I take very good care of my stainless steel pans. However, I needed this demo to show me how to take BETTER care of my cast iron. Thank you so much, Rachel!
That there are still folks left in the world that even give-a-darn about keeping their own cooking equipment clean and functional and used with care, is a testament to the genuineness Rachel brings with each of these videos. And, she will end up saving you money, from thinking you need to buy other items, since the stuff you own will look so good! Thanks Rachel.
Sadly a very close and dear cousin of mine past away last June; she was one of those people who babied her pots and pans till they glimmered and sparkled! Sigh…I miss her so much, and honestly this video reminded me of her.
Rachel, my name is Alma. I've discovered your channel & I have been binging (even in the car,lol). My mom was a wonderful cook but I didn't have enough sense to have her really teach me all these wonderful dishes. I know some, but she's gone now. She gave me her molcajete which I lost somewhere along life (which I am very angry at myself for). I want to buy another one. Can you please make a video on how to select & season one? Thank you for the love 💕 you put into your videos too!!
Rachel you are the best 🥰Your voice is so soothing …. Presentation , cleanliness , sharp n crisp camera set up …. I mean every darn thing in your videos are perfectly done . Thanks so much for allowing us inside your world 🌎 🥰Happy to be here ☕️
Oh Rachel, please promise all of us that you won’t ever let Hollywood come calling and tarnish you! Stay Golden! You are such a wonderful joy to watch! And I learn something every time! God bless you, my friend! 💕
My grandfather was a professional chef and his pots and pans were like yours, always shining! I wish I lived next door to you!! You are a treasure! Thank you!
All I can say is, AMAZING! I love how clean you keep everything. You have to invest in those beautiful pots and pans to keep them looking beautiful. Thank you again for sharing.
Thank you for showing us How To clean and season cast iron. So many people exclaim DON'T USE DISH SOAP!! DON'T DO THIS!! DON'T DO THAT!! but they never show What TO Do. It's so important to know how to take care of your kitchen tools. You're the best.
Rachel, you are truly the best cook, teacher and just the most lovely person ever! I’m 64 years old, and you have taught me so much! I have always loved cooking, watching my grandmother on the farm cook beautiful, delicious meals. You are an excellent woman like her! Thank you and God bless you!❤️
I appreciate you so much! I've never had anyone show me how to do this. I literally learn something from you every time you post a video. I really look forward to seeing your videos.
Finally, someone who actually respects and takes care of their pots and pans. I have always kept my stainless pans spotless. I never see other people putting any effort into maintaining them so that they look new.
Thank you Rachel, I appreciate your help on the cast iron, I’ve heard sooo many ways of seasoning and/or taking care of cast iron, but I believe yours is the best. Can you believe the first time I seasoned my cast iron they had my keep them in the oven on low ALL DAY? I was miserable with the smell coming from the kitchen, it was awful! Never did that again. I will try your way because it makes more sense and is close to the way I do it now. Thank you 😊
You remind me of my mom with your pans. She bought her stainless steel pans in 1943 and up until the day she passed away in 2017 they were as shiny as the day she bought them. She cooked alot raising a family and they always shined.
Rachel.... you are without a doubt my most favorite on- line addiction. I love everything about your videos from the food , the recipes, tips/ life-hacks etc. In addition... watching and even just listening to your voice is a soothing and relaxing joy!! I've always loved to cook and my mom and my grandma always had a place and a purpose for me since as far back as I can remember. The holidays were always my favorite. I have 6 brothers and 1 sister almost 10 years younger than me. So I learned early on what a good wife/ daughter did in the kitchen. Since they both have passed... you have really helped me enjoy again cooking, and prep, and even cleaning. Thank you for being "the woman in my life" now!! Sending you peace and joy and gratitude!
Candace! What a beautiful testament you gave your mother and grandmother. Those two ladies did well by you and passed onto you a great gift. So many people today do not have that simpatico with the loving art of food preparation and the joy and satisfaction you receive in watching someone close to you enjoy the fruits of your labor. There is nothing sweeter than to have friends and family gather around your table and enjoy what they are eating along with all the conversation that happens at the table. It is a way we bond and find joy in each other. I especially appreciate your thoughts about Rachel. She is a delight and a font of knowledge which she is so generous to share with us. Rachel does have that certain jenesaisquoi of making people comfortable with her as she gives herself to us and shares her talents and skills. Rachel does cook with love and she shares with us with her treasures.
