A seasoned Cheff told me to put 1/4 inch of salt in the bottom of the pan and cook it in the oven until the salt turns brown. Then you can cook an egg with out sticking. It works~!
Great video! I saw somewhere on youtube, someone putting the skillet on the gas stove after rubbing it with oil and once it smokes (plenty of smoke) he season it again with oil, until it smokes, then season (and repeat seasoning) until it becomes dark-brown, then it is ready. This whole thing takes around 20 minutes, but gives the results of many months of seasoning as it appeared.
I have watched so many videos like this and I have to say yours was the best. It was simple right to the point and I didn’t have to go out and buy any new items. I had oil I got paper towel. I had everything I needed at home all the other videos I had to go and purchase, strange items so thank you so much for this video
Simply put & demonstrated. I especially appreciate that you showed how your first egg stuck to the pan and then explained how to continue seasoning the pan properly. I have given my kids cast iron skillets in the past and have shared this video with them so they can protect their investment! Subscribed! 💡
Just came across your video, and I must say, it is one of the best instructional/how to video I've ever watched! Usually I have to forward to a part where they say something actually worth paying attention to. Your video was awsome and honestly inspires me to maybe one day do videos as well. Something I have been wanting to do for a very long time, years actually. You inspire me to start. 😊🙏☝️
Wish I had known this when I was young. Gave my pan away fighting rust. Now have a 12 Griswold and someone else let it rust, so will follow your instructions ! Thanks!
Been seasoning many cast iron pans and love that you are aggressive on your cast iron... we are in concurrence! I literallydo the same thing and have bought and sold skillets using your method. Before selling my cast iron I do cook with it for a half dozen times...great video!!!
Thank you. I actually just purchased used cast iron trivets. (Hot plate thingy) They have a bit of rust. Not much. So i hope to clean them without damage.
Thank you so much someone basically put my cast-iron skillet into the dishwasher and it ended up getting rust on it. Luckily it was surface rust. And came off real quickly with just a abrasive sponge.
so i recently got my daughter her first little cast iron pan to learn to cook with and she left egg in it and you can smell the rust. This video help bring her little cast iron pan back to life getting that rust out. I did use the salt method due to me not really liking the idea of soap in my cast iron pans lol. But thank you again, i had no idea you can clear the rust out to save the pan.
I have a hundred year old cast iron chicken fryer pan that was my great Grandma's. It has been seasoned for so many years that you can almost see yourself in the bottom and nothing sticks to the bottom as long as I allow it to get hot enough before I add my food. I also have Cast Iron that I bought new and it was unseasoned when I bought it, I have had it now for 25 years, I originally seasoned myself in oven at very high heat using crisco shortening placing in oven upside down and also nothing sticks to the bottom as long as I allow it to get hot enough before I add my food. I always use Crisco Shortening on a paper towel to season after rinsed and wiped dry and warmed up after every use. Cast Iron pots and pans are my absolute favorite to use and once you get the hang of how to care for them it is extremely easy and no other type of pan will give your food as good of sear as cast iron. PS: The 100 yr old cast iron I have was seasoned all those years using Lard, I have seasoned with Crisco Shortening since I have had it for now around 12 years.
Thank you so much for this video. My cast iron skillet and dutch oven have gotten rust on them from a leak in my sink. This video will help me get the cleaned up easily. Have a blessed new week.
Thanks! At Walmart right now and i Googled "can I use SOS pads to clean a rusted cast iron pan" I got a used one yesterday from my mom and am eager to use it. This is such an easy how-to video!
I have found three mini-cast iron dishes. I don't know how to describe them. They are rusted but not bad, just spots here and there. Thank you for this video!
Looks good. Lovely tutorial. I was warned, however, by an antique dealer friend who collects and sells cast iron, to not use any metal utensils in my cast iron. Apparently the metal flakes away at the pan’s seasoning layer. Also, when storing the pans, never to stack them one inside another without some sort of paper or cloth between each as one pan will flake or scrape away your pan’s seasoning as well. ❤
