P.S. All home cooks and aspiring chefs worth their salt are aiming for food that taste like what our moms made for us when we were little. So it’s extra cool watching an actual mom rock out in the kitchen for a change with the legit sound of kids in the background. Respect. 😊

[@kathrynmoll86]

So agree with you! Isn't she the best family-kitchen chef on the internet?! Love how the baby gets so much bonding and rocking as she works away in her home-schooled environment. No frills, No fuss! Just as she is doing, my mom taught me how to clean (never wash with soap) the skillets (we all inherited) and it has been my kitchen treasure! Respect indeed! 🤓🤩

[@isabeljauregui3093]

I’ve watched A LOT of videos about cast iron- I’ve always been a little scared of not following rules, cleaning, etc etc. This is probably the best and most easy to follow video. I love this approach and it’s definitely not as intimidating as I had thought! Thank you!!

[@faithmustone2261]

Amen

[@chrissewell1608]

A Hot water soak and a scrub, is all you need! And its as clean as new in a few minutes! Ya just gotta keep it oiled, or you food will stick, and the pan will rust.

[@robinbirdj743]

Have you tried cast iron (it’s been 6 mos)? I hope so! Cast iron is no harder to wipe out than my coffee cup.

[@CMBauer]

This is a really cool series! I liked the sourdough starter one too, it made things seem waaay less intimidating.

[@Hillside-Hive]

We're a cast iron family too ❤️ Please do a milk kefir week in the life of!! So many feel intimidated by it (I did too when I started) but it's so beneficial!!

[@angelinamccarville]

I think I heard her say in her podcast recently that she doesn’t do much kefir anymore!

[@Hillside-Hive]

@@angelinamccarville ahhh... I do tend to jump around timelines so maybe I saw an old one? It's just such a wonderful thing to get into

[@mrsginny]

@@Hillside-Hive maybe you should make your own video about cause I'm just now getting into milk kefir and I need help

[@mikeway7207]

Love this. Don’t know why but watching folks cook and/or talk about cast iron is super comforting and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing so many of your cool techniques!

[@aprilyeno1919]

I love these week(s) in the life videos!! I’d love to see more!!! I’ve been making several of your recipes, Lisa, and my family thanks you!! My daughter calls you, “the pretty homestead momma”. You let this “city” family live a life we dream of through your sharing your family. Thank you! God bless and see you soon! ❤️🙏🏻

[@cheryllynn4238]

Great video! I never made sourdough or used cast iron until watching your videos. Now I'm a pro with both. It's been life changing! Thank you Lisa!

[@maryegerton6848]

I had a glass stove top and I used my cast iron pans all the time. It scratched the heck out of it but I didn’t care. I love my cast iron pans. My friends and family were kinda freaked out about it, but I figure it’s my stove, it was paid for, my pans, my life. And they certainly enjoyed what whatever came out those pans. So it’s all good.☺️

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Amen!

[@robinbirdj743]

Same. If she has her pans stacked on the stove, no one will see any scratches, anyway!

[@becky1789]

I've A glass top and I use cast iron.. I clean my top with soft scrub works great.

[@LoriAtHomeByTheCreek]

Lisa, how do you clean your oil filled rags/towels? How often? I'd be interested in knowing if you use the same one or two and how you store yours between oiling the pans. Also, do you use lint-free?

[@Melshed]

I was wondering this too

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I wonder too, but I think she isn’t real particular about how stain-free her towels are.

[@Melshed]

It’s more about the oil than the stains…. not supposed to wash in a washing machine.

[@LoriAtHomeByTheCreek]

@@Melshed yes, I don't care about the stains.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@Melshed Oh, ok. I wash oily things in my machine with Oxyclean and Fels Naptha.

[@DarleneDeSilva]

Just want to say thank you LIsa, thank you for passing on your knowledge in such an easy to understand way. Tonight as I am taking my sourdough bagels...puffed up high and beautiful....my two loaves of beautifully designed sourdough bread...and I too have cast iron that I use way more after being inspired by you....I thought of you tonight in total gratitude. I am much older than you and have learned so much from you. I miss the small woman’s groups that use to gather to share fun and knowledge. I am thinking of having a few friends over to share what I have learned from you in sourdough bread making. I have had a small group over that I taught how to make kombucha...we are bonded by our kombucha brewing. Love you and appreciate all that you do.

