    I love how cast iron is tried and true; My neighbor’s family has been cooking on the same Griswold No 9 for almost 100 years. That pan has cooked thousands of meals and still going strong.

    I enjoyed this video all the way through. I wasn't taught anything about cast iron skillets even though I saw my family use them. Out of curiosity, I bought one & I struggled with getting it not to stick. Now I have a few of these gems made by Lodge & I recently bought the round griddle for pancakes. I learned a few things in this video. One, the rough texture does not necessarily meaning non-stick. Also, I've been using paper towels all along but never thought about using a cotton cloth. Goodbye paper towel dust. I enjoy learn anything & everything I can about cooking with Cast Iron. All of mine are made by Lodge, still American made. The quality is outstanding. It is true, if you take care of them, they will last, unlike many things made today, unfortunately. Thank you for making this video.

    Another way to season a skillet is to cook cornbread in it. Be sure to put a good layer of oil to your HOT skillet before adding the batter. 1/2 of the recipe from the Aunt Jemima bag or a box of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix is perfect for an 8 inch skillet.

    I recently got the wildlife set, they are very spartan and It is actually what I like about them ,old school rough and tough Yankees stuff, so I followed the instructions from few guys on UA-cam and the sanding process makes the pan quite good from day one, just don’t go crazy sanding the guts out of them, just work on the inside bottom of the pan where the food is going to cook, that’s enough, then immediately after rinse and dry start to cook on them, I used it straight away for shallow frying, then I cooked fish fillets, then potatoes, in one dinner I made the pan reseasoned very well I did’t need to use much oil after that. Also they don’t take too much to heat up and they keep heat for very long, very nice pans, i’ll Buy some carbon steel just for easy and quick stir fry from De Buyer. For sanding I used rust stripping brush drill attached to eliminate the seasoning and the big knobs, then quickly one after one I use 40, 80,120, and 240 grit mesh sanding pads for orbital sanding less then 1 hr I have completed the all job, taking more to write this, have fun peps!

    I read that cooking in cast iron helps put a natural iron supplement into your diet so I bought a Lodge pan. I didn't like it at first because following all the seasoning advice in the WORLD wasn't stopping eggs from sticking! Well, I FINALLY managed to get it seasoned by putting a lid on it and leaving it on the burner on top of the stove on low for a few hours, then I fell in love with it! So my mom gave me a bunch of cast iron she wasn't using, including a really old one that she bought back when I was a kid! So now I'm rocking the cast iron in my kitchen. And I season them with lard and they're awesome!

      @@talmadgewilliams8831 350 isn't hot enough to polymerize most of the oils that you would use to season cast iron. You season in an oven set 25-50 degrees hotter than the smoke point of the oil you're using for seasoning.
      Still, seasoning isn't what prevents sticking. Cooking technique is what makes the difference. Use lower settings than what you would use otherwise.

      Check out carbon steel cookware, too. It doesn't hold eat as long as cast iron but it transfers heat better. My favorite brand is De Buyer. They are as slick as glass and eggs just slide around a properly oiled pan. Solidteknics is another really cool brand. They make wrought iron cookware. It's like a cross between carbon steel and cast iron. Little less weight than cast iron, but still holds heat and transfers heat like carbon steel. I have way too many pans at this point. I'll never buy another nonstick, though.

    For what it's worth: I have several vintage cast iron pots and skillets which I purchased at the local flea market. These were covered with rust inside and out and had to be cleaned and re-seasoned. I also have a number of newer (after 2010) Lodge pots, wok and other cookware which I used straight out of the box. Pride directs me to favor the vintage cookware. I brought them back to functionality with my own hands and I like that smooth inner surface. Functionally, there is really no difference. Nothing sticks to any of them during cooking. Key is to heat cookware to cooking temperature before dropping in cold food. Best item in my inventory is a Le Creuset 14 inch cast iron wok. 2nd best is a Lodge 14 inch cast iron wok. Never treated either of these. Quick rinse and dry and they're clean for next time.

