Bless you and your family for all time, my friend.
Now I'm new to cast iron but the Lodge (spray paint) seasoning didn't react like regular oil seasoning in my electrolysis tank. I find most all my pieces in second hand shops so I don't know where they've been. I lead test them and strip em so I know what's on em. Thanks to you I've learned how to do that. You're my go to guy for cast iron. There's so many bad videos out there that you can't just listen to anyone. Thank you from Dayton Tn.
Absolutely strip the ones that have unknown origins.
Thank you for sharing this video. I love my Lodge skillets. 😊
Super helpful, thanks a bunch!! Happy New Year!!
I strip the Lodge seasoning off with oven cleaner. Then I wash thoroughly with Dawn and scrub brush or stainless scrubbing pad. Dry. Seasoning commences with Crisco at lower temps on the stove top. I buff it down till the surface looks matte instead of shiny.
After watching this video it made me realize, I had no idea what I’m doing! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos for us pea brains!
How did people ever cook without Teflon? 😉 I use cast iron or carbon steel for everything except acidic foods for which I use clad stainless steel. Teflon pans always wear out.
Thank you so very much for your videos, & for being a blessing 😁❤
Thank you for the refresher!
A lot of great information here.
Thanks so much. I love my Easy Breezy seasoning. I'm learning, thanks to you. I appreciate all the instructions you pass along. May God Bless you and yours.
You're absolutely welcome and thank you for choosing Easy Beezy.
I gave the Blacklock seasoning a chance. I was very upset with the purchase until I stripped it and seasoned it again. Now it’s one of my favorite daily users. Great design. Decent price for what you are getting. Just lack luster seasoning.
I do love that skillet though.
They are very over priced! I am happy with the standard Lodge skillets.
My Easybeesy stick arrived today, very fast ship thanks. I’m looking forward to using it tomorrow thanks for the fast ship and love your videos!
Great video and good to see you back with tutorials. Can you share your suggestions on storing the seasoning medium and the cloths that are being used to prevent them becoming rancid. I know you have given me suggestions in the past and would be good to share with all. I'm sure others may have the same question. Keep up the great information and videos.
Putting them in a plastic bag and depressing out of the air will out of the air will help quite a bit. Keeping everything in a plastic container and maybe even in the refrigerator can help.Don't forget that Oily rags laying around can also cause a fire hazard.
I keep mine in a zippered bag in the fridge
Amen ❤ help with the cast iron and encouragement. Thank you!!
Oh No Stephen You said Dish Soap!!! LOL You know the comments are going to come now. Thank you for this video I will be sharing it with all the folks that ask me how to season C.I.
great show. thanks for sharing it
Great seasoning tried it for the first time recently highly recommended
Wow I needed that verse amen 🙏
Thank you for the information sir!
Thanks Stephen for a very informative video. I really like the easybeezy it works great!!!
You are absolutely welcome and thank you for choosing Easy Beezy.
👏👏 thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
Thanks Stephen! That’s good stuff right there! Take care bud!
You're welcome Mr. Cast iron.
Helpful and inspiring ❤
TFS ❤bless you
Be ready, for he will return soon. Blessings to you and yours.
Good info thanks.
OMG! So complicated, but it deserve good care . I just get my pot from amazon, and want to use just to bake sd bread. And I am lost, really I am lost. Thank you for video
Thanks!
Thank you sir… I just discovered your channel and subscribed. I am really enjoying your content as I just love my grandmother’s original skillet (a Wagner #8). Yesterday I picked # 10 Wagner at the thrift store even though the exterior has been abused over a campfire. I just ordered Easy Beezy and am so excited to clean up the #10 if possible. I don’t want to strip it and it looks quite sound otherwise. Wish me luck 🍀 😊
Spot-on advice. Received a modern Lodge set year or two ago. (They didn't realize the difference between my 3-notch pans) Well, I just started cooking frequently in them, deep-frying as much as I could. They are getting so good I may regret paying the premium I did for my 3-notch stuff!