@@rachelcookswithlove keep doing what you're doing!! I know I am not alone in feeling the love that is so palpable in your videos. Cooking , and even cleaning for my family is my life!! I recently fell over a year ago and broke my back, really limiting my activities. However... watching you and listening to you, really lit a fire back into my soul. Having the goal to get back into the kitchen has helped in my physical rehabilitation and I am proud to say, that while I am still using a Walker...I am cooking and baking. That's my Lord's doing and yours as well. Sending many blessings for your continued success!
I thought the chefs used a new Dutch oven with each recipe. Mine was so stained. I scrubbed it so much and couldn't get it clean. I tried your method. Walla it is like new. Now I am going to work on my cast iron pans. I thank you so much. I love your tutorials!!!
I have cooked for over 70 years and I have cleaned my equipment the same way you are teaching. My equipment is very old but looks really good because I properly care for it the way you do. My appliances are older also, especially my stove but everyone always thinks it’s much newer because I cared for it properly. And I cooked a lot.
You reminded me of mom's friend when I was a growing up. Her name was Chelina. She always got her stuff shiny like yours yes especially copper! Growing up mom had a whole set of copper things on display. I was always assigned to clean them with Brasso. Not always thrilled cause copper does turn color after a while....I wish I knew of your olive oil final touch. But certainly your wise cast iron advice is going to be followed religiously. Love your channel.
I've been doing way more cooking lately and getting tips from YT as I do. Never thought I would need tips on cleaning pans until I burned mine tonight. So glad I came across this video because you have cleaning pots down to a science. Also, I think I'm going to start drying my pots more. Never realized how it's important to not skip that. Thanks so much.
My late husband was a cook and sous chef and he always cooked w cast iron pots, seasoning them exactly like this! But I like the idea of using the microfiber cloth to wipe off the oil - much better than terry towels or paper towels that leave lint behind. He also liked to use Bar Keeper's Friend on our stainless pots and pans. Thank you so much for sharing with everyone, Rachel!
Thank you Rachel for taking the time to put this video together. It is one of the most practical, down to earth, how to videos that I've seen in a long time.
Have always wanted someone I trusted to teach me these things. My mom did lots of things in our home, but was not a natural teacher. In fact, I always got the impression she would prefer to be left alone to do her homemaking. So I did! Because I need Mom's approval (to this day, so silly really). Thank you for being the kind, generous teacher, about these really important HOMEMAKING things, Rachel!
Thank you so very much for explaining how to clean and season cast iron! Iv been afraid to get one because I know they take extra care. But you make it look effortless and so I’m going to get a cast iron skillet! Also, I just think it was so very sweet that you gave your neighbor a cast iron skillet! What a wonderful neighbor you are! I’m so glad I found you! I miss true TexMex food! Hugs and much love 💕!
Rachel, I want to take a moment and compliment you on how informative you are by taking the time to explain each and every step in your recipes. Some cooking channels rush through making it difficult to follow. I stumbled onto you a while back and have made many of your recipe's and love your channel and will be a faithful follower. Cinnamonrolls so far have been my favorite along with my grandsons. They don't last 24 hours at my house. I feel like part of your family and Please stay as informative on your cooking, May God bless and keep you safe.
I have never seen anyone care for cast iron skillets like my grandmother taught me, until now!!! I have cast iron pans older than my adult daughter and they still look and cook like brand new cast iron - well brand new with a beautiful dark seasoning. Thank you for confirming what my sweet grandmother knew all those years ago.
I did not know about bleaching my ceramic Dutch oven. Thanks for demonstrating that. I always season my cast iron each time I wash them. I’m like you though, once in a while I will use a little Dawn dish liquid. Other times it’s just very hot water, scrape the bottom and sides with a plastic scraper, rinse, dry & season once with oil. Your neighbor is very fortunate to get a shiny skillet AND a new skillet.