Nice video on cleaning and doing the seasoning. We used white distilled vinegar white vinegar. Soak it for about an hour and then lightly clean it out with Dawn and warm water and then let it dry on the stove burner.
You can use modern soap in the cast iron with no issues. The reason you couldn’t use soap in the past was because there was lye in most all soap. Lye strips the seasoning. Use modern dish soap all you want.
Also you “can” use any oil but if you use a oil with a low smoke point you’ll set off every smoke alarm in your home. Avocado oil is a good one. Just check your smoke point.
Actually it's more of an overall quality you want. You're right I'm not saying you're wrong here's the but tho as an exception to what you can get away with if you want high quality you have to do it based off the quality of what you add into it. Soap removes a lot regardless of the brand. The goal is to remove exactly what will harm the quality of the food cook bad note that might imply the possibility of getting sick because someone chose taste over health hazardous conditions.
I made the mistake of adding vinegar to water and boiling/scraping with a spatula to remove some caked on food. This works really well on stainless pans. After scrubbing with water and chainmail I put it dry on the stove under low heat to evaporate water and reseason. Before it dried I saw distinct rust spots. Hopefully this process solves my problem.
Great vid! Going to do this tomorrow. I scraped an iron skillet to where it was silver on the bottom and then coated in butter and baked some cornbread. Pan came out with a new rust spot after cooking, lol. Going to follow this guide and fix the situation.
Great video!! I cleaned some old rusty brake rotors by soaking them in White vinegar and it worked great! Why couldn't I do the same thing on a cast iron pan?
For eggs, I use my low sided pan. And while heating I spread s drop of butter. The butter and the oil seasoning don’t like to mix ~ which helps the egg not stick. I can literally slide the egg out of the pan and into the plate.
Thanks so much for this video. I've a new gas range that's been scorching my expensive stainless steel skillets, even on low heat, so hauled out an old cast iron skillet we used for camping. Not as bad off as your demo skillet, but needing help. I did use steel wool on the slight rusted area, but didn't completely remove the existing finish. Once clean, I went through your seasoning cycle 3 times. I used it to cook burgers last night, cleaned as you demonstrated, then used it for sausages and 2 eggs this morning--no sticking, and it's performing well. This skillet, 8", while perfect for small jobs, needs company. I'm ready to order a 12" for big ones, like pancakes. My old electric cook top didn't produce the hot even heat that makes the cast iron really show off.
A square pan is great for pancakes. Ollie's have 10" and 12" this week on sale. $16.99 and $19.99. Those are the round ones. I bought the 10" for homemade pot pies and fruit pies. 😊
Thank you so much. I let my pan and skillet go 😞 I am so happy to put in the work to get it back into good cooking condition! I will season it 3 times in the oven today and then use it tonight!! Thanks.
This video is so appreciated. Have one soaking in vinegar right now (and getting lots of rust off already). Had no idea what to do AFTER the soak. Lol Already grabbed an SOS pad and my flaxseed out of cabinet while watching....rolling up sleeves, and I'm going in!!! Awesome video. Wish me luck! 😇🤗☺️
Hi love your channel, can you please show a video, on a recipe on how to cook ribeye steaks on an iron skillet, looking forward to your new videos thank you Joanne from California
Hi Joanne, I do have a recipe for cooking a filet mignon in a cast iron if that would be helpful. Here is a link to that: ruclips.net/video/sOSK0lkogB8/видео.html I can make a video for a ribeye also. My husband really likes that idea! So stay tuned! Glad you are enjoying the recipes! I’m in California also!
Thank you so much, Robin. I appreciate you, your channel, and all the work that you do to bring recipes, tips/techniques, knowledge, and a warm welcome to your viewers. Thanks again; and keep on Rockin!! Two thumbs way up!!