[@annayyy3]

This has been your most helpful video for me to date! I’ve had such a hard time understanding how to care for cast iron, thinking I was doing it all wrong until now!! Thank you Lisa!

[@184JMC]

I’m a new sub. And I have to tell you the day that I heard you say just wipe it out instead of washing constantly made a world of difference to me. And this video was stellar. I’m excited to really use my cast-iron more often!

[@newmoondarkmoon]

Hi Lisa! Is there any special way you clean your kitchen rags? Do you keep them separate from other laundry? What do you do once they are dirty but you need enough for a load? Thank you 💜🌹🦉🐇

[@AllisonBraddy]

Love this! I have always been so intimidated by my cast iron!! Maybe I will try again with it. Question- is there a special way you wash all those dark cloths you use? With them having oil on them.. do they get hung dry after washing or do you use a dryer. I have always heard to not put things in the dryer that has had oil on them.

[@michellemcelrath4545]

Wondering this too!

[@kathymccarthy9359]

🍳Aloha from Hawaii! Ever since I’ve been watching you I have built up my cast iron to 5 skillets and 5 Dutch ovens. I love cooking in cast irons and now realize that growing up on a farm, it’s the only cookware my grandparents had. The food definitely tastes better! I have gotten rid of all my Teflon cookware. And cleaning it up is so easy! Thank you again for another awesome video 😊

[@WandaKay4u2c]

Thank you! I've repeated these steps so many times only to have someone scrub away all my seasoning (again). NOW I can show them this video. The only thing I do differently is I use a chainmail scrubber. I find it to be a lot more durable and easy to work with (doesn't get food bits caught inside and very finish-friendly). Found mine online. AND shout out for your seasoning oil recipe. Works GREAT and is a thoughtful gift as well.

[@HannahHappyHomemaker]

Love the chainmail scrubber!! Soooo much better and I find it gentler on my seasoning as well!

[@lenapalmer323]

I have to ‘third’ the chain mail scrubber! Had it for years and love it!

[@doubleglfarms9750]

Good morning, Lisa!! Do you recommend a certain brand of cast iron skillet? Thank you so much for sharing this! Blessings!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Vintage from an antique store! Wagner and Griswold are good brands.

[@elizabethhampton8906]

Great video- we love our cast iron but this gives me some new ideas about how to keep it clean with less effort! One question-- How do you clean the oily towels?? I worry about oil spots on clothes since we don't sort much for laundry. Thanks for all you do!

[@LinenandWildflowers]

I have been using cast iron for years & love it. I have always used crisco shortening to season as my family has done for generations. It does look pretty sitting on the stove! ☺

[@englishmaninco8711]

The thing that made the biggest difference with cleaning my cast iron was making sure the pan is still hot when I clean it, think like cooking bacon and pancakes on a griddle , moving the finished food to a platter. Then immediately cleaning the griddle, before you eat. Just quickly with a green scouring pad and water. Then immediately back to the stove , which is still hot enough to dry it properly, but no risk of leaving the stove on. Which I’ve done many a time before lol

[@susanrobinson408]

Lisa, which brands do you use? I've found that Lodge has such a rough surface that I can't get them very non-stick. I like vintage Wagner and Griswold. I pick them up whenever I find them.

[@anydaynow7755]

You can take them down to the iron and then reseason them!

[@tonyajudd4570]

7:35 pm how come you use a dark Rowell is there a reasoning for it? I love watching your videos and hearing the Little ones in the back ground by the way your a good momma.😊

[@jukes243]

I care for my cast skillets the same way, Lisa. And I do have a glass cooktop. But, I lift my skillets to move them. I don't push them across my stove top. TJ is getting cuter all the time. Love hearing the kids having fun in the background.

[@kellyhawes8901]

Me too.

[@222k3]

I love how you go about doing your thing, lifting all the heavy cast iron while you have your baby on you - go mom, so impressive! I hope I am as good when it is my time to be a parent. Happy cooking!

[@kellenelimpert4369]

I have loved my cast iron for 40 years and its good to see you using them all the time! they are the most versatile pans I have! wish I had a stove like yours!!!! thank you for showing others how easy it is to keep this wonderful stuff usable😃

[@sailorgirl2017]

This is how I treat my cast iron pans which I received when my Dad passed away. They are from 1959. Still going strong. I also liveaboard a sailboat where there is a lot of humidity and I have no problems with them, but like you, Lisa, I use them every day. I do keep mine in my galley oven though which may protect them somewhat from extra humidity.

