de Buyer / How to Perfectly season a Carbon Steel Frying pan First-time/Bluing/What to do before use

Hi everyone ! I post videos from Japan !
This is the correct de buyer carbon steel frying pan seasoning (First time/Opening method).
de BUYER 5110.26cm 'Carbone Plus' (France).
Method of Triiron tetraoxide(Fe3O4) Layer coating(Oxidize )"Bluing"
This is how to season a carbon steel pan for first time. The work of making polymerized oil film on the surface selectively forming is omitted. If you use the frying pan every day, the polymerized oil film is coated naturally.
Do the same with a Matfer bourgeat black steel pan or a Turk classic frying pan.

[@Kingreddoberman]

I got my pan last week and have been researching different seasoning methods. They are basically the same with differences in oil choices and either stove-top, oven, or barbecue grill. This is brilliant!!!! It never occurred to me to blue the pan first. It's been working for gunsmiths for a very long time, it should serve well for my pan. Thanks a million, taisa, for taking the time to create this!!!!

[@Kingreddoberman]

This worked real good. Thanks again.

[@henkeH2]

Thank you so much for this video! i used your method on my DeBuyer B pan and it came out excellent! After heating, I seasoned three times with very thin layers of canola oil. Maybe a tea spoon of oil and the wipe it off thouroughly and then heat. The result was an extremely smooth pan, much better than my first attempt at seasoning, which I did in the oven. I think it is important that you wipe the oil off very thouroughly! No drops, or droplets, or even streaks of oil should be visible. If there is too much oil when heating, stains and blotches will form and this unevenness will make the pan less smooth. Since I have induction stove top, I used my gas grill to heat up the pan. I removed the griddles to be able to really reach the flames. The colouring process happened just like yours, from grey to black to blue to silver, pretty amazing! By the way, now that the pan is finished, do you recommend using metal utensils in the pan? I´m afraid to damage my beautiful surface.

[@taisa_video]

If you use a frying pan to stir meat and vegetables, do you hit the bottom of pan by spatula ? In that case, a wooden or bamboo spatula is better. I usually use a wooden spatula. Since I am Japanese, I also use long wooden chopsticks well. Therefore, the surface is not scratched. Still, I sometimes use a metal spatula. Moreover, it is so violent that the bottom is damaged. On the bottom of my bread, I can see the silvery skin before seasoning. But the wound will naturally return to black in 2-3 days. Dumplings are a popular food in our country. Original Chinese food. They steam or boil dumplings and eat them. However, Japanese people bake on an iron plate or an iron pan. At that time, burn the bottom of the dumplings and cook it so that it sticks to the frying pan. It is a pleasure to peel it off with a metal spatula. Anyway, let's try wood and metal spatula. You don't have to worry about anything. Because you have become a seasoning master. You can reseason at any time.

PSA for electric stove owners: I did this method on the exact same debuyer model (5110) as the video, 28cm. I heated it for 15 minutes on a 3KW stove on max settings (12). It turned black then blue in the center of the pan, but never went beyond blue. My guess is the temperature didn’t get high enough. Also it did not spread beyond the center, so the side walls didn’t change color. After that I let it cool for 15 mins then heated some veg oil and stir fried an onion. It was not sticky and tasted fine. Then I washed it with hot water (without soap of course) and dried w a towel. Then added veg oil again and cooked some sunny side eggs. Went pretty well with only a little sticking. I will keep replying to this post with updates. Overall I have no idea if this method did anything. My pan looks weird which is unfortunate, but it def seems less sticky than my enameled staub pot. I do wonder what would have happened if I just followed the debuyer instructions (the little booklet that came attached with the pan). Will report back again.

[@taisa_video]

If you use an inexpensive portable gas stove you can recreate this video perfectly. Do you see why I would bake the 5110 model on a gas stove or induction heater? The real correct reason is to burn the rust inhibiting clear that is applied when they are shipped from the factory. That is the only reason. Of course, the best idea is to burn the pan on the burner until it reaches a high temperature to generate the tri-iron tetroxide. However, if you watch all of the seasoning videos on my channel, you will see my point. I will write down my correct assertion. Please read it carefully. There is no need to do any seasoning at all.

for all the disbelievers, this is how woks are seasoned for first use in china. traditional and effective.

