I've been using cast iron pans for years but still watched this video because *June*
Same!
Same! Lol
Samesies!
Same!
And I thought I was the only one.
More than a lifetime, I have my great grandma’s which is over 100 yrs old and is like a non stick pan it is so well seasoned.
I have my Grandmother’s nest of 3. Over 100 years old as well, factual 💗 the little one was for her favorite egg 🍳 in bacon fat.
I inherited them from my father.
I bought my grill pan over 40 years ago- My 30 year old Nephew has requested to inherit 💕
He will be 4th generation to own and use👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I hate the smell of seasoning cast iron, but it needs to be done so My workaround is I use my grill to season. It's outside so smoke doesn't matter! Bonus pro-tip - because of the high heat of the process I also clean my grill after the pan is cured because everything in the grill (crusties/drippies) turns to charcoal flakes and wipes right off.
That’s a really smart idea 💡. I’m going to try this. Thank you.
This is genius!!! Just straight onto the BBQ grates?
@@whatcanyado6876 I have a propane grill, preheat on medium-high about 10 minutes. I place my pan on a griddle to prevent contact between the flame and the cast iron (to avoid setting my pan on fire, since: oil+flame= 🔥 ) However, I have placed an oiled (seasoned) pan straight into a campfire with no negative issues. I'm just being cautious with my big grill really.
Forgot to finish- cook pan 1 hour.

Is it possible to like a video twice? I need all the June content always!
I will watch anything June is in. Delish better make sure we get more June videos please and thank you!!
Yis
Look at their website there are more video.
@@jalifritz8033 Thank you ♥️❤️
I’ve been hesitant to use my cast iron skillet because of the care. Your tips are 100% the most doable and thorough that I’ve seen. I kept watching videos saying you have to season your skillet in the oven over and over again.
That's the way the elders used to do it. My great grandmother cured her pots in her laundry cauldron over a fire, I was told. Also that there was a rhyme taught about each seasoning layer on a new pan. My grandmother told me when I was very small and she'd let me salt her pans (for cleaning. She used the same salt over and over for this same purpose.) I remember being fascinated with how very smooth/ satiny the finish of the pans were and drawing doodles in the salt. I don't think she relied on my "help" so I don't remember any other steps.
June..like the month..I been cooking my in iron skillets for 50 years..keep it seasoned..never use soap..it will never ever break..and it's healthy to use..🤗
I have my mom’s cast iron pan and HER mom’s cast iron. They have been steadily in use for over 100 years!! That said~~I learned a few good things I needed to know from this video. THANKS JUNE💙💙
I used Weedborn CBD products and healed without any problems.
June is a mind reader..I was gonna ask for her routine for cast iron care & its use 🙃 I have a cast iron griddle that I want to restore back to its original glory. Thank you awesomeness 🙌 😊
Brenda Gantt on FB has good cast iron vid also. June is awesome!
When mine was found pretty gunked up on the ridged side and rusty on both sides, I bought a wire brush (like a grill brush) and went to work. After that, I thoroughly washed it and started the seasoning process. A small, silicone pastry/bbq brush works great for getting oil into the ridges. Happy Cooking!
I just bought a new, small pan at a Tennessee flea mart today. This is exactly what I was going to look up and then you have it on my feed today. Amazing.
We seasoned our cast iron cooking ware once at the start of usage and up until now I have NEVER dried them on heat, just frying it with a kitchen fabric towel and afterwards rubbing a new layer of oil in...
so far (and they have double digits) it works this way, but I sure will try the heat drying soon...
We also found a possibly 70-100 year old cast iron (huge) casserole in our shed from our ancestors and after hours of freeing it from layers of rust and burning it in/seasoning it, this tank of a cooking item is the most durable, spacious and heat retaining thing ever. But this one is ridiculously heavy and to carry it with much food inside is a task for muscular people.
Is no one else feeling this background music that’s been popping up across videos? I love it! It’s so June 😍
Yea it’s quite uplifting
I click so fast when I saw June's name!
I just love June's videos everytime i see June come up on a new video i just have to watch it i think its because she show's everything and explains a lot of information plus she is my favourite host on Delish ...DID YOU HEAR THAT JUNE!! (Your my favourite host ) 🤗
June you look SO BEAUTIFUL! I love this look. The shaved head/braid/headband combo is 🔥❤️❤️❤️
I just got one in Feb and it honestly terrifies me! I needed this video and may have to watch it more than once! Fred is absolutely adorable!
Love my cast iron pans I have 2 that were passed down from my great grandmother that are over 100 yrs old.
I have 3....my treasures
Oooooh Vitamix tips next please!
Yes, that would be good!
That is the one thing I love about cast iron skillets, you can go from stove to to oven.
I love my cast iron pans! I used to buy really cheap nonstick pans when my kids were growing up and just replace them all the time, and then I made the switch to cast iron and trained my family in how to deal with them. We all adapted and I'm so glad to not have that nonstick coating flaking off. Also, I found little padded handle covers that I use when I need to pick up a hot pan.
