My mom would scrub her cast iron skillets with soap and water, dry them off, wipe them with a lite coat of bacon grease, wipe that down and they were ready for another use on the wood burning stoves. That was way back in the 60s and used them up to the 2000s. The old school people could cook up some food with their kitchen skills and better than the technology in cooking out today.
@@50STONEhW make uh shepards pie
@@shanecrosse431 I was thinking about doing that. Those are some good eating.
Dude. I washed my wife's CA skillet. And you have now saved my life and my marriage.
Is it just me, or does anyone else get happy when they see a notification from AB? 😀😀
Yes, his kitchen and deck are nice.
🙋🏾♀️I get happy when I’m notified. Love this channel!
😁👍
😁🤤
@@SmokinandGrillinwithAB AB...I live in Sacramento, where are you opening a restaurant?
My mother gave me her cast iron skillet. She’s passed away but I guarantee that the skillet is well over 150 years old.
that's a treasure
Blessing
Pass it down, family treasure.
Shout out to your mom yeah that has to feel like love
Really 🤔
Not really understanding the 22 thumbs down. But hey, some people live that type of life. Everything this brother lays out on UA-cam,is simplified and makes more people's lives easier and more pleasant. Heck, I thought everyone loves good cooking and a clean/organized cook. AB, you are the go to guy for many of us. Thanks👍🏿👍🏿.
That's what's up Eric :) Thank you. Haters are everywhere but actually when you reach a lot of people that comes with the territory :/
You got bigots that will hate anything involving a black man and other assorted haters.
A friendly Hello, Eric...I love this channel & think what makes it extra special is JB is also such a *likable* man outside of his kitchen expertise...He's the "real deal"...
They are announcing to the world that they are smucks. They probably don't get any attention in their personal life so they go around trying to make other people feel bad.
I doubt the dislikes are due to the colour of AB’s skin… I would wager that it’s due to the controversial world of cast iron care. Some people say don’t use dish soap, some do. Some say don’t use olive oil, some say don’t use paper towel, it goes on and on…
Whatever works for you and if you’re happy with the results that’s all that matters
My Mother passed 3 mth ago.. I have her all her cast iron skillets.. Thank you for this video. I can wait to Seasoning.
This should be the only video you need to watch. He is right about the OIL, it is your choice as long as it gets oiled several times. I prefer corn oil only because it has a higher smoke point (450). This man is on point with this process
They also say flax seed oil is really good

My favorite cooking channel on youtube, and I just recently got my first cast iron skillet, this video was very helpful and I am currently following your steps to getting my cast iron stick proof! Thanks Chef AB!
Great video, AB. You made this process easy to understand and rather uncomplicated as you always do. Thanks for sharing this one.
Thanks so much for this! I messed mine up and never knew how to bring it back! Now I do! Thanks AB 🙏🏽❤️
It was good seeing you season the Cast Iron pans, the results were amazing. I am new to cast iron about three years now. The lesson is easy to follow.
Thank you AB for the instructions on how to season a cast iron skillet AB is amazing and very skilled in his cooking skills and I love how clean his kitchen is
Thank you i needed this, this process was fortunately not passed down to me just as yet, and thats because these women are still living and cooking with their skillets! Thanks i will give this a go.
Thank you for showing me how to seasoning my cast iron. I just brought me a small set. I always wanted them because we had them growing up. I didn't know how to used them. Now am going to try cooking with them. 😊
Great video. I just got a set of iron skillets, and I’m excited to use them. Simple and to the point.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Came across your video this am. Did such a lousy job of seasoning my skillet, it's 5am, I scrubbed it clean, starting the process. Thank you so much. A new subscriber. Last 450, the skillet looks great! Mesa, AZ January 21, 2023
Excellent presentation and informative! No useless fluff, just the basics on a “how to do” that anyone can use for reference.
I have lots of cast iron in different stages of shiny to rusty. I have obsessed over many videos. Each one has only part of the picture. Your video covers all the bases (starting with using soap and never again). Your steps make the confusion clear. 2023 cast iron here we come!!!
AB, you are a national treasure. I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you.
I know this is two years old but I just bought the double handle lodge skillet exactly like yours and sanded it smooth on the inside and I absolutely love it.
IM SO HAPPY I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL KING. YOU'VE HELPED ME OUT IN THE KITCHEN SO MUCH. NOW IM ABLE TO FEED MY WIFE AND KIDS A LOT BETTER NOW. THANK U SO MUCH FOR BEING INFORMATIONAL. I'LL LOVE TO SUPPORT U
19 years young and bought a cast iron at Marshall’s a couple days ago for $15! Wilkinson brand. My friend asked if it was preseasoned and i came here. Followed the steps and it came out glossyyyyyyyyyyy. I only messed up on the handle by not making it even. This was so fun and i plan on keeping it for the rest of my life.
