Do I need to season a new lodge cast iron skillet? Folks, we got a brand new lodge 12-inch cast-iron skillet, and I'm wondering? Do I need to season this?
Well, the label here says that it's a seasoned cast iron skillet, but as you can tell, it's not completely seasoned like a well-seasoned skillet should be. Yes, it's pre-seasoned, so let's go ahead and get this thing washed and cleaned up, and I'll show you what I do to one of these.
The manufacturer suggests what to do and what not to do. So when I looked at the lodge cast iron seasoning instructions, I realized we had options to season or not to season.
If you want to know how to season a cast iron skillet the right way, then be sure to watch this video all the way through to the end, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Thanks. I have a 12, but only use it for fried chicken.
You’re welcome Danny!
Didn't trust anybody on UA-cam showing me how to season a skillet i heared somone with a southern accent thanks for the video
Lol thanks @JR Perez!! There is so much stuff out there on UA-cam but I feel like you got to do what works best for you!! Bacon works for this southern boy lol!! You know what I mean don't you!!??
🤣
@@MrCastIron yes sir I lived in Texas when I was a kid now live in nebraska always wanted to learn how to cook in a skillet thats where the best foods are made thank you sir!!!
@@jrperez7921 That’s cool!! Cooking in cast iron is not hard. A couple of things to remember, though, is to pre-heat your skillet first and add a little oil of some kind to it. Well, three, lol! Don’t cook over medium heat unless you are searing meat and especially a good ole fatty ribeye!!
@@MrCastIron we should cook over lower heat? Is that why my pancakes burned?
As soon as I heard the man say “ole” instead of “oil” I knew I could trust this man for anything in terms of southern cooking. Thank you for making this video🤝
There are a lot of “influencers” out there who are perfectly coiffed, with perfectly staged backgrounds... and they over-complicate everything. I prefer down-to-earth people who have actually done what they are talking about for years. Thank you, sir!
You’re welcome and thank you too my friend! We are just trying to help lol!
I don't trust anyone to teach me about cast iron pans unless they pronounce oil that way! 😅 Reminds me of my grandpa.
Lol! That’s the only way I know how! 😂😂
And “seasonining”. And “warsh”.
First off, you sir are exactly what I expected when I wanted to learn how to season an iron skillet. Secondly you did EXACTLY what I thought you would do, cooked bacon!!! Thank you for the confirmation!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you too!
@@MrCastIron yes sir! I cooked bacon on it this morning then scrambled eggs in the leftover bacon grease! Yummy
Youre a diamond, I've just bought one it will be delivered later. I find it hard to trust all these fancy videos but then a bacon-frying American with a Southern accent comes along and shows how its done, I feel confident in my purchase now. And yes sir, I will be frying bacon in it. Much love from the UK 🇬🇧
Lol, that’s funny right there! I’m happy to hear you are getting into cast iron cooking, my friend! We are not fancy, but we are real, and we really like bacon, lol!! Take care across the pond, and let me know how your first pan of fried bacon turns out!! Also, if I can ever help you with anything or answer a question about cast iron, don’t hesitate to reach out, and we will do our best to help! Have a great weekend!

This was a great tutorial! I just received my new skillet. Thank you...Blessings
This man out straight bacon fat onto his pan to cook strips of bacon.
Legendary.

I like this dude!!
Makes me want to sit on a screened-in porch during a thunderstorm and drink ice-cold sweet tea!!
Lol!! If you were here, we would do just my friend!!
Thanks Mr. Cast Iron. I just forwarded this video to my buddy who was asking about seasoning his first ever piece of Cast Iron. 👍🏿
Awesome!! Thank you for sharing this with him! I hope it helps him!! Have a great day my friend!!
I’m glad you said that as I really could not be bothered baking for an hour in an oven then repeating! Thanks 👍
You’re welcome! It’s not really needed to bake them off every time in the oven and this works too!
This video was so helpful because I just bought my first cast iron Lodge Skillet the other day. I will be following your instructions step by step. Thank you for making this video.
You're welcome, and thank you too, Keri! I know you must be very excited to get started cooking in your new cast iron! I would love to see what you make in it!

