Life of a Woodsman - Seasoning a Skillet For Non-Stick Cooking

  • I apologize for all of the explaining in this one, but cooking in the outdoors shouldn't be a scary task. We should all be able to enjoy our meals without the fear of having them ruined by our food sticking to our cookware. As I cook up my dinner tonight I thought I would share a very simply way anyone can guarantee a non-stick cooking experience. Utilizing my pre-seasoning method you can relax as you cook and enjoy the outdoors experience. This is the simplest way I've found to ensure my cookware is non-stick and I encourage you to give it a try. Even with my heavily used, scratched up stainless steel skillet I'm still able to achieve a non-stick finish using this technique.
    Tomorrow I will begin setting traps and hopefully I can start getting more meat to enjoy around camp.
    Thank you to everyone who watches!

    Looks like your stove could use just a bit of leveling 😉. Perfect example of seasoning a skillet. Most people use way too much oil and never let it get hot enough. I’ve been cooking with iron and steel for 50 years so I don’t think about it any more. Nice reminder!!!

    Thanks, I bought used two different sized antique cool handle skillets, one small and one a little larger. Someone had painted them as decorative items with enamel paint. The small one I have been able to remove all the paint and clean, the larger one, I started to clean, but got tired of messing with it, but now that I saw your video about how to season them, I will finish them up and season them out this winter! Thanks for the tips! Both of these skillets are around 100 to 120 years old!

    hardboil eggs in water is easiest and least cleanup. they say to cook store bought yolks thru completely so its all hard to prevent salmonella. i think if u raise ur own chickens u dont have to. boiling potatoes and adding butter and mashing is my fav. again ez cleanup. maybe clarified butter will keep well in the outdoors.

    A tip to reduce the chance of breaking your yolk: crack your egg on a flat surface instead of a corner or your spatula.

    i dont know man... ive tried this method on a black cast iron skillet, but im doing something wrong. tried it with bacon grease, grape seed oil, olive oil, and canola oil. it just either burns or nothing happens!

    • @Rooster0529
      @Rooster0529 5 місяців тому +2

      If you care to hear my opinion, I use grape seed when seasoning and canola for cooking. Don’t use too much oil when seasoning and make sure it starts to smoke. When you clean just wipe it out, don’t scrub or you will lose the seasoning you have already done. Good luck and enjoy your iron/steel. I’ve had two iron skillets for over 50 years and they both look fabulous. I got them from my mother, who got them from her mother. Not sure how far back they go.