This is the most sensible way of cleaning your pots and pans. Rachel, you make it look so much easier than other videos I have watched. Going to get some Bar Keepers friend tomorrow.
You do everything the way I’ve done it all 3 of these for 50 years now. Half a century, and I still use my mother’s and my auntie’s (❤️rest in peace, all of them❤️) cookware! We all did it just exactly this way. And I still do. The last of these Mohicans. 😊 Young people now see this work and shake their heads. “No way! Too much time, too much work!” And they ARE very busy people! But… so were we. Right? 😊❤️👍 Thanks so much for this. It’s satisfying when it’s clean AND SHINING, isn’t it? Memories are held in those pots and pans. Great family memories. My favorites. Thanks again. Well done. 👍
Rachel you are very good with that you have the skillet looking like it's brand new that is a blessing thank you and you have those pots and pans the same way that is beautiful thank you again Rachel
Racheal, you have just shared with us, your fellow cooking enthusiasts one of the finest down home cookware cleaning presentations that I have ever seen. You reminded me of my mother so much, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! May GOD Bless you abundantly!!!
It’s such a good thing for you to pass on the art of cooking and keeping the home. My sweet mama didn’t know these skills to teach me but I had Mrs Townsend (home ec teacher almost 30 years ago) and now I have you to thank for sharing your skills - most importantly with love to bless our family and neighbors. God bless you ❤️
Rachel dear... I just turned 75 and love to cook. I have learned SO MUCH from watching you. Now following you, my food is WAY MORE TASTY thank you from all of my taste buds!!! 💜💜
Oh Rachel, how I wish you were my next-door neighbor!! I love listening to your voice because you’re so calm and you’re so welcoming and you just have so much kindness in your heart in explaining things to us so patiently especially when sharing your tips! I am so grateful to you in helping me learn how to clean my pots and pans!! I started sharing your videos with my daughters and will share this one as well! Thank you so much for all your teaching and thank Ron for being such a great camera man! God Bless You Both!! ❤️❤️
Its always good to learn something .. I worked dietary and i was the cook and the lady who was the aid had a cast iron it was so little itty bitty for her fat eggs and she would clean hers like this. I miss her she moved back to mexico Ms Otilia 75 year's old and still kicking. I like watching Rachel cooks with love❤😊
@Sandra Lugo One of my cast iron pans is tiny like Ms Otilia’s; I love it for making one egg or a grilled sandwich. Thnx for sharing this story about her!🤗
You are a breath of fresh air…. You really cook with love and it shows You are an OG Mexican cook. You have so many traditional recipes that remind me of my grandma. God rest her soul. Ron is a very blessed man. I love You ❤God Bless
This video deserves a million views! Your pans looked beautiful from when I see your videos. I definitely wondered if you had different pots and pans that I did. Ty for sharing your expertise!
Rachel thank you for being you. I love watching your videos. Thank you for answering all my questions about cleaning my stainless steel. Went and bought bar keepers friend today, CLEAN pans tomorrow. Thank you again!
This is the my first time watching one of your videos and I’ve enjoyed every minute! I have used Barkeeper’s Friend for many years. I have cleaned my enamel pots with scouring cleansers that contain bleach but I won’t do that anymore. I’ll just use the bleach itself and see how they turn out. My oldest cast iron skillet is 57 years old and almost looks like new. I also use Dawn and put them on the stove to dry. When I season a new cast iron pot, I usually put it in the oven for an hour to cure. I do like your method of cleaning your pot and pans. I learned a little something here and I will be watching whichever videos of yours I can find from now on. Thank you for sharing! 😊
Rachel does EVERYTHING with love! These are great instructions. I have watched other cast iron seasoning and cleaning videos but I think that yours is the best. Great tips for restoring the stainless steel pans too.
Thank you Rachel. This is probably the simplest video I've seen on cleaning and seasoning all different kinds of pots and pans. You made it look so easy, while others make it look so complicated. I love your channel and so glad I found you.