[@taisa_video]

I am Japanese, live in Japan. This is how to season a steel pan for first time. The work of making polymerized oil film is omitted. If you use the frying pan every day, the polymerized oil film is coated naturally. Most carbon steel frying pan users in Japan have been using this method for a long time to start the seasoning process. In the past, most woks in China were made of cast iron. After the end of Mao's Cultural Revolution and the opening up of China's economy in the late 1970s, China decided that it needed to develop its steel industry and organized an overseas inspection team. In the late 1970s, China organized a delegation to visit overseas. Japan and "NIPPON STEEL CORPORATION", which had the world's largest production of crude steel at the time and the latest technology, accepted the delegation and provided technical guidance and technology. Japanese steelmakers provided technical guidance and built a huge steel plant in China. As a result, China was able to produce large quantities of thin sheets of good carbon steel suitable for processing, and the inexpensive and beautiful Chinese wok we see today became commonplace. Many people in the world do not know this, but Japan has been providing economic and technical assistance to China since 1979. We continued to provide economic and technical assistance for 40 years until 2018, when we stopped accepting new projects, and all assistance will be completed in 2021.

Great video, this is how I season all my woks, best way

[@Smurfe04]

I just tried this yesterday with a Du Buyer Carbone fry pan. I put it on my outdoor jet burner on full blast for about 10 minutes. I let it cool till able to handle and then rubbed a very thin coat of flaxseed oil as that is what I had and blasted it again until it smokes. I let it cool and then repeated the process a total of 4 times. I then brought it in the house and fried an egg on my crappy glass top electric. The egg fried perfectly and didn't stick. Nothing has so far.

[@taisa_video]

Perfect !

[@dannyo3317]

I got similar results on one pan by oven seasoning at about 515-520 °F. That is just above the smoke point of the oil I used. Other methods say to go just below the smoke point, and I have done that on some of my pans. Right now, I am not sure which works best. Those seasoned at 450 °F yielded a golden brown skillet. The one I seasoned at 515-520 ° F yielded a dark blue grey to black pan, a very pleasing look that I prefer.

[@taisa_video]

Your method has one thing to be careful of. It contains one very dangerous thing. Your danger is the use of an oven. De-buyer's pans have painted handles. Heating the frying pan in the oven will melt the paint on the handle and stain the oven. The melted paint may be a toxic substance. Of course, if you put aluminum foil on the floor of the oven, there is no problem. I do not know which manufacturer's frying pan you have heated in the oven. This video urges everyone to carry out the work on a gas-stove to preserve the rust-proof coating on the handle if you use a DeBayer frying pan. Enjoy your cooking.

[@taisa_video]

not too late. but you may not see beautiful color gradation change. you can watch some movie on my channel about carbon steel pan. And you know how to use your bread. You learn how to manage it. And you come to the truth that you don't need to season your pans at all. The most important thing is to use the pans correctly and store them correctly. Once you know that, you learn that you don't need to do anything.

[@panagiotisgeorgakis4964]

Just ordered a De Buyer carbon steel pan . Could you please tell me how long this prosses will take ? I will use a portable gas stove top with a 3 kg gas bottle and a big burner for the initial seasoning and then I will use the pan on my vitro ceramic stovetop. The bad thing is that the handle is covered with an epoxy material and the pan is not oven safe. Thinking of burning and removing the epoxy cover , should i do it? Thank you very much for your very informative video.

[@taisa_video]