Thank you for your videos a lot of great information I went to the bear trap And the two Blue hens Week before last found some treasures once again thank you
Thank you so much!!! I was just about to sand my Lodge pans! I just want to use them. My 10 is looking pretty seasoned already but my 12” needs some work. Just want to start cooking like mom always did. Boy I wish I could get her old skillet!
You can, but a light sanding will not hurt it and I think that it will help by removing the high points without removing the existing seasoning.
Thanks for the video, and I watched about 5 so far about what to do with a new cast iron skillet and you are the first to say you can use soap after you've cooked with it. All of the others said it's fine the very first time to get it clean from all the handling but everyone of the other video specifically stated that that would be the last time soap is ever used. You have a different take and it's interesting. But my who life I've always been told to never use soap on cast iron.
Thank you for the video and scripture
The middle of my lodge is gray and and not even inside the pan. I washed it when I got it. I heat it up and use hot water and a scratch free scrubber to clean it. Them dry and re heat it up .. I've tried seasoning on the stove or in the oven. I do 450 for 1 and half hours. I've used bacon grease,grape seed and shorting. I use it every day
Good video 👍🍳 I want to tell everyone who views this video about how much I love the "EasyBeezy" seasoning product.
Thank you so much.
Nice new logo&intro!
After you season it as shown, how often would one repeat the process again?
!!! Greeting from Montréal, Québec, Canada !!! Went to my local dollar store 'Dollorama' and just to have some sort of memory of my passed away mother in 1994, I bought a little 6" inch cast Iron pan (does not really feel like the original stuff, but still..._ and going back to the store, found a 8.5" x 5.1" x 1.4" Cast Iron Baking dishmade by 'Betty Crocker' shall use it for the fun of remembering my mother and in the near future, shall buy the REAL DEAL no matter the cost !!! Looking foraward to buying a 'Corn Bread' Cast Iron mold and start ENJOYING the spelndid flavor of crusty corn bread fresh from home !!! If you wonder WHY I chose a Priest Image for my identification it is because in 2005, I tought about becoming either a Priest or a Missionary to go teach english in Latin America, but being closer to my pension (2 1/2 years from now NOVEMBER 7 2025) and with all the bad news I see and read about Mexico, Colombia, El Salavador, I am not too sure now I want to risk my last days in possibly losing my life in doing something that was dear to my heart soooo...still thinking about it !?! As alaways, Stay Healthy, keep the fanstastic videos coming in, God Bless, Cheers !!!
I received a new Lodge 8" skillet for Christmas. washed it with hot water, dried it in a hot oven. Melted some butter in it and started frying eggs. First egg, no stick. Washed in hot water and dried in an oven. never had anything stick. My recommendation is just start cooking with it. Question, What should I do with my new cast iron skillet? Answer, Get to cooking!!!!
Using them is absolutely the best thing. They will get better every time they are used..
Wonderful video. Loved the Bible verse. God bless!
I have some new lodge and I like them a little rough but I am not bothered by it. I cannot see sanding them like some people. To each there own I guess.
Funny that you put up a video on this. I just bought a "new" Lodge cast iron skillet, but it was in a thrift store, so I stripped it. When I was new to cast iron about 5 years ago, I remember seeing a Martha Stewart video saying it was OK to wash it out the first time with soap and water to remove the sticky residue it had. I don't remember much after that. Your instructions are much better in my opinion and very similar to the way I do it! 😉 You mentioned your rag. My question is how long do you use the same rag to spread the seasoning and what do you do once it is no longer usable? I have never seen that addressed on UA-cam unless I missed it! lol
My seasoning clothes go through a little bit of a my of a migration. They start off as a clean wipe down cloth until they get infused with oil. After they are infused withoil, they become application cloth. After they start looking cruddy, I use them for my first application when the cast a
Iron is still producing residue. Once I decide to dispose of them, they make great fire starters. Lol
@@castIroncookware Fire starters! lol. I love it! That would be perfect to use with my wood burning stove, I just never thought of that. In the warmer months, I would put them in a tin can to be disposed of in the trash, sealed of course. Thanks! 👍
Black and brown stuff was on mine when I first bought it and because I didn’t know how to maintain it I put it away and now when I wanted to use it, the same thing, black and brown stuff.
