I don't have any experience with Griswold but my Lodge is non-stick. I seasoned it properly and I have zero complaints.
@Liberty_DIY 12 сағат бұрын
Lodge pans are nonstick as is if you keep them cleaned and seasoned properly. This was an experiment to see if I could replicate the smooth casting of the Griswalds on a newer pan and get it to hold a seasoning. If you find a Griswald in a thrift store or yard sale, grab it, you won't be disappointed.

I have been cooking with cast iron and carbon steel pans for years. I have all kinds of cast iron pans including Lodge. All of my Lodge pans a babby butt smooth. One thing though, the olive oil you are using does not have a high smoke point and does not get hard like a grape seed oil . Flax seed seadones to hard and can chip when cooking at high temps. Grape seed is the most used oil for seasoning cast iron, you should try it.

Those who understand a high quality casting find a griswold. Those who don't appreciate quality buy a Lodge. And, some will even expend all sorts of time applying lipstick to a pig. But after all that just get a better pan which will not weigh as much.
@Liberty_DIY 7 күн бұрын
You are 100% correct. My experiment worked well to create a smooth surface like a griswald and some of the higher quality wagner pans and also seasoned well, but it did not reduce the overall weight.

Hey bro just wondering I am having a hard time getting that rear back tire castle nut loose, got any recommendations?
@Liberty_DIY 9 күн бұрын
First. Remove the cotter pin. If there is no cotter pin check to make sure it hasn't rusted or broken away in such a way that it looks like its not there. If its hidden in there drive it out with a small punch or drift. Otherwise try this. Avoid heat if at all possible. Drench it in PB Blaster for a couple of days and then try to tighten in just a bit before gently working the nut back and forth to break it free. All the brake stuff is right behind that nut so if you do decide to use heat, try using a propane torch as low of a flame as possible for a short time and then spraying PB Blaster on it right away so it gets sucked into the threads. Patience is key here since parts are hard to come by and expensive if you do find them. Good Luck

I think mirror finish is gonna make this more difficult to hold seasoning. I actually think a low grit sand paper (say 40-120) is going to smooth out the surface, but still make it such that seasoning will easily stick.

I made the same mistake with a 40 grit flap disc in an angle grinder. That thing will gouge some trenches in the metal. I would start with 80 grit or higher, and go coarser if needed to remove the metal. The big concern I see with the grinding and sanding is getting metal dust in your lungs. People need to do this outdoors, with the wind at their backs, a good mask over their nose and mouth, and eye protection.

Just for fun I tried to restore a real rusty old Lodge skillet. I used muriatic acid to dissolve the rust and after the bubbling slowed down I transferred it to a tub of water. When I took it out of the water, it flash rusted very quickly. Back in the acid, then water, then a solution of bases to neutralize the acid. All the bases I used, caustic soda, baking soda, washing soda... caused a black coating to form on the pan. I was able to sand it off and now have a shiny pan. but the sides are not smooth. I think if I was going to do another one I would not use the acid at all but just start grinding and sanding it smooth, but it was interesting to see how the acid ate up that rust. It will also CAUSE rust to form very quickly. I saw a youtube video from a man who left a container of it open in his shop and the fumes from it rusted a lot of his iron and steel pieces.

I just don't see the advantage of a cast iron skillet over a stainless-steel one, to justify the hassle of seasoning and watching so id doesn't rust. And the weight is almost prohibitive for some uses like flipping or "wobble stirring".
@Liberty_DIY 2 ай бұрын
I understand your point of view. Yes many of the modern cast iron pans are heavy and difficult to flip or wobble stir, totally get it. The older Griswalds are lightweight and have no problem flipping a pancake or an egg. The benefit to the cast iron pans is its a one time buy, they will last your lifetime and then some. The seasoning gets a lot of folks scared because the interweb makes them think they have to constantly season it with the same process as the initial seasoning. This is simply not true. all you have to do after each use is wipe the pan clean with a dry rag and put it back on the shelf. from time to time when you do that its a good idea to apply a small amount of the seasoning oil or grease of you choice to maintain the seasoning. If you overheat the pan while cooking or burn some bacon solid to it, then, yes you will need to do some heavy scrubbing and a re-seasoning. Once you learn the process and have to fix a mess up or to you will find that the way cast iron holds an even heat and will last for decades, you will be sold on them. I haven't bought a new set of cookware for my kitchen in over 15 years. Most folks buy a new set every 12 to 18 months to the tune of several hundred dollars in a lot of cases. And the rust issue, I have a 10 inch Wagner that I haven't used in over 2 years and its sitting on the shelf rust free, a little dust, but rust free. I will acknowledge that there are times when a simple stainless pan is perfectly appropriate, I have one myself.

Never use plant oils on cast iron. You should only be using animal fats such as lard or bacon grease. Butter is great as well. All plant oils create a sticky green film.

I am with you on that, Lard is a fantastic seasoning for cast iron as well as most animal fats. I have a limited amount of lard so I go with olive oil since its not a "processed oil" most of the time. You make a great point, thank you for sharing.

I agree it's not true stainless steel because a magnet does stick to it. Maybe just chrome plated is my best guess.

Thanks a bunch, Currently digging around to find a few more parts I need. Hopefully later this year I will start the complete restoration video series. FYI, the 60cc kit from Treatland did give me the bottom end torque I was looking for. Did not give me more speed but did give me a solid 25mph without any bogging down. I plan to change the gear/sprocket ratio to get me to 35mph max speed. anything more than that would be rather risky for this light weight of a bike but will make keeping up with most in town traffic safe and reliable.

You are absolutely wrong to season with olive oil as its smoke point is way too low & wont withstand higher temperatures (but you do you). Try, grape seed or peanut oil. My “bumpy Lodge slides an egg fine. Saying that, I’m considering smoothing out one of mine & your method looks good!
@Liberty_DIY 6 ай бұрын
I use olive oil or lard to keep things as natural as possible. Never tried peanut oil, gonna have to try that someday. A lot of the "seed" oils such as grape or rape seed I stay away from due to chemical processes to extract the oil in some factories. You do not have to get it as smooth as I did, I just wanted to see how far I could go without losing the micro pores in the iron that the seasoning binds to. 80-100 grit is more than enough.