Honestly the most helpful video on UA-cam about cast iron skillet care, bless this lad.
Thank you, sir!
Thank you for simplifying how to season a new preseason cast iron skillet.
You’re welcome, Marie, and thank you too, my friend!
Feels like I’m in the kitchen with you! I was gifted a cast iron skillet (exact same as the one in the video) a few weeks ago and have never cooked with one before. After thorough research I’ve decided I’m finally ready to give it a go! Thank you for such an informative, simple video. :)
You’re welcome, my friend! I love cast iron, as you can tell, and I think you’ll enjoy your new skillet too! I’d like to see what you cook!! Take care, and if I can ever help you with anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to me, ok!?
I have 60+ pieces of cast iron. Many of them were rusty, rescue pieces that needed some TLC to make them usable, but that is easy. I have used either bacon grease or Crisco to season it, just like my mother and her mother did. Excellent video!
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us my friend!!
As a New cast iron skillet owner, I appreciate the video
You’re welcome anytime, my friend! If you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me anytime, and I’ll do my best to help you, ok!?
Best advice ever! for cast iron, season once and cook, cook, cook. Great video!
Thank you, my friend!! Let’s cook some bacon and season our pans, right!? What do you think!?
Thank you for explaining what seasoning is.! Been watching alot of videos, and this is the first one that actually explained it. Great video!
You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!
Yes, I seen plenty of cast iron videos on UA-cam, but Mr. Cast Iron's videos are the best.
When it comes to care and maintenance of my cast iron I listen to this gentleman.
Thank you.
Hey, we sure appreciate that, my friend! If you ever have any questions or need help with cast iron, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, ok!?
@@MrCastIron Thank you very much for your reply.
I have seen videos where Bar Keepers Friend is used on cast iron skillets, but on the actual container of Bar Keepers Friend it says Do Not Use on cast iron.
I value your opinion; so can you please tell me what you think of using Bar Keepers Friend on cast iron.
Once again, thank you very much.
Yes, it’s a great cleaner for many things. I’ve seen folks use it on cast iron before, but I never have.
Thank you for this video. I've just been given a Lodge 10.25" cast iron skillet as a Christmas present and wanted to know how to prepare it properly. Your video was clear and to the point without the unnecessary waffle. And by chance, the first thing I intend to cook in it to test it out is bacon :-)
You’re welcome, and thank you too, my friend! Congratulations, and I know you must be excited to get started cooking in your new pan! If I may suggest to you when starting to cook the bacon is to add a little oil in the pan and go no higher than medium on heat, or the pan will smoke, and you will burn the bacon! Happy cooking, and if you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, ok!?
@@MrCastIron hello and many thanks for responding to my comment and the additional advice. I managed to cook with the pan ok today. The first 2 rashers did unfortunately stick (suspect I had the heat a little too high), but the remaining rashers cooked fine. I cleaned the pan afterwards and I've re-seasoned it with ghee fat rather than vegetable oil (which I used the first time - unfortunately I didn't have any bacon fat) and left it in a warm oven for an hour. I'll see how things go next time. I appreciate this may take a bit of getting used too.
You’re welcome! It gets better and better over time! If you like cornbread, cast iron makes the best!
Just started cooking with my cast iron 10" skillet and I love it!
Congratulations! I’m sure you will enjoy cooking all sorts of things for years to come! I love cooking in all of mine!
I love your video, your explanation of seasoning a cast iron pan is simple and logical. Thank you and god bless you
You’re welcome, and thank you too, my friend! God bless you also!
I only trust people who call it ool. 😀
I love cast iron so much that I enjoy YT videos watching people season and cook in cast iron 😅
I have what I call my own Lodge family: my baby 6”, mama 10.25”, papa 12”, and grandpa griddle/grill.
Great video and thank you, Mr. Cast Iron!
Cheers from 🇨🇦 Canada
Lol! I love the idea of a cast iron family! That’s too cool! Thanks for stopping by and checking us out, my friend! Stay warm up that way!! 🔥🔥
@@MrCastIron Thank you, sir, and a great day to you 🙂 Looking forward to more of your videos!
You’re welcome! We sure appreciate you following us! Out of curiosity, is there anything, in particular, you would like to see us address in a video?
I appreciate the grass roots explanation. Just picked up the same skillet today and love it!
You’re welcome and congratulations on your new skillet my friend!!
Perfect! Exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you for explaining it the way you did 👍
Any time i get a new cast iron i strip it down to metal and put my own seasoning on it. Not only will it build your confedence in maintaining your cookware, but you will get it almost as good as teflon. I will never buy anything other than cast iron and stainless steel now. With proper care they both will last a life time, so much better than teflon or any "wonder pan"
The southern accent is like a melody 😊. I just bought my cast iron yesterday. This was the most helpful video I’ve seen. You made the concept of a cast iron make sense to me. I’m vegetarian so I will be using vegetable oil in the oven.
Lol! Thanks, Camille! I’m happy to hear you are starting your journey with cast iron! If you ever have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to me, and I’ll do my best to help you out ok!!??
@@MrCastIron Will do! Thank you!
You’re welcome anytime, my friend!!
There aren’t any vegetables 🥗 in vegetable oil. Use avocado oil.
@@OCAZZ1323 vegetable oil is not plant based?
Just saw your video today and bought a new skillet. Thank you for explaining!!!