It will takes 20-25 min. I am not in favour of removing the paint from the handle of the De Beyer model 5110 or Mineral B. If your cooking style is to frequently put the frying pan in a large oven, then you should just buy a De Beyer's another model with a stainless steel handle. De Beyer sells carbon steel frying pans with stainless steel handles. The Pro model with an Eiffel Tower design on the handle is well-known (MINERAL B PRO / Ref. 5680). They also sell a two-hand grip round pan without a large single handle as ideal for ovens. Where are you from? Few Japanese kitchens are set up with large convection ovens like those in the West. Most ordinary households use small electric ovens with microwave functions. We Japanese are basically Buddhist. We don't have a culture that celebrates Thanksgiving, which is why we don't cook turkey in a large oven. At most, a small oven capable of baking a tall chiffon cake is sufficient, even for housewives who like to cook. In Japan, therefore, the style of cooking with a frying pan directly in the oven is extremely rare. By the way, there are other videos uploaded to this channel about De Beyer's carbon steel frying pans. Please take a look at those too. I am currently using the pan comfortably without any seasoning at all. People who have the skills to use frying pans correctly and the information to manage them correctly do not season them at all. For example, in countries all over the world, grandmothers in the past learnt and practised such things in their daily lives. Enjoy cooking !

[@panagiotisgeorgakis4964]

Thank you very much for your prompt replay! I am from Greece and living in Aigio a small town in north west of Peloponnese next to the Corinthian gulf. The pan I have ordered is a 28 cm diameter. I thought that by removing the epoxy cover handle I can finish a large thick steak in the oven .. its not a big deal .. I will see how it goes and next I will buy another one as you mentioned, from the pro line with a stainless steel handle ... or the other one with the two short handles. The oven in my home stove is length 42 cm x width 48 cm x height 35 cm and it is electric also can be used with air. Thank you very much once more for your time and kindness to inform me , take care and happy cooking !

[@taisa_video]

You do not need season, if you will buy "FOECR BLUE"(Blue Carbon Steel) series. But, you have to check "Thickness". Original "Carbon Plus" (carbon steel 5110 series) pan (bigger than 26cm) has 3mm thickness. Thickness is most important. The thickness of "FOECR BLUE" series should be thin. Not good for cooking. My 5110 / "Carbon Plus" series pan is for professional. I love 3mm thickness frying pan. It is good for cooking. You should know the details of the product before you buy it. Ask de buyer.

[@aaronmorgan8864]

I seasoned my pan by the manufacturers method but it doesn't seem to be sticking well. Can I go back and do your way or would I need to completely remove the seasoning I've applied so far?

[@taisa_video]

Remove the oil film and start all over again. My channels have all the information. Watch my video on how to remove the oil film with sandpaper. If you want your pan to turn black quickly, watch my wok seasoning video. By the way, you can only see a drastic color change in a frying pan right after you buy it. The 5110 series is coated with a clear coating to prevent rust. When the pan is heated to a high temperature, it turns black and disappears. You have seasoned it once. You probably will not see that color change anymore like this video. Advice. Food sticks to the pan because the cooking method and temperature are not correct. Food will not stick to the surface if it is cooked at the correct temperature without seasoning the pan. There is a video on my channel that proves this. You need to understand the science behind how food sticks. For this channel, I use a pan that has not been seasoned at all, with all the seasoning removed with sandpaper. In the first 3 months of use, the pan has performed wonderfully black. I will tell you the truth. Seasoning is not necessary. If you use the pan correctly every day, the pan will season naturally. It is important to know how to use it correctly.

The FORCE BLUE series has already been heat-treated and is officially advertised by Debayer. If you buy the FORCE BLUE series, no need to empty-frying it.

[@waldgeist9007]

The time required for the heat treatment depends on your stove. On the 3.5kW side burner of my grill, it takes 20-25 minutes for a 28cm skillet. Doing the same on my 9.5kW mobile gas stove only takes 5-10min. The skillet then is not seasoned yet, it's only heat treated. You can season it before the first use with one of the known methods or simply oil it and start frying food. It will develop a seasoning over time then. But a pre-seasoning helps protecting it from rust and food will stick less if there's a first layer of seasoning already applied.

This is a video showing what you should do before seasoning. You have two options after this. The first method is to coat the frying pan with a very thin layer of oil and heat it to create a polymerized oil film. The other is to use a frying pan every day.

intrestring method for sure.. only thing i did not understand was the use of olive oil. That's a high fiber oil with a low smoking point. why not grape seed oil that's a low fiber oil with a high smoking point. The low fiber will aid in a good patina without carbon build up. At least that's how i understand it...i made my own seasoning paste watching the "Cook Culture" youtube channel.. Still i really like your method of heating and the result looks good my compliments.