Thank you for sharing this very informative video on cleaning cookware! I have a spotless home and love everything just so..but wasn't sure if I was cleaning my cast iron correctly. When I saw how beautiful your cast iron was, I knew I had to find out how you did it! Thank you for responding in the video I contacted you in. You have truly changed how I cook now! I was always so intimidated when it came to making Mexican cuisines. I would just say to my husband, let's go out to grab Mexican tonight. When I found your channel and watched how you made everything step by step and so caring..I had to try. My first recipe I tried from you was the red and green enchiladas. Oh were they delicious! I remember thinking.."Did I really make that?" Rachel, you are a wonderful, beautiful, down to earth cook!! I am so thankful to God for finding your channel! I have my husband watching you now as well! You are family to us! Thank you for all you have shared and taught me! ~Vicki p.s. I made the chalupa's last night and they were absolutely delicious!!!!
Don't just love shiny stainless steel pans...My Dutch ovens has seen a lot of cooking ...they are old and a bit worn..but I love them...Thank you for your video on how to keep clean your Dutch ovens....I shall try your way for sure.
Great info. I keep lots of Barkeeper's Friend stocked up. I grew up using SOS pads on my stainless but those things can't hold a candle to that little gold can. I just got some new Lodge cast iron pieces a few months ago. I actually sanded the inside before seasoning them. It's always exciting getting new cookware but those pans that have been seasoned with love for years are the best. Women like you are as close to that Proverbs 31 model as we will see this side of heaven. You are a precious soul.
Thanks for the info and demonstration, Rachel. I learned that I had been leaving too much oil in the pan after cleaning and also used too high heat. Thanks a bunch❣️
Trying to find the product/ agent for cleaning pots and pans..i live in CT RSA. I think yr demos and recipes are fantastic AND yr garden trip i saw yesterday. Good luck pse continue.
Whoaaa Hi Rachel Super nice and the explanations is loud and clear as in the step by step process are superb …. From now on I am ur avid fan and we’ll see u in ur next vlog ….. More lessons to learn soonest…..
Excellent!!! One of the most valuable videos I've ever watched on how to take care of my cookoware. THANK YOU, Rachel!! You are a MASTER. This is the best video I've ever seen on how to clean and season pots and pans. ♥ A+++++
This is a wonderful lesson. I wish every high school home ec (now called something different) class teacher would teach these methods. Very nice detail and explanations.
Rachel you're the best I showed my husband your video so he could take over the pots and pans. He said he loved the way you take care of your pans. Greetings from Anaheim
Hello Rachel ! You r such an inspiration to me. I came across your channel months ago and have use made your delicious homemade salsa x2. It’s a staple now for me and it week it a little to make it my own 😊❤️. Rachel, I think YOU r a Fantastic cook, who I really enjoy watching. Whenever I want a fantastic Mexican authentic dish, I look to you! Thank you Rachel. I LOVE to COOK DELICIOUS FOOD of ALL KIND and I’m happy I came across your channel! Happy🍁Fall to you and the Family 🍁. God bless.
It is a pleasure to see you cook. You have a nice voice, sweet and calm. Your recipes are detailed, and w/w too much boring talk and most of all they are delicious. Thank you for having improved my meals. My family thanks you too!
Ohh my goodness Rachel, my grandma told me about seasoning the cast iron pan that was past down to me, however, I was never shown the proper way to care for all of my cookware. You are a true blessing from God to share these tips and tricks , I'm 79 Rachel & I'm still learning from a good honest home maker, I Love all ur videos, plz keep doing what you do BEST ! HAVE a healthy, happy & prosper New Year, 2025 ❤❤❤
Thank you for this video. I have a Lodge dutch oven, enameled cast iron that my husband gave me for Christmas several years ago. I love it, but the inside was stained. I love for my cookware to just sparkle, but was afraid to scrub this one. I tried your suggestion with the Clorox and water, and my dutch oven looks brand new!! Thank you so much!! Please do more videos like this, if it isn’t too much trouble. The way you teach as you go is so encouraging. I just love that you take pride in being a homemaker. Melody B in NC
What an awesome video!! I was mesmerized watching you. Now I’m going to pull out my pots, pans & cast iron so I can give them all a good Rachel cleaning. Thank you for all the hard work that went into this video. I pray you have a blessed day😊
THANK YOU so much for this video. I have a new cast iron dutch oven and have not used it yet because I didn't know what to do. Now I know! You're knowledge in the kitchen is priceless.☺️❤️☺️
Rachel: You are EXCELLENT in everything you do. Love ❤ your cooking 🍳 & now this lesson on how to clean the pots is AMAZING. Keep it up my friend! I will keep following your excellent videos forever. Thank you! 😊 God bless you.