I’m 20 and just bought one yesterday 😂
I'm 33 and just got mine from Amazon
22 and just got one lol
I'm 62 and still use the first one I bought 40 years ago at a flea market. I do all my cooking in either Cast Iron, Enameled Cast Iron, or a Carbon Steel Wok. I think I have 15 pieces of Cast Iron. Fry potatoes and deep fry French fries when you start cooking and it helps build up seasoning. Also bake cornbread or brownies in them. It helps them become more nonstick. Then it will cook meat without it sticking and make cleaning easier.
Just picked one up at tj max, Lodge Cast Iron, for 12$
This video was perfect for me. I have my 1st cask iron, I've done everything you said And all the lil issues you talked about I had. You made me feel so much more confident. THANK YOU
Thank you for this video! I was not taught how to cook so I have to research EVERYTHING. I went through many articles and videos… couldn’t get a straight, simple answer… and then I found yours! Very helpful. Thank you for posting!
I just discovered your video! I’m born and raised in the South, and I absolutely love this! Nothing beats cooking food in a cast iron skillet! 😋😋
Hi AB, congrats on your second anniversary. I watched some of the podcast. (Will finsh watching soon). Just wanted to say that first. Also, thank you for all the wonderful meals you make for us all. My favorite line, "I'm not finna overtalk it". By the way, I made your Pot Pie for my family and they've been asking when will I make it again. So that tells you, I am definitely a happy viewer. I made other meals as well. Keep being awesome and I see nothing but more success coming your way. Thank you for making us all feel like we are right in the kitchen with you and the authenticity that come along with it. It's the authenticity for me. Thank you!
I have a lot of CI and have watched a lot of videos of how to season them. But this is by far the best one I've found. For you to be so young, you did a fantastic job! Kudos to you and keep up the great work.
Great video. After oiling I use Scott blue shop paper towels to wipe off oil. The towels are great for absorbing the oil and not leaving lint after wiping like white paper towels will do. I also put a large baking sheet pan on the bottom of the oven to catch oil drips.
Over the last year I’ve watched at lease 5 vids on this subject. This is the best. Straight forward and wow, what a beautiful finish. Ty
I love your channel! My wife and I binge watch your videos and use a lot of your recipes. I recommended your channel to a ton of people. Keep up the hard work! God bless
Nothing but the truth!!! I followed this video to a T. Used Avocado Oil spray (500F smoke point) and my cast irons could not have turned out better. Rust prevention worked so well I wish I could put my truck in the oven. Thank you for making this video. You’ve got another subscriber after this one. Amazing!
Hey AB great show great food. I've made a couple of your recipes and they came out good.
I'm glad someone finally showed how to season pans without all the agada at other places.
I do just like you, after a couple of years scrub them down and start over.
Thanks for the recipes and the knowledge you pass on.
I was looking for a video to send my buddy, and this video does it perfectly. Better than most. Too many people miss steps or overcomplicate it. This video was perfect man!
One of my favorite channels to watch on YT. Always informative and entertaining. Great video AB! Thank You for sharing.
My grandma still does it that way. And I've kept the tradition going and showing my posterity the same. Great content brother.
I have been wanting to know the right way to season my skillet properly. Thank you for this!
Thanks AB got a couple of skillets passed down from my grandmother probably close to 100 yrs old. Even got one that is very thin 1/4 high sides I used to make pancakes. I gotta stip and re season some of the other ones using your method that's old school right there!!!
Thanks for simplifying this process! I have three that need that exact treatment! Love what you do, Brother! Thanks, again!
I was just in the middle of cooking fish with my cast iron when you posted this. Never knew you had to season it at times like that. I always washed it then coat it with olive oil and put it away. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Great video I bought a cast iron last week I've used it a few times and already made a couple of mistakes but will remedy these now thank you no more dish washing soap will go into it and I will spend my Sunday seasoning it. Thank you and nice kitchen!
Just found ya my friend. I bought my first cast iron skillet and was intimidated what to do with it. You made it simple. Many thanks and much love to you from Montreal.
You are my hero! I grew up with cast iron all my life and still I use them everyday! I watch so many videos of how people season there pans and most people doing the wring way! Great job!
I’m looking into getting a set of cast iron pans to add to my collection and this is very helpful. Thank you AB for this.
Look up kent rollins on youtube. The man is funny and teaches you EVERYTHING there is to know about cast iron and recipes. Worth a look like this channel is. He's actually the exact opposite AB lol. Skinny, white country AF and loud haha.
Because it’s wrong
Thank you for keeping it simple and straightforward!
That finger trick was the best explanation on how the seasoning bonds to the skillet
This video was a true gem.Seasoning the cast fry pans always confused me,so I never did it, I finally have the knowledge
Thanks a million AB
i
I have been cooking with cast iron for a long time and have trying to keep my cast iron up. This is by far on of the best videos I have seen on seasoning your cast iron. I guess I didn't realize you just keep putting more and more layers on back to back. I got my rain day all figure out . Thank you for your very well done / informative video.