[@taisa_video]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using any kind of oil. Chicken thigh skin is sufficient. There are many people in the world who are obsessed with the methods and types of oil used for seasoning carbon steel pans, and even consider it like a cult. This video was filmed as a reminder that this is ridiculous. Burn the pan properly when you buy it. After that, use the frying pan correctly. That's all you need to do. If the cook has the skills to use the pan correctly and cook the food correctly, there is no need for any seasoning. On my channel, I show videos of me cooking in a raw carbon steel frying pan without any seasoning and a frying pan that is in perfect condition after three months.

Your question is not about seasoning. You know what cookware to use for what dishes. By the way, all you need to know about seasoning is don't cook with tomatoes (canned, paste, juice, etc.). They will oxidize and the surface of the seasoning will come off.

I had the same concern, but I loved the bluish color. . So I just did it. about an hour ago. It's beautiful and non stick and not warped at all. I'm happy I blued the metal first

[@sappersguild]

The two main causes to warping is severe uneven heating and temperature shocks. The uneven heating usually results from heating large pans (like 12") over small burners. The center gets very hot compared to the cooler sides trying to catch up, thus deforming the pan with this temperature difference. Shocking the pan like dropping some ice-cold liquid in a pan heated for a hard sear or dunking a hot pan in a sink is another easy way to deform the pan.

[@chrishall1407]

If you have a gas burner it shouldn't be a problem. However, induction almost always has a tiny heating area. I'd recommend against this method for induction. I bought a butane burner due to my built-in induction top being so aggravating in this regard.

Do you also have to coat the bottom of the pan with oil? Or does the Fe3O4 later protect it from rust?

[@taisa_video]

Do you normally handle your frying pan with care? How often do you use the frying pan? Where do you store your frying pan? How many times a week do you use the frying pan? I recommend seasoning the outside as well to create an oil layer just in case. I rub or slam the bottom of the frying pan vigorously into the Stove grates. That's because I often make fried rice. I use my Debuyer extremely hard because the carbon steel frying pan is so sturdy. I use Debuyer three times a week. Therefore, the outer seasoning is useless in my case.

Had the pan turned from black back to silver but rubbed oil on it too soon (too hot, didn't let it cool down). So the oil turned brown leaving uneven brown swirls of oil. But since it has turned silver/blue I guess the Fe3O4 layer is still formed. Now have to proper season it further with oil. Eventually will try to fry rice with this pan!

Will this work on lodge carbon steel pan?

[@berniem.6965]

Yes and no. Due to the temperatures required to blue the steel, it would burn off the factory preseasoning - which is the main selling point of those skillets. If you don't mind getting rid of the preseasoning, you can use the method shown in this video. But then again, you could buy a better skillet to begin with. I would recommend DeBuyer's MineralB or Carbone Plus series or Matfer-Bourgeat's black steel series (which is a rebranded skillet from A. Turk Germany of their professional line). If you already have a Lodge skillet and wanna blue it, give it a wash with water, a little mild dish soap and a sponge afterwards. It will remove the ashes of the old seasoning. Don't use abrasives, that Fe3O4 layer is quite delicate.

[@taisa_video]

This method is "how to make layer of Fe3O4". Lodge skillets don't need to be seasoned. However, if you cleaned your own old, greasy lodge skillet by scraping sandpaper off of it, you will need to rebuild a layer of ferrous tetroxide with this heating method.

Hi Taisa May I ask after doing this is it okay to follow the the seasoning using potato peel, oil and salt which mostly way of seasoning carbon steel pan which I have watched. I am waiting for my de buyer carbine plus 5110 model. And excited to try this before seasoning. I hope you will reply. Thanks in advance.