  • @naomisims7230
    @naomisims7230 2 роки тому +3

    Best to use nylon or wooden utensils, as metal scratches "holes" into your seasoning & things will start sticking. Run hot water (no soap) into your "dirty" cast iron while it's still hot & wipe out any food particles...or remove stuck particles with a wooden or nylon spatula or a nylon bristle brush. Then heat your pan again to dry it well, & put another light coating of oil while still hot, then hang on your wall...or you can place paper plates between different sized skillets to prevent them scratching each other. I store mine stacked on top of my toaster oven, placing a paper plate underneath the bottom one too. My mom used to store hers on top of the refrigerator due to the warmth there.
    If you get any rust, use an SOS pad to remove it, wash with soap & hot water, & re-season it again in the oven.
    If you put your food into the pan when it's HOT, things don't stick (unless it's gravy, of course!), but cleaning it with hot water while it's still hot is the secret.
    Love my cast iron!
    Oh, & don't store your cast iron with the lids on...the "seasoning" will go rancid. Store lids & pots/skillets separately & uncovered.

    I moved in April, I had to renovate my kitchen, school was still in, work- I was busy! Went to make some lamb chops and couldn't find my cast iron skillet....!! I looked EVERYWHERE!! I even accused my mom of stealing it! (And I stole it from her years ago!) long story short, I have a Calphalon set, I had to use to make my lam chops and I hated it. I just stopped cooking altogether. You become attached to your skillet. I found it two days ago in the bottom of a box marked "kitchen" (of course I would have missed that) and really felt as if I'd come across family jewels or something. I was seriously relieved.

    A few years of heavy use, and the cooking surface of that pan will be as smooth as a sheet of paper. Our 10" lodge pan was sort of rough when we bought it in 2010. We've cooked with it almost daily ever since. I guess the extra layers of baked in seasoning filled in the tiny pits and made it smooth. Well seasoned iron is so much better than non-stick Teflon.

    Hi I just got the 12" Lodge cast Iron Skillet, it is £52 over here on Amazon. But it is already pre-seasoned so I just whacked a juicy Sirloin on it and it cooked perfectly. You are right about seasoning most other cheap brands of cast Iron pans before use though. But what you do to the Lodge regarding seasoning is essential after every use. Cheers mate.

    Cool video. I've been using an old restored pan for years, but just got my first new one. You mentioned there were other oils that might work for seasoning, like olive oil? Canola oil? Straight butter? 10w40 from my car? What else can I use? Thanks again.

    • @CookingWithCastIron
      @CookingWithCastIron  8 років тому +4

      +Drew Kerlee I had to laugh about the 10w40. Most people use Crisco, or olive oil. Coconut works good also. Any oil that has a higher flash point is better. I would stay away from canola and veggie oil as they tend to get sticky and gunky.... also stay away from the 10w40 =)

      @@CookingWithCastIron Canola and vegetable oils do well if you bake them for an hour at a temperature above their smoke points. I had to re-do my first Lodge a few months ago (the original seasoning failed due to user error; I used to do the heated dry and oil as part of routine cleaning, but it turns out that doing so results in only partial polymerization and can cause seasoning to fail). I stripped it down and did a single layer of seasoning with Canola oil (at 450). No stickiness and it cooks great.

      @@karlrovey I think I made a mistake with mine. I should’ve watched this video first. Bought a 12” pan by Mainstay from Walmart. Since it said it was preseasoned, I went ahead and cooked in it. I started with bacon, which may have been fine. But I threw in a steak in the same bacon grease and some of it stuck to the pan. I tried washing it off with Dawn but not all of the residue came out of the textured surface. So I let it dry and now it looks rusty in the middle. I’m sure it’s just the residue from the steak. So now what do I do?Do I have to strip it? I don’t know how to do that either. My mom has a pan like this, but she never taught me this kind of stuff.