I'm dead honest, the first thought that came to my mind when I started this video was "He's going to say 'cook in it', isnt he?" 😂 I was right! Lovely advice, and I agree. You get some more flavors in there when you cook with it.
Lol! Was I that obvious?? 😂😂
I'm so glad I found you or I would never use my new Lodge cast iron pan. I didn't know where to start so I just let it sit. Thank you! Cornbread, here I come.

@@tezsal1501 anytime my friend!
Recently picked up a Lodge 11" square flat griddle pan and it is absolutely superb. It said pre-seasoned so I tested it first with some pork chops and it performed very well. I seasoned it properly myself though before I put some premium steak on there - and again it was excellent.
I think animal fats are a great seasoning for people who use their skillet regularly. If you are the kind of person who only uses it for special occasions however, then I'd avoid them as they can go off and add a rancid taste.
Thats great!! Thanks for sharing this with us my friend!
I just found an old (20+ years) lodge pan on the bottom of my grandmothers closet. It is rusted and will need a complete restoration but I am looking forward to doing it while learning more about cast iron. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
That is awesome! If we can ever help in any way, don't hesitate to reach out, and we will do our best to help, ok!?
That's a good tip about the handle heating up. Great video.
Thanks bud!
This seemed more helpful than other videos that talked about smoke points and everything. I think I'm gonna try it like you did, just using some other oil (I don't have bacon grease at the moment)
Love this video. This feller could be family. My momma always said "it ain't that hard. heat the pan on the stovetop til the handles hot. light coat of bacon grease. in oven upside down 450 for one hour. and it gets better the more you cook in it. and you ALWAYS keep that bacon grease." I can hear her talking when he's talking....definitely they are from the same old school. 😃
Thank you, my friend! It sounds to me like your momma was a very smart lady! And as a matter of fact, we may have been in the same class together at school! I think I might have set across from her in class lol! 🤣🤣
Good job bud! Alot of people don't realize that a thin layer of wax is put on these pans before leaving the factory so you always have to wash with mild soap to get that wax layer off. I never understood why they don't give you notice on the packaging of the pan.
Yeah I like to wash anything that has been sitting on the shelf. Who knows what might be on it lol!
That's the way I season my new pre-seasoned Lodge cast iron! Great tips Mike! Have a great day my friend!
Thanks, Charley! It works every time don't it buddy??
I literally just ordered the Lodge 12-inch chef's skillet. I'm using the advice in this video for it's first use, hopefully this weekend.
That’s cool! Let me know how it goes, ok!?
Here in germany most people use potatoes to "burn in" a pean. Use the potatoe peals oil and salt and cook them till they are burned black. That also works as good seasoning.
Also what you told us is so true. Nothing better than using the pan allot exists.
That is very interesting Zydia! Thanks for sharing this with us my friend!!
Finally a straight direct answer
Thanks Marcus!
@@MrCastIron no problem thank you
This video was perfectly timed for me. I recently got a brand new cast Iron and not done anything with it yet. Going to follow your lead on my days off. Thanks for sharing Mike 🙌🏼😊
That’s cool, Jamie!! I love my cast iron, and I’m sure you will too!! You probably already cook in some now, don’t you!!??
@@MrCastIron at work it’s mostly aluminium. Our char grill is cast Iron and the stove tops are cast iron . One of the stove tops is a flat top which you can put food directly on you but we tend not to and just use it for pot and pans.
At home I’ve got a griddle that goes over 2 stove tops at a time. I use that a bit.
That’s cool!! You will love a good skillet and especially for a fatty ribeye steak, and cornbread, and bacon, and eggs and…. Lol
@@MrCastIron 😂 and everything
Eggsackly lol
I have been wanting a cast iron skillet for awhile and on vacation I happened to go by where Lodge makes their pans and went to their factory store. I am probably going to wish I bought more than I did because the prices were fantastic. Now I must season it and start using it.
That factory store is amazing, isn’t it!!??
YAY! Tell 'em seasoning comes as you cook! It's not rocket science and it won't save you if you don't heat your skillet first and add at least a little bit of oil before you put food in your skillet. I see so many people saying they learned from the "experts", seasoned their skillet with a nice thick coat or multiple coats and the first time they cooked, the seasoning flaked off and their food stuck. Cast iron is good for that. It's sad, so many quit because they got bad advice.
That's right, Jerry! You can’t quit because you had something burn or stick. You have to learn what works and what doesn’t!
My mom was from Mississippi. I'd never listen to anyone about cast iron unless they have an accent like Mr. Cast Iron. You must completely ignore the "i" in "oil"...
Plus, anyone whose opinion is "bacon is the best" gets two thumbs up from me...
Lol! Thanks for stopping by and checking us out! I sure appreciate you, my friend!! You get two thumbs up, too, because bacon makes everything better, lol!! 🤣🤣
Just got that very skillet today, my pre owned one had a crack so I had to quit being a tight wad and cough up $11. Watched your video first and am glad I did.

