    A seasoned Cheff told me to put 1/4 inch of salt in the bottom of the pan and cook it in the oven until the salt turns brown. Then you can cook an egg with out sticking. It works~!

    Great video! I saw somewhere on youtube, someone putting the skillet on the gas stove after rubbing it with oil and once it smokes (plenty of smoke) he season it again with oil, until it smokes, then season (and repeat seasoning) until it becomes dark-brown, then it is ready. This whole thing takes around 20 minutes, but gives the results of many months of seasoning as it appeared.

    Thanks so much for this video. I've a new gas range that's been scorching my expensive stainless steel skillets, even on low heat, so hauled out an old cast iron skillet we used for camping. Not as bad off as your demo skillet, but needing help. I did use steel wool on the slight rusted area, but didn't completely remove the existing finish. Once clean, I went through your seasoning cycle 3 times. I used it to cook burgers last night, cleaned as you demonstrated, then used it for sausages and 2 eggs this morning--no sticking, and it's performing well. This skillet, 8", while perfect for small jobs, needs company. I'm ready to order a 12" for big ones, like pancakes. My old electric cook top didn't produce the hot even heat that makes the cast iron really show off.

    I have a hundred year old cast iron chicken fryer pan that was my great Grandma's. It has been seasoned for so many years that you can almost see yourself in the bottom and nothing sticks to the bottom as long as I allow it to get hot enough before I add my food. I also have Cast Iron that I bought new and it was unseasoned when I bought it, I have had it now for 25 years, I originally seasoned myself in oven at very high heat using crisco shortening placing in oven upside down and also nothing sticks to the bottom as long as I allow it to get hot enough before I add my food. I always use Crisco Shortening on a paper towel to season after rinsed and wiped dry and warmed up after every use. Cast Iron pots and pans are my absolute favorite to use and once you get the hang of how to care for them it is extremely easy and no other type of pan will give your food as good of sear as cast iron.
    PS: The 100 yr old cast iron I have was seasoned all those years using Lard, I have seasoned with Crisco Shortening since I have had it for now around 12 years.

    You can use modern soap in the cast iron with no issues. The reason you couldn’t use soap in the past was because there was lye in most all soap. Lye strips the seasoning. Use modern dish soap all you want.

      Actually it's more of an overall quality you want.
      You're right I'm not saying you're wrong here's the but tho as an exception to what you can get away with if you want high quality you have to do it based off the quality of what you add into it.
      Soap removes a lot regardless of the brand. The goal is to remove exactly what will harm the quality of the food cook bad note that might imply the possibility of getting sick because someone chose taste over health hazardous conditions.

    For eggs, I use my low sided pan. And while heating I spread s drop of butter. The butter and the oil seasoning don’t like to mix ~ which helps the egg not stick. I can literally slide the egg out of the pan and into the plate.

  • @thevagabondsageinthewoods
    @thevagabondsageinthewoods 6 місяців тому

    Looks good. Lovely tutorial. I was warned, however, by an antique dealer friend who collects and sells cast iron, to not use any metal utensils in my cast iron. Apparently the metal flakes away at the pan’s seasoning layer. Also, when storing the pans, never to stack them one inside another without some sort of paper or cloth between each as one pan will flake or scrape away your pan’s seasoning as well. ❤

  • @tonydavila2606
    @tonydavila2606 7 місяців тому

    My cast iron and carbon steel pans are probably the most nonstick pans I own. I’ve never done the oven method because I refuse and I’m lazy. I don’t want to have to bake my pan I just want to cook.
    When I get my new pan, I clean it. Soap and water. I get it extremely hot. Let it cool down. I pour oil until the whole bottom is covered. I put it back on the stove until the oil starts to smoke. Dump the oil out. Wipe all the oil off. And let it cool down on its own. I don’t care what oil I have. Olive oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, beef tallow, avocado oil spray infused with garlic..it doesn’t matter.
    I think seasoning just comes with time. Maybe the oven method to speed it up for your first cook. My first cook looked very much like yours not fully nonstick.
    But I just do all my cooking on it. First ones are normally bacon. Or steak. I always deglaze whether I’m making a sauce or just pour water after it’s cool down a little the “deglaze”. I don’t pour water on a screaming hot pan. Not because I’m afraid of cracking the pan. But because the only thing that I’ve seen ruined my seasoning. It is pouring cold water on a screaming hot pan. Like I had it on the burner for 10 minutes and it threw water at it. But as long as you let it sit for 5/10 minutes before you pour water, you’re good to go.
    I use dawn dish soap, pretty much every time I finish cooking with it. the soap myth comes from old times. And if Dawn dish soap is OK for ducks, it’s OK for your cast-iron pot. Little bit of water, a little bit of soap while the pans still warm . Don’t pour hot because the water will get hot and you will burn yourself.
    I dry it, throw it on the stove till it dries put a tbs of oil and wipe it down. Wipe the surface let it sit till the morning. The whole cleaning process takes 5/10 minutes it’s nothing crazy

    so is it okay if my pan is well seasoned but i see very dark brown tint at the circular creveses of the pan. It doesnt look like rust, is it the oil or rust. I am very confused.

    Prepping for the holidays and needing my cast iron. However, the husband didn't know and let is sit in water and I am attempting to remove the rust in it. Is it normal for a black residue to come off after the rinsing and oiling part?

    Great video, just to let everyone know if you scrub the pan on top of a nice countertop or in the sink it will scratch the surface.

    I made the mistake of adding vinegar to water and boiling/scraping with a spatula to remove some caked on food. This works really well on stainless pans.
    After scrubbing with water and chainmail I put it dry on the stove under low heat to evaporate water and reseason. Before it dried I saw distinct rust spots.
    Hopefully this process solves my problem.

      Cast iron pans are great! And they can last a very long time if well taken care of!

    Could you just burn it off vs. scrubbing? Put it over a hot fire or hot grill? Season with Mineral oil vs. veg oil?

    What if there are just a couple drops of rust? Do I need to do the entire process?

    Older neighbor, quite universally knowledgeable type, recommended Crisco to season it with. Turned out fairly well. This was with a new & larger one. Watching this as I have a medium sized one that's needs restored.

      I always use Crisco to season the Cast Iron pan, and the first thing I cook in the pan is bacon. Usually only takes 2 to 3 times in the oven to season It!
      There are so many different methods, the best way is just get you a cast-iron pan and go to work on it so you’re satisfied !
      Thank you for your video, the next time I will use an SOS pad, I’ve never tried that!👍

    Thank you so much. I let my pan and skillet go 😞 I am so happy to put in the work to get it back into good cooking condition! I will season it 3 times in the oven today and then use it tonight!! Thanks.