Outstanding video. Showed and described the whole entire process from the very beginning, still managing to show alternatives and considering other possibilities for other people. And don't get me started on how meditative it looks like it is to wipe the grease off and on!
Thanks a million just bought my first set of cast iron pots and pans this video helped tremendously!!!
Thanks AB, whenever I check out instructional cooking vids, I usually check out at least 3 for the same subject/recipe so I can get multiple perspectives but I always make sure you are one of them if you have a vid up. Reason being, you are the best at teaching the methods out of any UA-camr. Appreciate you!
I do the same thing lol
Hey AB, you are definitely my favorite on UA-cam! As my new hobbie is cooking you have taught me how to cook so many delicious meals. Thank you for making it simple and easy! Please do a lamb stew. 😊
I got my chainmail and stainless steel scrubies from Amazon two days ago. I'm seasoning my old cast iron skillet the real way right now! Thank you, AB!
AB put me on to cooking so far I have to just pick out a dinner idea to surprise my best friend (she’s swears she’s a better cook plus she’s visiting for the first time ) so much love AB if you ever read this 💯🙏🏽
Thanks for the simple straightforward videos. Believe it or not just today I noticed a perfectly sized old cast iron skillet hanging in the shop. I was wondering how difficult it would be to bring it back to life? You made it look simple and easy. After I get it brought back to life I'm going to get rid of the cheap skillets that I have now.
Thank you for this! My mom has been talking about seasoning hers for a while. I bought her all brand new set and cast iron Dutch oven for Mother’s Day but she still wants to season her old ones. I’m 22 and learning from her 💕
Just remember coated ones don't get seasoned.
Had no idea I was taking care of them wrong this whole time. Just found your channel and you have a new fan, good sir.
This is exactly how I do mine. Gotta get a clean slate to start with. Awesome video sir!! Came back to say, the explanation of how porous cast iron is, explains a lot. Thanks again.
This video came right on time!! I was literally trying to figure out everything that you showed! Thank you❤️
Thank you for putting this video together! I've watched others, yet yours have caught my attention. I'm following the instructions right now. I'm currently on to my second cycle of placing my pan back into the oven. If time permits, I will try for at least three oven cycles. I will update my comment to let you know how it turn out. Thank you again.
How’d it turn out? I’m doing mine now
Thanks man I have been trying to save my grandma's for almost a month now and this process finally worked! Much appreciated
As soon as your video was over I gathered up my Dutch oven and 3 Wagner skillets and got started wow they turned out beautiful.
Liked and subscribed ( THANK-YOU )
Hey 🆎I’ve actually restored cast iron pans I found at my Granny’s house. My Mom was ready to toss them. I use what I have too to get that nice sheen. Cast iron is the best cookware ever.
That can on the stove contained bacon grease for whatever it was needed for.
Haven't been a cast iron skillet cooker yet but now that I'm ready to be I couldn't think of anyone else's video to learn the tips and tricks from than you brotha, appreciate the explanations.
Thanks for explaining the reasoning for certain steps so clearly! I finally understand how to season a cast iron pan. Thank you! Been wondering why my food has been sticking to the pan so much.
I found you on Thanksgiving this past year. It was my first Thanksgiving I was hosting in our home. And you and your recipes made it one to remember. Thanks for this too! I got a cast iron for Christmas and it said "seasoned" and I didn't believe it and I'm glad I didn't 😂
LOVE how showed in detail about seasoning. I only did the process once all my life and wondered why it takes so long for it to get “non-stick.” I do wash them every few months with dishwashing liquid but don’t plan to do that anymore either. Thank you SO MUCH for this wonderful information!
Yw! Thanks for watching!
I loved your video over all the others I watched. It’s honestly the realest and not over complicated which is what I was looking for.
Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! I've been looking for a proper way to take care of my pan ever since my mother got me one of my own. Your the Man!!!
This couldn’t come at a better time since I’m looking at buying one. Thanks AB!
Buy American made cast iron. Never China.
Go to a thrift store and buy one there!! Already broken in😃
Don’t buy Lodge cast iron, they’re no good. Get a really old one at tag sales or thrift shops.
Definitely gonna put this video in a playlist. Because my cast iron is struggling!
Great video. I already knew much of this stuff, but didn't understand to repeat the process 4 times. That's a game changer. Thanks.
I've had a skillet in my closet for about 10 years and was always too intimidated to season it. We bought a Blackstone Griddle this summer and we love it then I remembered I had the skillet. I will be seasoning it tomorrow. Food is just so much better in the cast iron. I see a large purchase of pans in my future. I loved your video. Thank You for making it so easy. Stay well and God Bless
Thank you for making this video. You’ve explained this process much better than anyone else I have seen. This video is a gem. I have one question. How often should I season my cast iron pans? Again, thank you for making this video.
