Thanks Mike. I do actually use a stainless steel spatula on all my egg dishes fried, scrambled etc. No problems with the seasoning at all.
You’re welcome Larry! Thanks for sharing your experience with us my friend! I see no problems with it either!
I'll definitely have to get me a metal spatula. I can see that a thin one will make sliding under so much easier. As for now, I still use a plastic one. Since I've always used those kinds, I know one has to be quick and never linger on the pan or raise the temperature of the plastic too high, but I won't have to worry about that when I get a metal spatula.
Great question and very helpful response for new cast iron disciples. Thanks.
You're welcome, and thank you too! Yes the thin ones work great and especially for eggs! Here is the Rada Cutlery Stainless Steel Cooking Spatula that we use all the time. You can easily grab one at Amazon. Here is our link if you'd like to check it out. amzn.to/3tD6z3d.
@MrCastIron Thanks for the link! That looks like a good one, and made in USA to boot. Here in Australia 99% of things are made in China so I think I'll get the one you use. Thanks again
You’re always welcome my friend!!
Another great video Mike! I remember Granny always used metal utensils long before plastic arrived.....and now I have that skillet. Its still smooth as glass.
Thats cool! Yeah, at one time, metal was all there was! Thanks for sharing that with us, my friend!
Right on Uncle Mike, thanks for putting this valuable info. out, excellent video as always, best to Auntie TT😂
Thanks Ricky!!
@MrCastIron Don't pay him no mind Mr. C.I. I can't. MY teeth be on edge is all.
lol I heard that!
I use a metal spatula on My cast iron skillet thanks for the info mike 😀
You’re welcome Nate! Thank you!
Thanks for your advice, i found your channel because i was using one of the rubber spatulas on high heat in a cast iron to sear a steak and it seemed like it melted on the tip a bit any tips on buying the right rubber type tools? Or was that just a no go
Do u have to season after each use? And do u have to place in oven for a hour after u season?
Hahaha My people try and use the silicone spatulas on CI and wonder why they melt . LOL I am trying to teach them.
LOL! I know it's hard sometimes Billy! Hang in there buddy!
Thank you for super informative videos.
Can you make a video about different type of coatings that is used for cast iron cookware and how to season/treat/maintain them?
We have recently bought a few pots (ovens) and pans (skillets) that seem like traditional cast iron but I think they are enameled cast iron. It's hard to tell exactly which one they are since the interior is almost black and rough like traditional ones (I've seen online), but somewhat not as black and not as rough, it seems! They have somewhat grey-ish color on the outside, which I think is enamel. But other than that, they're not in obvious color and/or smoothness to rule the as enameled.
Thanks for the response and video! My Calphalon plastic spatula melted a little. Do you go wood or stainless mostly?
You're welcome my friend! I use both stainless and wooden!
I love how smooth the bottom looks
Thank you!
I have the older thin spatulas and love them, they are like a fish spatula, nice and thin. Wonder if thin ones are still available, as they are much quieter☺. Thank you for another informative video.
Yes I love the thin ones too! Here’s our link to the one we use almost daily. Check it out if you like: amzn.to/3tHIwA3
I am thinking the thin ones aren't made anymore. I did see some mighty precious prices on "vintage" ones. One was $49. I don't guess I'll sell any in my lifetime though, I'll keep all 8.
@@jerrym3261 Gees, I will keep the 2 I have!
@@tallcedars2310 I just looked a little more on Ebay. There are many in the $10 range but, very few that I like. I have a vintage Russell spatula in the basement I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, thick metal and no flex at all. I think they're out there, probably in estates and a lot get thrown away. I used to shop and buy them when I saw them, usually for $1 but, I don't shop much anymore.
yes i agree, as long as you do a maintenance oil or coat after each cook in the cast iron, it should be fine with the metal items
Yeah and as long as you don’t get to gouging around in it lol! 😂
That’s one of the beautiful things about cast iron.
Yes sir it sure is!! Thanks Matt! Good to see you!
Yep been using one for years
That's cool! And with no problems!
As long as its bare cast iron not the coated stuff you can use all the metal utensils you want. I always do on my vintage and newer cast iron.
Thanks John. When you say coated, are you talking about enameled?
@@MrCastIron Enameled or any other non stick coating a manufacturer may apply, not meaning seasoning which can be reapplied at home.
Oh ok. Yeah, I wouldn’t suggest doing that with Teflon!
@@MrCastIron I remember when Teflon first came out. Mom was used to cast iron or carbon steel and metal spatulas. I have eaten some Teflon. Teflon doesn't take to being heated up empty either. Old habits die hard.
@@MrCastIronBut can we use metal utensils on enameled cast iron?
Just bought a cheap cast iron frying pan here in the UK and it says no metal utensils - they all seem to have the horrid non stick coating on them. Any suggestions on brands that don't put non stick coating on their pans?
Are you talking about pre-seasoning or Teflon?
I regularly use metal utensils in cast iron. I don't see that it causes any problems. I sometimes use wooden utensils to use with running water to clean stuck on bits.
I don't think it does either Jim! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us my friend!!
Whew! I was worried! I counted mine and got to unlucky 7 but, I found one more so, at least 8. I would have bet they were mostly Ekco but, only see Ekco on 4 of them. They're all old and looking online, maybe valuable. I have noticed I never see a brand new one I like. Maybe they don't make good ones anymore.
Oh yeah there are some good ones out there. This is what we use all the time. It’s the Rada Spatula and you can check it out through our link if you like: amzn.to/3tHIwA3
@@MrCastIron I have heard that Rada makes good stuff, people like their knives. I'm stuck in most of my old ways, old stuff. I did switch from Ekco paring knives to Victorinox a few decades ago. My egg turners I won't choose one shape as my favorite, why I have 8, but I like just the right amount of flex and the new ones I've seen are stiff. I'm fixing to use a new to me #6 stylized Wagner Ware Sidney O 1935 to 1959. Frying chicken, exciting times.
I heard that. I am kinda partial to certain things myself. It’s hard to change, lol!
I'm sure mine would be fine bc of how great it's seasoned. But Lorrrrd my teeth will be on edge.
See Dubz SEEEEEEE??????😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
See you ain’t gotta hate!! You gotz boooosheeee smooove ironz dat don’t be rough like modern lodge, etc..COMPLETELY DIFF SOUND/feel
lol! Yes it will be just fine!
@@rstumbaugh43 Just looking at it hurts my toofeez...🤣🤣🤣
I'm not suggesting this but, you could use a hammer and a chisel on that cast iron skillet and it will still be here
for generations after you've left this world. And when it comes to spatula's, a good, flexible, stainless steel one
should last as long as the skillet. With Zero issues from BPA's, in plastics.
TYFS Mike
Great points Mark!! Thanks buddy!
