  • Seasoning my cast iron skillet 5 times took some time, but was worth it!
    I used canola oil, but you can use any oil that has a high smoke point. I baked the cast iron skillet in the oven for an hour per seasoning.

    I used to season them in the oven, but now I just cook with whichever one I'm restoring until it's seasoned properly. At first, I just don't cook anything that's going to stick very much. If something does stick badly, I deglaze with water and begin seasoning all over again, but each time you begin seasoning all over again, you're not really at the same point.

    Season it by using an angle grinder with flap discs
    with progressively finer grit until the skillet is as smooth as glass. Then do your oil & heating process. The slick seasoned surface will release foods far better than a grit seasoned pan.

    • @juanlanda967
      @juanlanda967 2 месяца назад

      Not keeping it properly stored. Most likely in an attic or shed; some place unprotected from the elements. And if it's sitting too long the rust will start destroying the seasoning. And to clean off the rust most owners will do a complete strip in a bath or electrolysis.

    • @falsedragon33
      @falsedragon33 Месяц назад

      Acidic foods will strip it faster. Tomato based stuff is usually not recommended. I don't mind seasoning, so I still use them for it. I never found seasoning that big of a deal. Although I never let it get to the point he had. If mine get that way, they get sandblasted and I start over.

      ​@@wheelman1232crisco is a highly processed oil, using hexane in the process. It only belongs in the garbage. Flack seed is recommended, although I have used extra virgin olive oil for 25 years with good sucess. Rarely do I have to restore a pan, so it's only one or two seasons at a time. I season in a med sized toaster oven. It heats a lot faster.

    • @falsedragon33

      I do the same thing. If you flash oil before or after use, much like stainless, you can go much longer between seasons. I would consider what he did a restoration and would have sandblasted it before seasoning.