I learned so much about caring for cast iron pans. I didn’t know they could warp and could be uneven with not drying properly or heating to fast. You could teach anything with your great step by step explanations! Thank you so much.
Rachel, I loved this video! I always comment to my hubby about your pots and pans you cook with. You have a wonderful collection. Thank you for sharing how you keep your pots clean. I love all of your videos! You are so gracious. I plan to make those green chicken enchiladas real soon!
Thank you! Another awesome video. I absolutely LOVE the full screen! Please continue to use the full screen! It is so much easier to watch and see what you are doing.
I take very good care of my stainless steel pans. However, I needed this demo to show me how to take BETTER care of my cast iron. Thank you so much, Rachel!
For me this is the best way to season your cast iron and care for them. Your the best ever!
Racheal, you are a magician. Thank God for you 👍
I saw your cheese enchiladas and it is THE most helpful enchilada video I have ever watched!
Finally!!! Someone that cares enough to tell people to SLOWLY heat up your cast iron!!! Thank you, Rachel!
thank you so much! I used bar keepers friend for years and never knew they had one for stainless steel! cannot wait to try :)
So simple but it works, your cast iron skillet is proof ALOHA
Yes.❤👍
That there are still folks left in the world that even give-a-darn about keeping their own cooking equipment clean and functional and used with care, is a testament to the genuineness Rachel brings with each of these videos. And, she will end up saving you money, from thinking you need to buy other items, since the stuff you own will look so good!

Your neighbor is very fortunate to get a shiny skillet AND a new skillet.
❤👍
thank you so much learned so much from you your the best
This is the most sensible way of cleaning your pots and pans. Rachel, you make it look so much easier than other videos I have watched. Going to get some Bar Keepers friend tomorrow.
I have purchased some cast iron from tag sales n they have a little rust. How do you season those pans
@@jofontaine8669 good question 🙋🏻♀️
Where can I buy it
@@ESTELAVARGAS6700 look on line or in high scale department stores like Macy’s etc.
I did clean my stain Dutch Oven with bleach and it really clean well . Thank you very much Rachel. Bless your heart.
Thank you for sharing and I like your method of cleaning and seasoning new cast iron. God bless you and your families too 😍🤠
You do everything the way I’ve done it all 3 of these for 50 years now. Half a century, and I still use my mother’s and my auntie’s (❤️rest in peace, all of them❤️) cookware! We all did it just exactly this way. And I still do. The last of these Mohicans. 😊
Young people now see this work and shake their heads. “No way! Too much time, too much work!” And they ARE very busy people! But… so were we. Right? 😊❤️👍
Thanks so much for this. It’s satisfying when it’s clean AND SHINING, isn’t it? Memories are held in those pots and pans. Great family memories. My favorites.
Thanks again. Well done. 👍
Rachel you are very good with that you have the skillet looking like it's brand new that is a blessing thank you and you have those pots and pans the same way that is beautiful thank you again Rachel
Your welcome, I appreciate your comment. ❤
Racheal, you have just shared with us, your fellow cooking enthusiasts one of the finest down home cookware cleaning presentations that I have ever seen. You reminded me of my mother so much, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! May GOD Bless you abundantly!!!
So Agree!.... Absolutely The Best Demonstration Presentation Out Here!!! thanks again Rachel....yer The Best!!~{{{hugs}}}~
It’s such a good thing for you to pass on the art of cooking and keeping the home. My sweet mama didn’t know these skills to teach me but I had Mrs Townsend (home ec teacher almost 30 years ago) and now I have you to thank for sharing your skills - most importantly with love to bless our family and neighbors. God bless you ❤️
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
Rachel dear...
