yo, the part where she puts it in the oven upside down is important. she doesn't mention it, but the reason is to prevent oil from pooling in the bottom. had to watch another video for someone to clarify that.

If it's past its smoking point wouldn't just smoke or evaporate away? The reason why I ask is because I've been leaving it upside up for a while and have never seen problem at the end of the seasoning.

Got an unseasoned 10" cast iron pan for $10 around 30 years ago. They said "season it". I never seasoned it. I just threw some bacon in it and started cooking. They said NEVER use a metal flipper. I've used a metal flipper for 30 years. I never wash the pan. Occasionally I wipe it with a paper towel. It lives on my stovetop. I figure the pan has cooked at least 10,000 meals. Best 10 bucks I ever spent. 5 years ago someone gave me a rusty 8" cast iron that had spent 20+ years in a shed. I used a wire brush to take off the rust and then I.....wait for it.....threw some vegetable oil in it and started cooking. Don't fuss about your cast iron. Don't let it sit wet, and it'll cook for generations.

One of the common misconceptions about cast iron is that the purpose of seasoning is to make the surface non-stick. Seasoning is to prevent rust. Over time, cooking and seasoning will cause the cast iron to become more non-stick. I cook almost exclusively with cast iron, and love it.
@krzysztofwozny9742 Жыл бұрын
@Heaven & Hell Testimonies Non-stick pans don't really have the chemicals in them, but are made using them. There are concerns about wether they can stay in the pan and release if you overheat it or if it becomes scratched. There is a lot of conflicting information, so I can't tell how serious the danger really is, but the cast iron certainly is perfectly safe and healthy to cook with.

Been using cast iron my whole life and it's even easier than this video makes it out to be. I'd take these "rules" as guidelines since I've been using 3 cast iron pans, each about 100 years old, at least once a day since I was little. Dont waste your oil re-seasoning your pans every time you use them, you can just clean them with hot water and a scrubby sponge, I've never had one crack due to dousing it in water, rust only forms if you leave them to air dry, and as long as you use them pretty much daily, as I do, the layer of seasoning stays intact. Easy peasy, also they make excellent home defence weapons.

I bought a (then cheap) set of four cast iron pans more than fifty years ago and have used them continuously for more than half a century, I've never seasoned them or followed any of the other suggestions I've read, which in my opinion are mostly superstition. Here is what I do: (1) use them often, (2) make sure to dry them completely, and (3) store by hanging up on hooks. As to being any kind of trouble to take care of, I believe that they are actually easier to care for than the steel and teflon pans --- if you treat them with a little kindness they will thrive.

This video has been life changing for me. I learned more in your 6 minute video than I have in my whole adult life about cast iron. I never knew how to cook with cast iron, let alone take care of it. I've finally begun to make REAL use of a devastatingly under-utilized iron pan I got as a wedding present 4 1/2 years ago, and it has become my favorite pan ever since. I feel like all of my cooking tastes better now. Fast forward to garbage day... my neighbor threw out a cast iron pan that looked dried out, rusted, and utterly destroyed. The garbage men never took it. Cha-CHING! I brought it inside, applied what I learned in your video, and I restored it like new! I never thought I could have so much fun restoring a pan. I'm so excited about it that I've been spamming all of my friends with your video for weeks. Thank you so much for sharing!!

Once a month we'd go over to her house in West Miami (FL) and cut her lawn, and she would make fried chicken, mashed taters & gravy, and some sort of veggie & a home made dessert (apple turnovers, cake, pie - she was expert at Key Lime Pie and had a key lime tree in her back yard). That is a meal, I will never, ever forget. She's been gone since 1982, but I still remember those wonderful meals in the mid to late 1960's.....just incredible.

I cook my eggs every day on cast iron pans and the eggs never sick. If I purchased a nonstick I get a year out of the pan. The cast iron will last a lifetime. The cast iron cost 5 dollars at Walmart, and the nonstick is 20 dollars plus. I follow this simple rule, I never clean it with soap. I use hot water and a scotch bright pad. I always let the oil heat up before I cook and that re-seasons the pan. I just wash it when I am done and then dry the pan. It is not any more work than a regular pan. If you do it right, it will last and work well.

The key thing is to not use soap since it dissolves the oil seasoning you have and make sure it's not wet when you store it. that's how easy it is to take care of it once you've seasoned it.

My first pot I bought for myself after moving out of my parents home was a enamel coated iron pot. After some experimentation I went on to use non-stick surface cookware. It is great but it wears off relatively fast. For meat it wears even faster. Years later, marriage and off I started to make proper meals my already gone wife would never learn to appreciate and I notice that I still have this old pot. Great thing about this is that you can do a lots of things with it you hardly can do with non-stick and it will mostly forgive you. There was some learning needed but I noticed my results with steaks are much better and the big pot is a nice replacement for the oven too in some applications. The only problem I have with all this is that with my love for a good steak grew the need for a good wine. My waist grew too and my doctor is not happy. I do not give a toss tho.

Cooking/Cleaning up with Cast Iron: Preheat the skillet! Don’t move meat around, limit cooking acidic foods. Wash while still warm with hot water and salt and scouring pad. Towel dry. Dry again on stove or oven (prevents rust). Apply protective layer of oil with paper towel on the inside. Place on stove until oil is smoking (prevents oil turning rancid), turn off, let cool and store.

But my gosh is it great, i usually sear and use the oven so its perfect that i can just throw it all in there with whatever seasoning and vegetables i need. and cleaning isnt that hard once you get used to it- will try your version aswell!

