I've also read that coconut oil does a good job for seasoning.

BE CAREFUL when using self cleaning cycles on ovens where you have glass doors. I used the self cleaning cycle on a two year old KitchenAid oven for the first time, and it blew out the glass - everywhere. Thank goodness no one was standing nearby. It was VERY scary!
