I learned from a chef that an oven would work better due to the even heat applied all over but in a pinch or if you don’t want to do all that, the stove top could be fine.
That’s the main reason I do an oven seasoning once a year or so. With my electric stove, it’ll get the bottom ripping hot while the sides won’t ever quite catch up.
In the oven I can do an even, set 450-500 and hold it there as long as I like. Then I can shut it off and let the pan cool slowly and evenly.
Needs washed, but you can just heat the oil on the stove if you’ve seasoned the thing in the first place.
