Are you suggesting to bake on some oil, or just oil it before storing?

Bake on some oil using the stove top. First, dry the cast iron over the burner (just let it sit there, burner on high). Once dry, add a thin layer of oil with paper towel. Wipe off what you can with that paper towel. Wait maybe 5 minutes while it still cooks. I usually will take it back off the burner and place in the cool oven for later use.

Either works for me. If not baking the oil on immediately, just buff it into the pan so that there is only an extremely thin layer of oil