Cast iron cookware is so great to cook with. I have several different sizes. Cornbread, different shape pans. I love cooking with them.
I totally agree!
My Mother in Law passed down one of her cast iron skillets to me as a wedding gift! I have been trying to take care of it! This simplifies it it for me! Thanks so much! Now I can pass it down to my girls!
dang i really liked seeing the differences between 2, 3 and 4. its was actually noticable. Ive never had to "reset" my cast iron yet but now i got a solid foundation on how if i ever have to.
So far all my glorious steak cooks have kept my cast iron looking prime
Thanks AB for this demonstrate. I'll have to start using my cast iron again.🔥
:)
Thank you for this! I recently got a new cast iron skillet, and my daughter put it in the dishwasher to clean it before using. 😳😩🤦🏽♀️ It's good now. She knows it needed some oil, so they're both doing well! 😂
Hi AB, just watched your replay to season a cast iron skillet. Thank you for making it simple. Now I will have a go at seasonig my cast iron skillet.
Dude thank you so much! Ive been wanting to get cast iron for a long time and I just got my first "Pre seasoned" set. This video is awesome and super helpful!
This is a process but it’s very satisfying and worth it.
I reset my cast iron from this video. I now clean the pan with kosher salt and water with only a sponge. I then heat it in the burner to dry it and put a fresh layer of crisco on the hot metal. No food is sticking and I don't need to heat it in the oven. Do this every time you cook.
Thanks, AB!
Im going to try this
Thank you for the detailed tutorial! This was super helpful my pan was in rough shape but I think I can get it back on the right track now.
Thank you, for being so honest and making thing simple.
Thank you AB...for this video. Just ordered my first cast-iron from Amazon should be here in a couple days, the description said it was preseasoned but... I have heard this needs to be done. Got to get me some Crisco! Can't wait to try some of your cast iron recipes when I get my new Skillet. Keep cooking as always! Love you much
Amazing! I’ve thrown out a few cast iron skillets because they rust on me and I never knew you would revive them after rusting because, you know, rust = bad. You’ve inspired me to ask my husband for a few cast iron skillets for Christmas! This is super simple and I trust your instruction and judgement!
For future reference- unless there are literal holes in it you can almost always fix a cast iron skillet. Really bad ones require some stuff like electrolysis but theyre almost always restorable
I Picked up a couple of small cast Iron pans last week one is a#2 Pitty Pat’s Porc the other one has no markings The small one was heavy rusted got it cleaned up with a brass wire wheel and a goof Brillo pad. Washed them very well now going to do the seasoning like you have taught us thank you for the great video!
I've had my own cast iron skillet for a couple of years, but never really felt like i got as much use out of it as my nonstick. Recently tho i've been using the cast iron a lot more and i've been having a ton of fun cooking stuff on it. Seasoning always felt like a mysterious chore that everyone had a different opinion on, but I feel a lot more confident after watching your video. thanks!!
Thank you for this it is so needed!!!
I’m taking notes right now💜👀
You're so welcome and enjoy!
That’s for the video. I have been throwing my cast iron pans away and buying new ones. Now I can save some money because now I know how to clean them!
Me too. 🤫 😂
😂😂😂😂
Throwing them away? Damn. What a waste.
I've recently inherited a 7 piece cast iron set including (2) skillets, a chicken fryer, dutch oven, griddle and lids. They need seasoning and this video is right on time!
Thank you AB, that’s very educational, I wasn’t sure if i was cleaning and seasoning mine right, now I know not to use soap after every use 👍🏼!!! Now gonna order a few trivets
Nothing will season a cast iron skillet like some good 'ol Crisco!
Bacon grease too
That is all you need. Nothing fancy and bacon grease or lard.
Crisco is NOT the same formulation as it was 50 years ago.
@@OGKenG Nothing is the same formulation it was 50 years ago.
The Crisco with the Blue label not that Yellow label
Literally just bought a cast-iron skillet yesterday, perfect timing 💯 you the man AB 🔥 🐐smoking & grillin from Rhode Island
Those cast iron skillets look brand new after you finished seasoning them. Excellent demonstration AB. 🍳
I watched many videos and this was for me the best one about how to season a cast iron skillet!! Thanks AB!
I literally didn't know you don't wash with soap once seasoned. Thank you Ab!
I infuse bacon grease with honey whisky. I season my pan with that. It’s also good (in small amounts) to cook with.
Thanks for this video. I use my cast iron pans often and needed to know the real way to maintain them. Keep up the great videos. We love you here in NOLA🤗
Thanks for this! I have my grandmothers and moms, in need of reseasoning. Plan on passing them down to my son. I will share your video with him.