[@rebeccacole6910]

This video super simplified it! Definitely needed. I only bought mine when I moved out of my parents because I watch this channel!!! Even then I was nervous. I feel if this video had been out I would have been even more sure 🥰 thank you for sharing

Hi Lisa! Thank you for this great video on caring for cast iron. I am 68yrs old and recently transitioned to all cast iron cooking thanks to you! Your video confirmed that I am taking care of my cast iron correctly!

[@miknosilanooram]

I'm so glad you addressed the glass top stove usage with cast iron. I want to use it and I think if you dont bang it down or scrape it across it should be fine.

[@servantrose]

thank you!! I had the seasoning video on my playlist for a while, then when I saw this one it motivated me to watch both. I have cast iron and didn't know how to use it, now I feel confident and maybe can finally get away from the non-stick pans. I'm loving these week in the life of. maybe you will do one with ferments. someone mentioned kefir!

[@debraouellette7959]

HI , I enjoy your seasoning videos. I watched a few others and one lady said that you should season new pans 4 or 5 time in a row, so it took her 2 days to season, and also she said that you should only use Flaxseed oil. That oil is more expensive and goes rancid before I use it again. I like Coconut oil, in fact I use it as a make-up remover, and also as a moisturizer . Just a few tiny dots around eyes, on forehead, cheeks, a little more on my neck. It doesn’t leave your skin sticky, or greasy, then apply make-up!!

[@Itsabountifullife]

Thank you so much Lisa for making this video. My grandma showed me all this 30 years ago but I wasn’t sure I’d remembered everything. I was feeling a bit intimidated by cast iron. You reminded me that it’s easy and no big deal. I’ll definitely start using cast iron now. Thank you!

[@Psalm1500]

Good morning beautiful ❤️ Whenever I get the notification of a new video from your channel, I always need to set the scene or stage ready for the video to take place or I always have these ideas in my head about what the scene should take place as if it were happening. For example your videos remind me of chamomile, lavender, the color beige, fresh brewed coffee with no creamer, candle lights, a fresh clean breeze coming through the windows, sage, dim lighting, calmness, sunshine, peace, optimism, curiosity, family, friendship, non-judgment, hope, and patience. Now I may be wrong but this is how I perceive and how I feel every time I watch your videos and it puts me in the best mindset. Also, I never feel anxious, worried, distraught, hurt, envious, resentful, or start wishing I had or was... I'm totally happy just being me watching your content and that doesn't always happen on KZbin, because there are a lot of channels that show off a lifestyle and it makes you want those things, but when I watch your channel I don't feel that way I feel so much peace and calmness and gratitude and all I want to do is share that Joy I experience from your videos with others. I love the humility your vulnerability and your heart that shows through your channel. Thank you for the beautiful content. I love that you love what you do, it's truly beautiful. 🌸💐🌼☀️💕

[@susansmith7415]

Great information . . two things that might be considerations for some folks . .. cast iron pans are a lot heavier than stainless steel so that might be a factor for anyone with arthritis or for safety for children using them. Secondly, we eat a lot of fish and I've found that you must put soap on the pan to remove the fish smell and aroma. I only use plant based kitchen soaps and if used sparingly it should not damage the seasoning.

Since watching your channel I have been wanting to cook with cast iron. I received a large skillet for Christmas but was intimidated to use it because I wasn’t sure about cleaning it. This video was so helpful and greatly appreciated!!

[@alexyes4290]

Hi Lisa. I can tell my cast irons are a lot less smooth than yours. It can be because they’re newer, but still it seems like they’re very different. Do you think they will became smoother with the use? I have them for about 4 years, except for cleaning them with a metal sponge like you, I mainly use wooden spoons… 🤔 thank you for sharing that! 😘 Oh, I almost forgot, do you cook scrambled eggs in cast iron too? Because that seems to be the only thing that stick to mine. 😊

Now if I can get my husband to stop letting them soak in water and taking all my seasoning off!

I keep a small lint free towel in a plastic bag just for adding oils to cast iron. Once you use it a few times don't need as much oil.

I am using Cast Iron on my Glass Top every single day since 5 years now and have no Problems. No scratches, nothing.