Also, when I clean it after cooking, I wipe any excess oil out of the pan with a paper towel, bring it up to medium heat on the stove, then rinse it with the hottest water I can get out of my faucet and wipe it with the sponge side of a scrubber. It's amazing how well that steam will clear your pan! If any residual is left I use the green scrubby side to lift it off. Wipe with a cloth towel and put it away or heat back up to medium, then put a very light coating of Crisco. Let cool to room temp and put away. I know it sounds like alot of work but really only take 4 to 5 minutes not counting the cooling after reseasoning.

Let the knife do the work and season the steak with salt and peppa, and add a knob of butta and a few tablespoons of olive oil into the pan. Once the pan has heated, we are ready to drop in the steak. Mmmmmm. Let the steak sit until the edges turn into a beautiful brown. Flip. Hughhhh. Look at that. Serve.

You can clean it like any other pan with soap - the seasoning wont go off from that because its polymerized fat. The only difference from other pans is that u have to season it every once in a while just dont let it rust by storing it wet (but who stores stuff wet). Honestly, maintenance is just to sear some meat and clean it soon after use.. The guide is excessive (salt and expensive oil, FACEPALM).

When oil has been cooked on the surface it polymerization which greatly protects it against soap. The soap takes stubborn grease off while doing minimal damage to the coating. The key is re seasoning every time you use soap. Its really not a big deal, just don't use it unless it helps. Most of the time you can clean by deglazing, rinsing and wiping.

Indestructible, last forever, tend to get better with age 0:22 SEASONING 1. Use steel wool to scrub with mild dish soap --> get down to base layer 2. Get to hot water and scrub with tough side of sponge RULE: water will make it rust --> get as dry as possible before storage: dry off with towel and boil excess moisture boil off 3. Start seasoning process with thin layer of oil. Scrub it all over with a paper towel. And do your best to wipe it off. Flax seed oil is best but it's expensive. You can use canola oil 4. Put cast iron in the oven at highest temperature (400-500 degrees). Process will take about an hour 2:55 Results 3:00 COOKING 1. Pre-heat it (5-10 min) 3:30 If you put something in it just leave it, don't move around 4:45 CLEANING Find the sweet spot! Not too cold, not too hot. 1. Use hot water and salt and a non-metal scouring pad or rough side of sponge 2. Dry off with towel and then in the stove 3. Protective layer of oil. Turn on the heat until it's smoking.

Thanks for this informative video. I've been using my cast iron skillets and I failed to add oil before storing them but lately I just leave them on the stove and let them cool off because I'm pretty much using at least one within two to three days. I used peanut oil to season but I used a bit too much so I had this glaze on it which is no problem because the glaze is a nonstick glaze. If anything should happen to the skillets and they become dry again, I will use much less oil than I did on these two the first time. I gave my cornbread mold to a friend and she thought she had received a gift from heaven. I inherited my skillets from my mother. I love cooking with these two because, as you said, you can start on the stove and move them to the oven to complete the cooking process. again thanks for such an informative video.

Just put the oil in before cooking. For cleaning, I learned in Spain they only used olive oil and salt to scrub it (or sand at the river for large Paella pans.) Get a big bag of salt from like the dollar store. It's cheap. Wipe it out with a paper towel, rub with a little more oil and voila! Try it, it's fun.

I grew up in a home where we had a cast iron skillets! This video just complicates a really easy to use, good skillet that will never break ever! My mum's tip, get a really good quality skillet to begin with, and don't clean it with dish soap unless you've fried fish. Just hot water and a brush! We had fried fish a couple of time a month though, so it got cleaned with dish soap once in a while. Mum also used dish soap when she burned something which was rare!

Why only use soap for cooking fish?

Modern dish soaps (not dishwasher detergents), are perfectly safe to use on a cast iron. Don't be afraid to use soap. Especially since it usually can clean the pan faster and more effectively than just the hot water/salt routine. Also, you're chancing more rust by using salt as a cleaner verses soap. If you're just using water that's fine.... If stuff is really burnt on and soap is off the table, fill up the pan with water and bring it too a simmer. All the crude usually pops off quickly.

I often come back just to rewatch this video and appreciate all the time I don’t need to spend maintaining a cast iron pan xD

Real unsalted butter. Best season ever. What I do is season mine and wipe it out with a dry towel right after cooking always leaving that nights season in the pan. After I wipe it down from cooking I add more butter wipe it in with a no lent towel then put it up. It's my grand mother's been in the family since 1923. My mom always taught me this method and it's always nice to rub salt and pepper into a steak and get those years worth of season.

It's cause she's not trying to be a twat, she has a dribble of humor in her voice but also knowledge, and she's not trying hard to sound fancy or like a know-it-all, she just shares her knowledge. I am on there with you, usually this nasaly-ish voice annoys the crap out of me, but she's awesome!

Once you learn, it basically the same thing as a teflon pan except you can't throw in the dishwasher. When I first started, it was a PITA to cook with but now I can't go back. I wouldn't say it is more work, but I will say it has a high knowledge barrier to entry vs non-stick pans. I ended up messing up a $3 pan when I first started but I just cleaned it new and re-seasoned it.

Loled so hard. A guide how to cook with cast iron. In the past, all around the world everyone used to cook in cast iron kitchenware. Until very rich decided that it is bad for economics when the herd doesn't buy a new pan each year. In our family we still habe two very old skillets - one, 32 cm in diameter, made in 1913, and the other with unconventional 27 cm dianeter, made in 1922. Heavy as hell, but extra durable and dependable. Cooking almost evey day.

Ah, close to the standard 10" and 12" sized pans. Could be an explanation behind the odd sizing.