My cast iron and carbon steel pans are probably the most nonstick pans I own. I’ve never done the oven method because I refuse and I’m lazy. I don’t want to have to bake my pan I just want to cook. When I get my new pan, I clean it. Soap and water. I get it extremely hot. Let it cool down. I pour oil until the whole bottom is covered. I put it back on the stove until the oil starts to smoke. Dump the oil out. Wipe all the oil off. And let it cool down on its own. I don’t care what oil I have. Olive oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, beef tallow, avocado oil spray infused with garlic..it doesn’t matter. I think seasoning just comes with time. Maybe the oven method to speed it up for your first cook. My first cook looked very much like yours not fully nonstick. But I just do all my cooking on it. First ones are normally bacon. Or steak. I always deglaze whether I’m making a sauce or just pour water after it’s cool down a little the “deglaze”. I don’t pour water on a screaming hot pan. Not because I’m afraid of cracking the pan. But because the only thing that I’ve seen ruined my seasoning. It is pouring cold water on a screaming hot pan. Like I had it on the burner for 10 minutes and it threw water at it. But as long as you let it sit for 5/10 minutes before you pour water, you’re good to go. I use dawn dish soap, pretty much every time I finish cooking with it. the soap myth comes from old times. And if Dawn dish soap is OK for ducks, it’s OK for your cast-iron pot. Little bit of water, a little bit of soap while the pans still warm . Don’t pour hot because the water will get hot and you will burn yourself. I dry it, throw it on the stove till it dries put a tbs of oil and wipe it down. Wipe the surface let it sit till the morning. The whole cleaning process takes 5/10 minutes it’s nothing crazy
I have always washed my cast iron skillets with dawn and water and NEVER have I had any problem just as my great grandmother did hers and I still have one of her skillets that I still use and wash with dawn. The mis information of not using soap is bull
Thanks for the tip but my recent rice cooker only rust into the food whiles it is still cooking and also when used to heat water. How do i stop it from happening?
I currently have some rust on my pan and was thinking I might have to get rid of it then learned it can be saved so watched this. I am a bit confused, though. After the first egg did you just cook with it to season it some more? rather than doing the oven seasoning? or do you mean that each time you cooked you washed, dried, oiled and put on the stove, so you were doing a mini season each time?
I only do the oven seasoning once, maybe twice. Then I rinse in hot water scraping out the food with a nylon scraper, dry, oil and put on the stove. It only takes a couple of minutes.
Older neighbor, quite universally knowledgeable type, recommended Crisco to season it with. Turned out fairly well. This was with a new & larger one. Watching this as I have a medium sized one that's needs restored.
I always use Crisco to season the Cast Iron pan, and the first thing I cook in the pan is bacon. Usually only takes 2 to 3 times in the oven to season It! There are so many different methods, the best way is just get you a cast-iron pan and go to work on it so you’re satisfied ! Thank you for your video, the next time I will use an SOS pad, I’ve never tried that!👍
I just found a bunch of cast iron that has been severely neglected. Thought about this or just throwing them in a fire and then doing this cuz they are horrible. They are the pot styles with the kids and handles. I have one griddle. They are mostly made in China but still cast iron and for free I can't complain. What would you suggest??
My skillet still has a slight orange ish look to it????? I have used salt , scouring pad, Brillo pad and it just still has a cast slight sheen of orange which I feel is still rust?????? What else can I do????
Question: For cleaning, you wash it with water, wipe it with a towel, put it on the stove then you say 'dry it out' before adding oil. What do you mean exactly by 'dry out out'? '
Prepping for the holidays and needing my cast iron. However, the husband didn't know and let is sit in water and I am attempting to remove the rust in it. Is it normal for a black residue to come off after the rinsing and oiling part?
I used canola oil to season the pan in 500 degree oven after scrubbing. The whole house filled with smoke, and I had to abort! Why is my pan smoking, do you think?
A seasoned Cheff told me to put 1/4 inch of salt in the bottom of the pan and cook it in the oven until the salt turns brown. Then you can cook an egg with out sticking. It works~!
I might actually try that
Seems like a bit of a faff just to fry an egg...
Was he seasoned in a skillet though????😂
For how long and at what temp?
I don’t watch often but when I do I’m reminded your a woman that knows her stuff! Have a beautiful day❤️
Thank you Regina! I hope you will watch more often!