Thanks for this video. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 , new subscriber here.
You’re welcome and thank you too my new friend!! Welcome!!
Excellent episode Mike. It’s very important to get your Cast iron primed and seasoned so you can make some great food! Nothing like a cast iron skillet! A good cook should be able to cook just about anything in a cast iron skillet.
Good point about seasoning being a thin layer of oil on your skillet . I like using bacon grease too. Left you a like my friend. Keep up the good content!
Thank you!! Yes a good oiled skillet and the right ingredients and we could have us a feast lol!! Thanks again for checking it out my friend!!
I’m a first time user with cast iron and I bought the same one you have except mine is a 10”. I’m going to follow this advice. Thanks this really helps especially that I never used one or even seasoned one 😬😅

Thanks, Charley!! I’m ready to cook something now, ain’t you!!??
There ain't nothing better then a beautiful ribeye steak on a nicely seasoned cast iron skillet. Steak butter and Skillets go together like red white and blue.
A cast iron skillet 🍳 is like man's best friend. A good ol dog that's always by your side.
If you ain't cooking with cast iron you ain't cooking
"Ain't that the truth"
???
Thanks for all your videos Mr Cast Iron
I can confirm with a skillet it is not a fast Gordon Ramsey type. I cooked 2 steaks on my skillet and it took about 15 minutes. I prefer my steak medium rare and my momma liked hers medium. Boy I tell ya. I thought the amount of time it took I thot it was gonna be like eating some rubber tires but they came out great. In addition the skillet not only made those steaks perfectly. It got a nice well addition of seasoning layer for the next time I use it
That’s awesome! I love hearing stories like this! You can’t beat a good steak in a cast iron skillet! Thanks for sharing with us, my friend!
@Justin,
Seasoning during cooking.
Our preferred method.
Excellent presentation Mr cast iron!
I thoroughly enjoyed your energy and expertise! Keep up the good work...
Thank you sir! I sure appreciate the encouragement, my friend!
I love your advice. Bought a cast iron skillet a couple of years ago and seasoned it the way you recommended and was very impressed with the result. Since then, I've enjoyed cooking with my pan. Thank you for the simple and common sense approach to this confusing process. I should've made this comment much sooner but better late than never 😊
It's great to hear that, and congratulations on your new cast iron! If you ever have any questions just give me a shout, ok!?
Finally actual southern advice i can use🤣🤣🤣... when looking up this topic I was open to other videos but I was really looking for a southern opinion LMAO. Since I cant ask my grandma whose dancing with Jesus😉. Thankyou
Lol! Well that’s too cool! I’m about as Southern as I can get 🤣🤣!! I hope this helped you and I’d ask you to subscribe if you haven’t already. That way you will get all of our newest content as we create it! Thanks again my friend!! Oh, and I look forward to dancing with Jesus someday too!! 👆👆

