Aaaaand, my debuyer minarel b carbon steel bent from the heat. It is not even close to the quality of cast iron. I am thinking to just trow it away into garbage.

for the normal mineral B model, the pro model like in the video uses stainless steel handles which is oven safe

No oven for the ones with the handle that is not oven safe for more than 10 minutes (that will be the Mineral B). You can use oven for blue carbon and Mineral B Pro :)

Warping is caused by starting out on heat that is too high,.. especially on electric stovetops. Start a cold pan on low for maybe 45-60 seconds, then gradually increase the heat. It's the same for cast iron.

Not necessarily. The idea is to achieve polymerisation. This happens well below smoke point. If we get to the smoke point and even exceed it, we tend to burn the oil and have carbon residue that might be harmful for health. The secret to get a good seasoning is to keep it in the oven long enough. I like to use sunflower seed oil (smoke point 440 degrees) and season the pans in the oven heated at 400, but lower will work too.

according to other source, you don't necessarily have to reach smoke point for oil to polymerize. Smoke is a good indication that the temp is high enough to polymerize, but not necessary (some even argue that it's too high and create carbon residue, that's why a higher temp usually creates darker seasoning)

I think time in the heat is more important than reaching a certain temp. Also if doing multiple season layers, letting the pan cool down between each season coat is something a lot of people overlook

You absolutely can. No reason not to.

Remove from oven obviously

Remove the skillet from the interior of the oven it was just in for an hr.

Avocado oil is fine, it’s neutral and has a high smoke point

The temp being 450 isn't a big deal. You can do 350 just fine as well. It will still polymerize all the same.

Extra virgin oil can be used without any problem at 250 Celsius. Thats well over ur 450 Farenheint

Any oil or fat works But the higher the smoke point the more durable the seasoning will be So avocado oil is great, but expensive to use Extra virgin olive oil works, but is inferior for seasoning

There's a wax coating on it to keep it from rusting during storage and shipping. That's why it says wash it

Not true. Carbon steal retains seasoning just as good as cast iron. There is nothing wrong with seasoning in the oven. Although best to just cook with it, and it'll season beautifully in time.

How do you burn until blue?

I'm about to season mine should I do 475?

@@patricecole6013yes, it seems to me that 375 is rather low.

Yeah 375 is low, I do anywhere from 450+

Since they’re using avocado oil in this video, shouldn’t it be 475F to hit smoke point so that polymerization occurs?

@@wozzinator All oils of the same variety are slightly different but yes, you want to hit smoke point at a minimum.