I just turned 75 and love to cook.
I have learned SO MUCH from watching you.
Now following you, my food is WAY MORE TASTY
thank you from all of my taste buds!!! 💜💜
I feel home economics is a subject that should be taught at every school. But alas it has been done away at our schools in Pakistan.
You have the cutest accent. You remind me of my southern Aunts. Thank you for sharing your wisdom🤗
That's exactly how my Grandma & Auntie taught me to care for my pots pans & cast iron
Oh Rachel, how I wish you were my next-door neighbor!! I love listening to your voice because you’re so calm and you’re so welcoming and you just have so much kindness in your heart in explaining things to us so patiently especially when sharing your tips! I am so grateful to you in helping me learn how to clean my pots and pans!! I started sharing your videos with my daughters and will share this one as well! Thank you so much for all your teaching and thank Ron for being such a great camera man! God Bless You Both!! ❤️❤️
Its always good to learn something .. I worked dietary and i was the cook and the lady who was the aid had a cast iron it was so little itty bitty for her fat eggs and she would clean hers like this. I miss her she moved back to mexico Ms Otilia 75 year's old and still kicking. I like watching Rachel cooks with love❤😊
🥰❤
@Sandra Lugo One of my cast iron pans is tiny like Ms Otilia’s; I love it for making one egg or a grilled sandwich. Thnx for sharing this story about her!🤗
Hi there, how are you doing, hope you’re fine and staying safe….?
love you and your touches of love to all you do...!! Thanks for being you~!
Aww, thank you so much.❤
Mama takes care of her tools. You're a pro Rachel.
You are a breath of fresh air…. You really cook with love and it shows
You are an OG Mexican cook. You have so many traditional recipes that remind me of my grandma. God rest her soul. Ron is a very blessed man.
I love You ❤God Bless
Aww, thank you so much, that's so sweet of you to say. ❤️
This video deserves a million views! Your pans looked beautiful from when I see your videos. I definitely wondered if you had different pots and pans that I did. Ty for sharing your expertise!
Rachel thank you for being you. I love watching your videos. Thank you for answering all my questions about cleaning my stainless steel. Went and bought bar keepers friend today, CLEAN pans tomorrow. Thank you again!
Hi there, how are you doing, hope you’re fine and staying safe….?

This is the my first time watching one of your videos and I’ve enjoyed every minute! I have used Barkeeper’s Friend for many years. I have cleaned my enamel pots with scouring cleansers that contain bleach but I won’t do that anymore. I’ll just use the bleach itself and see how they turn out. My oldest cast iron skillet is 57 years old and almost looks like new. I also use Dawn and put them on the stove to dry. When I season a new cast iron pot, I usually put it in the oven for an hour to cure. I do like your method of cleaning your pot and pans. I learned a little something here and I will be watching whichever videos of yours I can find from now on. Thank you for sharing! 😊
Wow you are an amazing teacher 🥰
Good job Rachel. Keep up the good works.
Rachel does EVERYTHING with love! These are great instructions. I have watched other cast iron seasoning and cleaning videos but I think that yours is the best. Great tips for restoring the stainless steel pans too.
Love this comment! ❤️
Thank you so much for your comment. ❤⚘
Dear Rachel I love watching you Mexican Martha Stewart
Dear Rachel I love watching you Mexican Martha Stewart
Your a great lady! I’m going to keep looking for you.
Thank you Rachel. This is probably the simplest video I've seen on cleaning and seasoning all different kinds of pots and pans. You made it look so easy, while others make it look so complicated. I love your channel and so glad I found you.
I love her she really does cook and love 💕
Great tutorial on cleaning and maintaining your pots and pans!
Hi there, how are you doing, hope you’re fine and staying safe….?
Thank you for sharing this very informative video on cleaning cookware! I have a spotless home and love everything just so..but wasn't sure if I was cleaning my cast iron correctly. When I saw how beautiful your cast iron was, I knew I had to find out how you did it! Thank you for responding in the video I contacted you in.