I've really started using my cast iron pan way more in the last few months, thanks to June 😃 At least the little one. Imma need to get stronger before I start using the big boi. 💪🏻
I love this video June! i remember being 9y/o cooking out my moms cast iron - then after washing it she had me put it on the stove, turn on the heat & apply a layer of crisco oil to it while i used a paper towel to rub in the oil to ‘seal it’ as she told me. I never knew much more about cast iron than that. You know I don’t even have one today but I keep seeing it used & I think I want to get one again. Great video! 😊
The you for showing me how to properly season my pan. I was afraid and now I’m excited. Your rock. 🥰
Kudos for dispelling some of the intimidation factor behind one of the best workhorses in the kitchen.
Oh, I also dig the "found object" fun at the beginning of the video, and the Fred cameo at the end, lol.
I just bought a cast iron skillet and needed some guidance so thank you June. Once again, coming in clutch. You are literally the only reason why im subscribed to delish.
thank you!
amazing that June can toss the pan with one hand. wrist strength of a true chef. I struggle lifting mine with both hands.
Oh man I bought a cast iron pan about a year ago but i've always been too scared to use it outside of meat and deep frying incase liquids, eggs or tomatoes un-do the seasoning i've done to it. This video is a saviour. Thanks, June!
I really liked June's explainer. I would like to buy a cast iron pan but I've always felt a little intimidated by the seasoning/cleaning process. No more!
Yessssss! This is the video I’ve been waiting for! ♥️
Thank u ! I just got my first set of cast iron as a gift and this video is by far the best one I found on how to take care of cast iron
Always here for any June content!! 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you, thank you, June! I resisted buying cast iron for so many years because I had such bad experiences in the past with food sticking and getting ruined. Thanks to your video, I had the confidence to take the plunge and add cast iron to my cooking arsenal. You're the best!
OMG June! You're the funniest, most inspiring, entertaining, AND informative chief! I love your videos!!!!
I got my first Cast Iron skillet a few weeks ago and I am so glad to have this guide
Plus, that June content that we love!
Thanks June as always right on point. I've absolutely love my cast iron pans. And you are correct the more you use the the better they are.
Hey June & Aaron! Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you for the easy explanations you gave on seasoning cast iron pans.
Thank you so much for posting this! I was just gifted 3 cast iron pans and was just about to look up how to do all of this. June to the rescue!
I literally needed this video because I used my cast iron skillet this morning after a few months and don’t know how to clean it
Thank you for this video! Google was confusing, I needed June for this. I’d love more basics/tips from June. Maybe how to make sauces or what spices pair well. Anything would awesome bc she’s the besssssst!
I am relieved that you advised to oil after washing. I have acted on the belief that you should store your cast iron skillet with a little oil film to avoid rust. I had a landlord complain that I was disgusting for not completely cleaning the skillet. I appreciate the specific advise for how the pot should look after oiling.
This is so helpful! I'm terrible at taking care of my cast iron and part of it is that I've never been exactly sure how to do that. Thank you, June!
Best cast iron video! Thanks
Thank you! This video came just in time for me
Happy weekend! I love a good June video!
Checking to see if I’m taking care of my cast iron properly :)
Wonderful video and so helpful. It took me years to find this out. I did not know about the polymerization and that explains so much.
I ended up watching this video after you mentioned it in your livestream video and I’m so glad I watched this
Would LOVE to see a day/week of cooking with cast iron challenge. It will give cast iron newbies (me) ideas on different ways and things to cook with this heavy piece of metal. Thanks!
Great timing! I just bought a new set yesterday.
I have some stainless pans that are nice and all but I use my cast iron every day. I even bought two 15" cast iron pans to use for making pizza. Perfection. Thank you so much for tackling this topic!
Good info. Thanks June.
This is awesome. Thank you.
Very helpful &&& useful !! Thanks June!!
Thank you for saying about the smokeyness!! When I seasoned mine the room got a bit smokey and I was worried I'd done it wrong! Thank you!!
I've primarily used carbon steel pans for most of my cooking because that's what my family is used to (my grandparents are from Europe and people over there use CS pans more than cast iron skillets over there) but started using cast iron after seeing so many people on UA-cam used them. I already know how to season and clean carbon steel pans so transitioning to cast iron wasn't difficult at all. I wished I invested in cast iron skillets sooner. It's better for shallow frying and baking compared to carbon steel in most cases. The best part is that cast iron tends to be cheaper than carbon steel as well. A Lodge cast iron skillet in the U.S. is $10-30 in most cases. My De Buyer carbon steel pan is usually $50+ (unless you get the smaller crepe pans or so). There are cheaper alternatives but those tend to still be more expensive than cast iron in general. The boutique/antique cast iron pieces are great as well. Got my mom a Finex and she loves it. I recently restored an old Wagner cast iron skillet and I love it more than my Lodge so far.
