Thank you Tito4re, this is the only casting video I've seen that showed the whole process, wasn't 32 parts, and didn't waste time on pointless tidbits. Thanks for sharing.

[@asdaandET]

I was literally thinking "please cook with it - this video will be complete with a cooked meal" and then you started cooking with it. Definitely pleased.

[@Braddurs]

I like that he cast a skillet to cook an egg, but then ate with his hands. Cast a knife and fork next! Great stuff! Really want to give this a go myself.

[@brandyn3454]

Tito, no one else takes that much time to make a cast so perfectly that you get it right on the first try. Nice Job!

For lifting the iron pan out of the mold, I recommend using a strong shop magnet to minimize the risk of damaging the mold.

[@WapTek123]

[@user-qy9rg3nt2l]

@@WapTek123 He's talking about the cast iron pan used as a pattern. I think a couple small Magswitch units would have better control for removal.

[@riverbrabitz5225]

[@williambrown319]

Thank you. You've actually shown a step i've been missing. Should make my next casting project much easier

[@george.b.]

Nice job, looks pretty usable! Here's a couple of thoughts, though: Mold the sprue with the part, not after removing it, that way you avoid messing up the mold. I saw a Romanian dude using wedge-shaped sprues to make his pots, so he'd just hammer them off instead of sawing. You could also place the sprue away from the mold altogether, and connect them with a runner. Molding a pouring cup/funnel makes it easier with aiming the pour. Unless that baby powder is actually just talc, there are better materials to use as parting powder. Graphite powder, for example. Don't go throwing and mixing sand on top of the parting powder all willy-nilly, be more careful with the sand layer immediately after the parting powder and you'll get better results. Make yourself a proper crucible holder, you'll end up getting burnt using just those pliers, not to mention it's not really the safest way to hold a crucible full of molten metal. Hope that helps!

[@user-st8mb2is5v]

[@GoodOldGamers]

+bean eigth dude you just woke me up with this post! Here I am thinking he should not be eating off the thing cause of no telling what else is in the aluminum of the casting. And the aluminum itself is bad enough, heck I been drinking from aluminum cans and such all my life and have symptoms I never could explain. You just might have saved my brain from more damage, thanks for posting!

[@cup_and_cone]

+Good Old Gamers Aluminum soda cans are lined to prevent toxicity.

[@AbsoluteTrash_]

+Deadly Little Gamer also the amount of aluminium that you would end up ingesting due to using aluminium cookware would probably be very small and completely harmless

[@harrisonblake928]

+jamiepie123 ikr pretty much any thing is toxic in large dosages.

[@tomharrell1954]

Great job! If you will degas your aluminum before you pour it you will get smoother cast less bubbles. Use about a tsp of sodium carbonate forced down in the aluminum.

[@CoolKoon]

Wow, the casting came out really good (at first I was worried that your green sand doesn't have enough clay or it's too dry, but seemed to be good enough). How about trying plaster next time? It can be used to cast all the nonferrous metals that have a melting point below that of iron and it definitely gives you a better surface finish (MUCH less touch-up is needed afterwards). Oh and BTW you don't need that much oil for the fried eggs. Just a light coating of the pan (which barely covers the whole surface) is enough. ;)

[@jamalking6738]

Maybe you should do a video on using plaster or clay , would love to see it

[@CoolKoon]

@@jamalking6738 Clay's WAY too much hassle, which I don't even have the right equipment for. Plaster of Paris.....maybe, once I'll have enough time to do it.

[@MauroTamm]

+MrcabooseVG If you don't flip... it will burn one side to crisp by the time egg is fully solid-

[@McGrowsBeet]

+Mauro Tamm I don't flip my eggs and they are nicely done, no burnt side :)

[@Chayat0freak]

+Mauro Tamm cook one side, splash the top with the hot oil. it's not rocket science.

[@mrcaboosevg6089]

Mauro Tamm At that point you may as well poach the egg though. You get a spatula and splash the oil onto the top of the egg and get it slightly crispy on the bottom, it is difficult but flipping the egg is just a cop out

[@joshuadupont7172]

i was wondering if i was rhe only one thinking that

[@ludditeneaderthal]

seasoning the pan... all cast cookware has to be seasoned before use.

[@seigeengine]

You don't season a pan by pouring gallons of oil into it. You lightly coat it, subject it to high temperatures, and then let it cool.

[@maliki778]

i was waiting for the wire wheel lol good cast!

[@gummyelf34]

That is hella dope!!!

[@angelbecerra7758]

Can you actually use that skillet to cook? Without it melting?

[@Aleph-Noll]

is it safe?

[@nitroman365]

+Aleph Null Negative.

[@Aleph-Noll]

nitroman365 does it give a metallic flavor and all that along with some dangers of use. will you need to season the pot with oil after its done like with a cast iron pot? oe have some other coating

[@nicks2437]

+Aleph Null Copper transmits heat well but it corrodes very easily, so it is good for the bottom coating of cookware but not the food contact surface. Also, too much copper in the diet is quite hazardous to health and causes liver and kidney damage. Aluminum is almost as good at transmitting heat as copper is, but it doesn't have the slew of health hazards that ingesting copper does. Aluminum is still quite susceptible to corrosion and pitting though so you wouldn't be able to cook acidic foods in an aluminum skillet. If it went through the process of anodization then it might be okay for acidic foods.

[@typhoon37351]

+AmazonBoxie That's all bullshit that hasn't been proven

[@AhmedRw]

Ok may I give you a little advice about molding? Your method is perfect but the way you press the sand is make it not pressed very good and give you a bad surface on your casting Here's what you should do : Cut a piece of wood about 2 by 2 inches then make one side of wood like a pyramid ( for weight distribution ) after you filled the mold with sand use it instead of that peace of wood you have, simply place the flat side over the sand and hit it with rubber hammer ( coz it suck shocks and distribute weight more evenly) This thing good for 2 reasons First it make the inside of mold welly smooth and second it press it more which make the line between to parts stick better and less aluminum will exist and you'll have better edges . Just don't be afraid of using force, hit it kinda hard but use less force on second mold with that you'll have a perfect flatness between two molds Sry 4 bad English 😅 Love your videos keep it up 😘

[@plopthepspking]

I like the video. hate that you are using it for cooking. It is a health risk using an untreated and unsealed Aluminum surface for cooking. Even more if you cook with acidic foods. As a person that does a lot of casting, I would advise against this. Even just melting the Aluminum can be harmful to your health because of the vapors that the Aluminum makes when melting. I am not saying don't cast Aluminum, just take the proper safety precautions. .

[@whitephosphorus3274]