You have truly changed how I cook now! I was always so intimidated when it came to making Mexican cuisines. I would just say to my husband, let's go out to grab Mexican tonight. When I found your channel and watched how you made everything step by step and so caring..I had to try. My first recipe I tried from you was the red and green enchiladas. Oh were they delicious! I remember thinking.."Did I really make that?"
Rachel, you are a wonderful, beautiful, down to earth cook!! I am so thankful to God for finding your channel! I have my husband watching you now as well! You are family to us! Thank you for all you have shared and taught me! ~Vicki
p.s. I made the chalupa's last night and they were absolutely delicious!!!!
Thank you my friend for the kind comment. I am happy to hear about your successes with your cooking.
Don't just love shiny stainless steel pans...My Dutch ovens has seen a lot of cooking ...they are old and a bit worn..but I love them...Thank you for your video on how to keep clean your Dutch ovens....I shall try your way for sure.
Great info. I keep lots of Barkeeper's Friend stocked up. I grew up using SOS pads on my stainless but those things can't hold a candle to that little gold can. I just got some new Lodge cast iron pieces a few months ago. I actually sanded the inside before seasoning them. It's always exciting getting new cookware but those pans that have been seasoned with love for years are the best. Women like you are as close to that Proverbs 31 model as we will see this side of heaven. You are a precious soul.
Thanks for the info and demonstration, Rachel.
I learned that I had been leaving too much oil in the pan after cleaning and also used too high heat. Thanks a bunch❣️
Ive gone thru a lot of replies to yr cleaning pots and getSA
Trying to find the product/ agent for cleaning pots and pans..i live in CT RSA. I think yr demos and recipes are fantastic AND yr garden trip i saw yesterday. Good luck pse continue.

Am happy to see how much you care about what your neighbors feel by lacking and you decided to surprise them ❤️👏👏👏

Every video you make is top notch.
Thank you Rachel
Ohh my goodness Rachel, my grandma told me about seasoning the cast iron pan that was past down to me, however, I was never shown the proper way to care for all of my cookware.
You are a true blessing from God to share these tips and tricks , I'm 79 Rachel & I'm still learning from a good honest home maker, I Love all ur videos, plz keep doing what you do BEST ! HAVE a healthy, happy & prosper New Year, 2025 ❤❤❤
Thank you for this video. I have a Lodge dutch oven, enameled cast iron that my husband gave me for Christmas several years ago. I love it, but the inside was stained. I love for my cookware to just sparkle, but was afraid to scrub this one. I tried your suggestion with the Clorox and water, and my dutch oven looks brand new!! Thank you so much!! Please do more videos like this, if it isn’t too much trouble. The way you teach as you go is so encouraging. I just love that you take pride in being a homemaker. Melody B in NC
Thanks. It is very interesting. The only thing is that I use alluminium fiil to scrub stainless steel , ovens etc.
I went directly into my kitchen to use your method of cleaning my enamel cast iron Dutch oven. It's in its Rachel bath right now until morning. 😀
Let me know how it turns out.❤
What an awesome video!! I was mesmerized watching you. Now I’m going to pull out my pots, pans & cast iron so I can give them all a good Rachel cleaning. Thank you for all the hard work that went into this video. I pray you have a blessed day😊
Hope you enjoy
You clean your pots and pans the way my mother taught me, good to know my mother showed me right.
You are awesome!! I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😫😊❤️
I love the way you clean your pots , they are so shiny. Thank you Rachel for sharing this with us.
THANK YOU so much for this video. I have a new cast iron dutch oven and have not used it yet because I didn't know what to do. Now I know! You're knowledge in the kitchen is priceless.☺️❤️☺️
Hi there, how are you doing, hope you’re fine and staying safe….?

I learned so much about caring for cast iron pans. I didn’t know they could warp and could be uneven with not drying properly or heating to fast. You could teach anything with your great step by step explanations! Thank you so much.
Rachel, I loved this video! I always comment to my hubby about your pots and pans you cook with. You have a wonderful collection. Thank you for sharing how you keep your pots clean. I love all of your videos! You are so gracious. I plan to make those green chicken enchiladas real soon!