While I still use my carbon steel pans more (they're lighter, easier to maneuver food with, and more convenient to use for most of the cooking I do), I think a cast iron skillet is a better all rounder that will be more accessible to most people.
Can you do an episode on carbon steel woks? Chinese woks are probably the BEST for cooking. You can steam, bake, make omelets in them. They are essentially a minimalist cooking tool. Round bottoms verses flat... you can EVEN make dim sum in them! Delish✌️
Omg, brilliant video idea. Yes I NEED one and I’ve been postponing the purchase due to fear!
I usually season mine every 6-7 usages on the stove top. Last week while up at my mom's cabin I had to fix her lodge Dutch oven on the wood stove. I have cooked on it before. But never had to season a pan on it. But It worked!
Very useful. Thanks so much.
June makes everything seems so easy that we attracted to do it
You are the one and only person who addressed the fact that seasoning DOES NOT MEAN ADDING “delicious spices” to the pan. I’m guilty of needing clarification 😬
Originally, bacon grease or lard was used. I guess that's why it was called seasoning the pan.
Hey June. Thanks. I always have questions about cast iron. Shouldn’t be so difficult, it’s a piece of cookware.
I've bought a few lately and I love my Victoria 12 in skillet. It has a longer handle and it's not as thick as some so it's lighter. The inside of the pan seems to have a smoother surface than other ones I got which is a plus for me.
Thank you!
Very nice. Thanks.
Thank you June!!!!
Thank you, for this videoI I really never knew how to properly care for a iron skillet.
cast iron! for life!
Thanks June, that was nice!
Great information!
Thank you, June! 😭😭😭
I love you, June . . you are the best!!💖🌹
She is an angel. Thanks for letting me know that you don't have to season after every use. I brought a cast iron wok for some of my vegan meals.
Love u June🤗 I say you should have ur own channel..
More budget meals please... especially around items that you get from the food pantries
Thanks June!
This is great and makes me confident to finally consider purchasing cast iron! Would love to also see a video on cooking with stainless steel. I am so done with non stick.
I think the term "seasoned" in this instance is similar to meaning of a person who is seasoned: it's been around a long time, and has seen many seasons throughout the years. The pan has been used many times throughout it's many seasons it's built up layer upon layer of burnt oil coatings.
omg thank u june i love u
Just got a cast iron skillet ❤️❤️ thank you
i love my cast iron pan! at first i found it annoying to season it etc. but once you start using it its the best thing ever!!!
I basically didn’t like mine for the first two years then finally one morning, what felt like it came out of nowhere, I could flip a fried egg like it was nothing
Best pan I ever bought!😆
Thanks June
June, you lovely woman, thank you for all the information and fun.
I want to tell you that I am an experienced and confident cook, BUT, hey waddaya know?, you've made me try more spices in my dishes. Sure enough, they are better. I never shied from ground turmeric, cayenne or cinnamon, but sparingly. I started with pimentón español (paprika.) I shall venture further. Giving you your well-earned props.
We cook everything in ours - all nationality of cuisines - desserts - everything. We use coarse salt or a small amount of dish soap for anything that doesn't rinse off. The no soap rule was meant to prevent people from using lye-based soaps on their pans. We don't use lye in our dish soaps anymore, so it's no big deal if you rinse it out. Just don't soak them in soap or your next dish will have that taste residue.
Wonderful
Thanks June! Making flours in the Vitamix.
Awesome June......
For anyone reading who is hesitant about the whole seasoning process & thinking it sounds like a lot of work... it's really not a frequent thing at all. It *can* be, but it's totally not necessary.
Buy a preseasoned pan (like Lodge), and as June said, just be generous with your fat in the pan. Clean with hot lightly soapy water (or just hot water) in the sink, get a scraper to scrape off crispy bits, and only use a sponge gently. Put it back on the burner to fully dry - this is important so it doesn't rust.
You could definitely get away with only "properly" seasoning your pan like once or twice a year. Is that how you're "supposed to" do it? Probably not, but the great thing about cast iron is that it doesn't matter. They're basically indestructible. (Just don't put it in the dishwasher.)
We love ❤️ you June
Yay new video
how did June know I just used my cast iron to make breakfast and was looking for how to take care of it 😂
I also made potatoes this morning in my cast iron and had stickage! It left me wondering what I was doing wrong!
me too! perfect timing 😊
June knows
Omg looks good
I bought a cast iron last month i love it . i dont season it but i still youse it
that lid trick also works when grains like oatmeal or rice stick to the bottom of a sauce pot.
The only pans in our kitchen are cast iron pans (we have four, they stay on top of the oven at all times). Watched because - June.
Same😉 but I have a few other select pans 😊
I have 3 and never used them, because I made it wrong ( the seasoning). Did it like June told yesterday.....works perfektly
Those bananas by the windows @3:42 look perfect
I'm obsessed with my cast iron! I even did loads of research before I got it so I could properly care for my baby!
