles, baskets, that kind of stuff, but I'm trying to do more with less stuff. HA!!

BTW, I've been wanting a pot rack for some time and come to the conclusion that I just need to put stuff away when I'm done. It's more work and trouble but the result is worth it. For example, I have a huge pressure canner. I like to have it close at hand but the reality is that I can fetch it from the garage when I need it. I just don't use it frequently enough to justify the amount of space it takes up in the kitchen.