[@rosemariesummers660]

I am a casual user of cast iron pans, but a couple issues have prevented me from taking it to the next level. (1) if you choose to put a cast iron pan away for storage, how do you prevent the oil coating from getting your cabinets greasy and, worse yet, attracting bugs or other critters? (2) If you wipe it with a tea towel, how do you ever get that towel clean? In my experience, it never comes clean in the wash. Furthermore, most clothes washers come with a warning not to wash anything that has been coated in oil, *even cooking oil*. For this reason, I have switched to paper towels for drying and wiping cast iron, but this is an imperfect and aggravating solution because it is incredibly wasteful and expensive.

[@glindamarine8248]

Your video has been so helpful. It helps me to know how to use, clean and take care of my first cast iron skillet 8in. Now it’s been another year, I come to refresh. Cuz I love my skillet so much I got a bigger one at 10in. Seeing my clean oiled skillet resting on the stove makes me so happy- no other pot/pan does that for me…. oddly mesmerizing

Glad I could help!

I still come back to this video from time to time. I bought another small 8” skillet from Taku ironware after my first 10” one. But now I have a dilemma. I recently got a Taku ironware cast iron pot 3L and I haven’t been using it at all after opening it - kinda regret it. But not un hopefully Would you or anyone reading this give me idea what to cook with it? I know I have to be extra carefully not to leave soup over night so it doesn’t rust

Morning Lisa!! This takes me back to days of my mom cooking chicken out her cast iron skillets using lard 😂.. They were her Grandparents and when she passed away my sister is now using them.. They have to be way over 100 years old but now… You’re such a beautiful person thanks for the wonderful memories!!☺️

So helpful to watch. I have a glass top stove and wondered about the cast iron on it. I have four different size Griswold (sp?) skillets that have not been used since we switched to a glass top stove. We raised five that are all grown and wish like crazy that I would have had someone like you to inspire me to cook. The kids did not starve, but I was woefully inadequate in the cooking department. My mother was not a cook, and her mother was not a cook. Learned a lot from my husband and his family. They were all good at it. His mom taught my girls, so they were better prepared. Love your channel. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. One more thing. Have not tried the sourdough. Very appealing process. I am GF, so need to look at that closer. Random comment. Sorry. 😁

[@TJ-kz1ul]

Hello, I have a glass top stove and we've been using cast iron for quite a few years now. It does not cause any problems. You just have to be careful because the pans are very heavy but for the most part we just store them on the stove and put them on the burner that is needed for cooking and have never had an issue.

Now that I’m older, I have cast iron that belonged to my mother and to my grandmother. I think people are intimidated by it, but it’s super easy to use and care for. I am really enjoying your channel . You’ll find lots of comments from me on old videos I’m catching up on.

[@tyrelnatashanuzum8956]

I would never have been brave enough to use steel wool (is that what it is?) On the pan. Loved watching the plant shoot up next to the stove. I enjoyed hearing the kids being loud and seeing the repetition if cooking, the fixed up but also messy hair... just reminds me of my life staying home.

[@Jellyjellu]

Are there some things you don't cook on cast iron pans? For example if you're making a sauce-y pasta, is there a point where you'd say this is too wet and potentially harming the seasoning? Tomatoes for example I have been told not to cook in cast iron as it could remove the non stick coating. Thoughts?

I struggled with cast iron because of how heavy they are, but I do have one single skillet that I bust out when I know it’ll make whatever dish I’m making taste better. I found my sweet spot with blue carbon steel; the maintenance is similar and it still gives your food that “cooked over the campfire” taste, just lighter!

My glass cooktop isn't a problem with the cast iron. I'm a rookie in using cast iron and I can't see not using it for most of my cooking. Lodge says cooking on the glass top is fine. Can I ask what brand of cast iron you use? Mine are slowly gaining a glossy look.

Great video Lisa! I actually asked my husband for a new set of cast iron for my birthday that was a bigger set than the little pans that I had. My question is since it's new it's very bumpy on the surface and will that go away as I continue to use it and become totally smooth like my other cast iron pans are? I am definitely sold on cast iron and will continue to use them either way ❤️

[@stevegordon5243]

the bumpy surface will smooth out over time as the seasoning builds :-)

[@cynthiafisher9907]

The new cast iron pans aren’t cast the same way as the old vintage ones. They will get a little smoother, but never be as smooth as the old ones. I prefer the vintage ones myself.