I don’t have an oven.
I seasoned it on the stove and the stuff came off a bit, is it safe now to use? I don’t want to digest black and brown stuff.
Can i pull the skillet out after an hour or do i need to leave it in the oven to cool down? Does it matter how fast the skillet cools down?
I'm very new to caste iron cooking and just purchased two of the Blacklock by Lodge. So you say I should wash and dry it first? Now do you actually just use and old t-shirt for wiping and buffing or is there a special cloth I should buy? What's in your eezy-breezy oil? Thanks for the video.
Always wash and dry any cast iron that you take in because you do not know who's handled it. I like to use old T-shirt material for applying seasoning oil. Easy Beezy is a blend of Beeswax Grapeseed oil and Avocado oil. The percentages are proprietary.
I can't find anybody using lard or tallow to season. Is that just as effective as a vegetable oil?
My seasoning doesn't stay (which I know means it isn't seasoned). As soon as I was it, it goes back to being dull and leaving specks when I wipe it out. I tried doing it it in the oven (four times!), I've tried on the stove top, I've tried high heat, low heat, coconut oil, avocado oil, crisco, olive oil...What am I doing wrong?!?
I purchased 2 cast iron skillets and they seem to be ruff. Do I need to sand them down to be a bit smoother?
The roughness will not matter. It's really an esthetic thing. It will get better with time and use.
Hey so picked up a griswold iron mountain 1034 and 1035 what do you think it’s worth
I would say that it would be worth at least a $100 plus.
Beginner steps 1-10
Fry bacon in your skillet.
Step 11
Enjoy your skillet
I think that it depends on the type of bacon since ones with a lot of sugar will leave a sticky mess in your pan.
Steven, hello you have quite the collection of skillets behind you.. Do you use any of them from time to time ? Or just collect them.. I have probably about 20 different size skillets . and always find my self during the same two or so over and over. But I can't stop buying them. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME ?? I love watching your video's so keep putting them out THANK YOU Frank from montana....
I have the same problem especially with my large skillet and flat pans. Since the kids are grown I don’t need them as much
You have the bug! 🤣🤣
@@castironkev yes I guess you are right it started when I was a kid see I was born in the BRONX. NY. In 1954. ( that's all my family had was cast iron ) when my grandmother died my parents. Threw all her cast iron in the garbage pail. Well I took it out and kept it all these years. Question : do they have groups for cast iron addicts??? Only kidding. Thanks for your response.....
@@frankmarullo228 they have groups, but not to fight the bug- more like to help encourage it! 🤣🤣 Sentimental value is the best of all, great history you have with yours..
There are some that I use quite a bit while others not so much. I love to be able to grab one off of the wall that has never been used for special dishes.
Oh my brother I subscribed just before your scripture. I had a good feeling about who you were. You reading the scripture just confirmed that. See ya in Heaven one day.
I would like to send u some pictures of a chicken fryer for identification
I purchased two Lodge skillets with cast iron lids. I couldn’t get it right, everything stuck. My husband threw them out when the trash went yesterday. So much money wasted in both the pans and ruined meals.
I've seen a lot of people do the same thing. There is a little bit of a learning curve when it comes to cast iron.
I was disappointed at first but now that's all I use with the exception of carbon steel pans for some things.
I am starting to notice that people are injecting God word into their content. I LOVE IT!!!
On another note, what is your opinion of prepping the cooking surface of the pans? I see some people are sanding and smoothing them and then reseasoning them. I know this is not a requirement but what is your opinion of polishing them smooth for long term investment.
I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I fail to see the reasoning behind a man with so many cast iron pans etc buying a new pan!
Wow, what a hassle. I guess you're going to tell me a steak tastes better on cast iron?