I have a cast iron antique pot belly stove that I'm going to try cleaning up.
So glad I now know how to care for my cast iron pan. Thank you 😁😁
I did not know the sticking meant it wasn't seasoned enough. 😍😍Thanks for this!!

Yes! The more you use it, the better it will get! Keep on seasoning!!
My food sticks HORRIBLY! Will be trying this seasoning method

Well I still wouldnt because sometimes it will soak in the soap flavor and it doesnt taste good. Ive had it happen
@@happyislandlover4850 more human error than soaps fault. wash it out better

I love my cast iron!! I have one that size. I named it after my late friend who gave it to me. Thanks for the tips and video Robin!!
That is so sweet Sharon. My condolences.
@@RockinRobinCooks Thank you! XO
Thanks so much for sharing I finally have a good understanding of how to take better care of my cast iron 🙂
You are welcome Patricia! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for posting this video. I have a cast iron pan that's really rusty. I look forward to following your tips!
Bring out those sos pads and get rid of that rust! Once you build up that seasoning, you are going to love your pan! Thanks for watching!!😊

I'm so happy I found your channel! I love your vibe and you're a great teacher!
Great video, just to let everyone know if you scrub the pan on top of a nice countertop or in the sink it will scratch the surface.
Yes, you do need to be careful!
How about putting an old towel under it?

Life saver! Thank you! Don’t tell my southern relatives the sin I’ve committed by letting pan rust 🤣🤣💖💖
Love that! Lol!
Thank you so much for sharing all these precious tips to take care of our cast iron pans, I really appreciate your generosity beautiful lady 🙏💝

Robin you are a gem now I know how to season my cast iron pot..thank you
Thank you for your demonstration...I will try...........
Hope it works for you!
Thank you we were just talking about the way to do this. Thanks again.
This is a really nice video. Cast iron pans need a little knowledge to use and some TLC, but they’re nice to cook with.
Thanks Mark! I appreciate the comment.
My neighbor is 85 years(bachelor) old and has been using the same cast iron pans since he was 30 years old
Cast iron pans are great! And they can last a very long time if well taken care of!
Hello I just bought one thank you so much.❤
This was a huge help for me. Thank you for this. Very simple video.
Glad it helped!

Thanks Robin. I love my cast iron!!
You are welcome Stewart! They are the best!
I heard not to use soap on cast iron pans wondering why
I use warm water and salt with a scouring pad but I did like the reseasoning method
Very helpful video. Thank you!
Glad to be of help!
Awesome thanks. Basically what i thought to do
You are welcome!
I have always washed my cast iron skillets with dawn and water and NEVER have I had any problem just as my great grandmother did hers and I still have one of her skillets that I still use and wash with dawn. The mis information of not using soap is bull
This video was so helpful
Thanks for these great tips. Cheers, Robin! ✌️
Thank you Dwayne! Have a good one!
Thanks for this because I just found my pan and it’s sooo rusty! I have no idea what to do lol
Glad I could help!
Thank you for this info .
Nice job lady 💯
Great video 🙌🏾 I can’t wait to try this later 😁😁😁
Thank you!
You can use soap anytime on cat iron
They used to not because they're was lye in soap but they're isn't any more
Thanks for the tip but my recent rice cooker only rust into the food whiles it is still cooking and also when used to heat water. How do i stop it from happening?

I totally want your shirt!!

Great video. Thx
I like how deep that skillet is. I wonder if it was a chicken fryer? If so it probably had a cast iron lid.
My skillet still has a slight orange ish look to it????? I have used salt , scouring pad, Brillo pad and it just still has a cast slight sheen of orange which I feel is still rust?????? What else can I do????
What temperature is the oven? I can’t seem to find where she said the temp
Thank you soooo much your awesome
Question:
For cleaning, you wash it with water, wipe it with a towel, put it on the stove then you say 'dry it out' before adding oil. What do you mean exactly by 'dry out out'? '
Love your t-shirt
What do you think about rust erasers?
I season mine with pig fat. Been doin that for yrs, my granny taught me that.
Love the music background
Prepping for the holidays and needing my cast iron. However, the husband didn't know and let is sit in water and I am attempting to remove the rust in it. Is it normal for a black residue to come off after the rinsing and oiling part?
Thank you!👍

I used canola oil to season the pan in 500 degree oven after scrubbing. The whole house filled with smoke, and I had to abort! Why is my pan smoking, do you think?
