I'm doubtful "seasoning" cast iron changes flavours of food at all.

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 22 points 11 months ago

It's not really for the food, it's for the pan. Seasoning is basically self-healing teflon.

I can taste metal in an acidic dish when it isn't treated, but seasoning mainly makes the pan easy to clean.

Seasoning in regards to cast iron has nothing to do with taste. It's a polymerized layer of oils that acts as a nonstick coating. The process of seasoning cast iron is to lightly coat it in oil and heat that oil to smoke point and repeat that process several times.