[@taisa_video]

No Japanese season a frying pan with potato skins, oil and salt. In my case, the first thing I do is to make stir-fried vegetables. And, I carry out high temperature cooking with oil on a daily basis. After one to two months, the frying pan is naturally seasoned. Make fried rice, bake bacon, or grill steaks. Tomato cooking is a no-no. Vinegar should also be avoided. The important thing is to use and maintain the pan. As soon as you are done using the pan, wipe off the dirt and oil with a tissue. If the pan is clean after wiping it with a tissue, you can do nothing with it. If you need to wash the pan, wash it with hot water only. Do not use a steel wool brush. Wash it with a soft sponge. When cooking with a frying pan, always preheat it to a high temperature before using it. Even if you want to cook at a lower temperature, preheat the frying pan until it is hot. If you want to lower the temperature of the frying pan, add oil or let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Impatient people can't wait two months for seasoning. Such people like to turn the frying pan pitch black with a layer of polymerized oil film. The method of making a polymerized oil film layer is simple. All you have to do is to coat the frying pan with very thin layer of oil and heat it to high temperature. After repeating this a few times, the frying pan will turn black. You can find videos of chinese wok seasoning on my channel. You will learn how to season a frying pan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKO4hIN4ftafiaM My recommended seasoning is to use the skin of a "chicken thigh". The method is simple. First, Preheat a frying pan. Next, fry just the skin of the chicken thighs. A lot of fat will flow out of the skin. This is called "chicken oil (Ci-yu)" (Chicken-fat) in China. It is used in ramen soup and as a finishing touch to fried rice. When you season a frying pan with chicken fat, you get a strong polymerized oil film. My wok seasoning video also is used chicken oil. This is my secret technique.

First of all, You can use your frying pan any-way without seasoning. however, you must preheat it to hi-temperture. And you must pour a little bit of cooking oil. If you use pan correctly (Never use dishwasher detergent...etc) , You will get a seasoned frying pan after 6 month. This video show how to make Fe3O4 layer. Why we need Fe3O4 layer ? Two reasons. One is to prevent the development of red rust. The other is that the oil blends easily with the surface of Fe3O4 (tri-iron tetroxide). Please imagine when you cook with frying pan. 5: Food / Meat, fish, vegetable (You can cook as you like) 4: Cooking oil (as you like / Never forget) 3: Polymerized Oil layers (You can learn it from other viseo ) 2: Fe3O4 layer (you learned how to make it from my video ) 1: Raw( Carbon steel / your frying pan)

It's unlikely for an electric stove top to get the whole skillet to the point it changes in color. The side walls will not get hot enough. Of course you can still use the skillet. The method shown in this video is optional and by no means mandatory to use a carbon steel skillet. Just use one of the common seasoning methods and start cooking. To get an idea of those methods, I highly recommend the KZbin channel of Uncle Scott's Kitchen. He has a number of carbon steel skillet reviews where he shows different methods to season a skillet (DeBuyer's 'puddle method', Matfer's potato skin + salt method and the oven method).

Taisa, I recently purchased my first deBuyer and have not seasoned it yet, as I like to research... Many different methods and yours is the first without using oil, salt and potato peels first, then coating with oil while heating... I am tempted to try your method, as it seems simplest, makes sense and the comment section seems filled with good results. Other than washing initially with soap and water, how did you remove the beeswax coating..? Thanks in advance for your help...

[@taisa_video]

You can forget about beeswax painting without thinking about it at all. This is because it is not harmful to the human body. Also, the paint will dissipate as soon as it is heated. All you have to do after washing the frying pan is heat it up at a high temperature on the gas stove. Then "Triiron Tetraoxide" (Fe3O4) is formed on the surface. Triiron Tetraoxide" (Fe3O4) keeps rust out of the frying pan. Once that's done, I'm sure you'll want to create a polymerized oil film layer. That's because a frying pan coated with a polymerized oil film layer will turn black and look beautiful and look like a magic tool your grandma used. It makes the food less sticky. Watch my video please "How to season a Wok" kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKO4hIN4ftafiaM To make polymerized oil film layers are very easy. All you have to do is to pour a small amount of oil in a frying pan, spread it as thin as possible and heat it until it turns black.

