'Basics of Cast Iron' Episode 5: The #1 Seasoning Mistake

Make sure you watch Episode 4 so you DON’T make this mistake.
After a deep scrubbing with soap and steel wool then Bar Keepers friend, in the end, all of the stickiness was removed and that’s the most important part. Although the aesthetics of this pan would not affect the function of the skillet, for me personally I like my cast iron looking good and how this skillet looks(again, for me) is unacceptable and I would be stripping this down to bare iron and reasoning. Be sure to check out my ‘how to restore cast iron’ playlist on my UA-cam channel for some ‘simpler’ at home methods(be sure to watch the ‘Easy Off’ video).

what do you do when your cooking and the fats/oils in your cook polymerize like that? you strip it down and reseason?

Ivet got flaky seasoning and im not sure if i should reduce it to bare metal.
If DEFINITELY not peeling off, but kinda looks like that cracked ground in those really dry places - like a desert without the sand.