Thanks for the info dude! Picked up a skillet and covered that thing in bacon grease Ive been saving. Its baking at 450 as I type. Appreciate you making the video
Sounds great and you're welcome anytime, my friend! How did it turn out?
Got ahead of you there and tested if it was dry enough by putting three fingers directly into the middle of it….handle would have been a better option
Yeah either way can be a little warm to the touch lol!
As soon as I saw him I trusted him with my pans
Thank you my friend!
Thanks for the valuable info Mike. I’m getting better at cooking with my cast iron skillets. I just love them.
You’re welcome, Wendy!! Fatty cuts of meat helps to season cast iron. Sautéing onions does too!
... keep your eye out for cast iron grill pan ... corn bread mold ... Loy will learn lotsa tricks ...
Thanks for checking it out my friend!!
I'm glad you said that the first thing to do is to remove the paper label. I almost left that on...
Lol! That’s right, Jeffrey! We might be surprised at who would leave it on, though!! Thanks for the laughs this morning, my friend!
Thanks for this good tutorial! Bonus that we all get a batch of bacon!
You’re welcome my friend!! Yes the bacon was what I was waiting for lol!!
I love my Lodge cast iron skillet.

Thank you, Karen!! Go get it and clean it up and start cooking, lol!! Just don’t call me late for supper though lol!!

Finally a simple explanation, thank you! Is there any vegan food you could recommend I use to cook first time?
You’re welcome, and thank you too, Mia. Yes, if you like onions, you can sauté onions to help season your skillet!
@@MrCastIron wow thank you so much I will definitely try that!
You’re welcome! Let me know how it turns out, ok?
@@MrCastIron I certainly will! Thank you for taking the time to reply, it’s so kind of you.
My pleasure!
Thank you sir. Love the message here - seasoned 2 cast iron skillets before and just got my third. Wish I never got stressed out with the previous times, going to take your advice for this one especially as I’ve used cast iron for a couple of years so I know a few things about them … not rocket science for sure!
You’re welcome, and thank you too, my friend!

You’re welcome, Charlene! Thanks for stopping by and checking it out, my friend!
I just myself some during the Black Friday sales.
I love cast iron skillets !
Awesome! Cast iron is the best!
I thank you are amazing for saying it's not rocket science to season a skillet lol. Some of the fancy folks will act like you need a degree to learn how to do it. You showed us the easiest way to season that can last us many years of cooking.
You’re welcome and thank you for sharing this with us my friend! Happy cast iron cooking!!
My last Lodge cast iron skillet lasted me six years and I took the advice of a different UA-camr and scrubbed the hell out of it and seasoned it personally but they look so beautifully seasoned right from the get-go I'm wondering if I should even bother removing the original seasoning this time around
1:03 seasoning should not be affected just by washing your pan with soap and water you really need to scrub it off despite what a lot of people think it's definitely okay to wash your cast iron skillet you just need to make sure you're getting off the thin layer of nasty stuff and not scrubbing off your seasoning and make sure you put it back on the burner for a few minutes to dry it
Dont bother removing the seasoning and re seasoning it again...its a waste of time of energy...its good to go if u buy a preseasoned skillet
That’s a good tip when you touch the handle to feel the temp I like that and it works great I tried it yesterday I reseasoned 4 pans , all I have on hand is side pork today but your right everyone likes bacon , thanks Mike.
You’re welcome bud! Wow! Doing 4 pans kept you busy I’m sure!
Great video Mike. I always learn something new when I watch your videos.
Glad to hear it, Barry! Thanks for checking it out, my friend, and have a grea5 weekend, brother!

You’re welcome my friend! Thanks for watching!
You know you country when you say "warsh" instead of wash 😅
I get to this video after watching 12 videos in a row that say "dont use animal fat". I'm using Bacon.