By heating the frying pan as empty, it is possible not only to make a layer of triiron tetroxide, but also to burn the paint applied at the production plant. If you buy a frying pan, the first time, you should heat the frying pan as empty as in this video. I'm currently testing for reporting on KZbin. The surface of a fully seasoned black frying pan was sanded and tested back to what it was on the production line. I've been using a raw frying pan without seasoning for several months. As conclusion 1 Even if you do not make a layer of triiron tetroxide, there will be no problem that someone will die. 2 However, without the triiron tetroxide layer, the layer of the polymerized oil film does not easily stick to the surface of the frying pan and easily peels off. 3 After all, triiron tetroxide layer + polymerized oil film layer = correct seasoning 4 A frying pan with correct seasoning is comfortable

[@taisa_video]

Never put the de-buyer pan in the oven. De-buyer's handle is coated with an anti-corrosive coating. The paint on the handles will melt and stain the oven. This is a big problem. First of all, You can use your frying pan any-way without seasoning. Frying pan works without any seasoning. We season frying pan to use it comfortable. What does it mean to be comfortable? The answers are two. One is to prevent rust. The other thing is that the food doesn't stick. You should first remove the sticky polymerized oil film from the pan. If the symptoms are mild, you can remove it with a metal scrubbing brush and dishwashing detergent. In severe cases, you can scrape it off with a sandpaper. I use a sandpaper around 400/800. This video shows you what you should do before seasoning. It's very easy to do. Just continue to heat the pan on the gas stove for about 20 minutes. This will create a layer of tri-iron tetroxide. After that, no special seasoning is needed. Use it every day. The oil film will be formed naturally.

[@veils1de350z]

Clean pan, heat up pan to approx 200 degrees, apply quarter size pool of oil, spread it over the top and bottom of pan with a towel. Then wipe it all off with another towel. Cannot stress this enough, it should look dry to your eye. Then you heat it in the oven for 1 hour at 500 degrees ( after 1 hour turn off oven and let pan cool naturally in oven) or you can do it on the stove top over medium high heat until the oil smokes. After smoke dissipates, turn off burner and let pan cool. Do this a few times for best results. Most common mistake is too much oil, which leads to the tacky sticky feel you described. Iron is pretty indestructible, so just experiment until it works for you. If not clean it out again, and try again.

The rust-proof coating on the handle will melt away and your oven will be badly damaged. I repeat. Never put a pan in the oven. You need to take a close look at the material your pans are made of. Frying pans like the German turk and skillets like the American lodge can be baked in the oven.

Do not use a steel wool sponge to wash the pan. 3) Wipe up any water droplets from the washed frying pan with a tissue or towel. 4) Then heat the pan on the gas stove for about 1.5 minutes. The surface of the frying pan will naturally reach 160°C or higher. Germs cannot grow. 5) Leave it to cool for 5 minutes. Cooking fish will not remove the smell from the pan.

動画ありがとうございます。私のフライパンの場合、最初に使用説明書とおりにポテトの皮と塩を使ってseasoning しました。しかし、使用しているうちに最初のコーティングが剥がれてきてしまいました。。。どうすれば宜しいでしょうか？

[@taisa_video]

この動画は、防錆と油の馴染みを良くするためには、フライパンの表面に四酸化三鉄Fe3O4の薄い膜をベースに作り、その上で自分で好みのシーズニングをするといいですよ、という案内です。ポテトの皮と塩では四酸化三鉄Fe3O4の薄い膜は生成されません。四酸化三鉄Fe3O4は黒錆です。黒錆びを発生させることで赤錆Fe2O3の発生を抑えフライパンの腐食を防ぎます。メンテナンスとしては、最初に紙やすり(耐水ペーパー)で全体を綺麗にして元に戻し、あとはこの動画のようにするだけです。油を使うシーズニング(重合油膜の層を重ねて作る)は好きにしてください。毎日使えば自然にできます。購入してすぐに真っ黒にアマニ油を焼き付ける人もいます。それは好き好きです。ガスコンロで作る四酸化三鉄Fe3O4の膜は薄いのでスチールウールで洗ったら無くなります。トマト料理も厳禁です。どうなるかの動画もアップしてますので見てください。もしフライパンを毎日正しく使って、使用後は高温加熱してしっかり乾かしているなら、シーズニングは本来は不要です。なぜなら錆びませんし自然に油膜もついていきます。そもそも食材が張り付く張り付かないは、また別の科学の話です。あまり細かいことは気にせず、毎日のように正しく使い正しく管理することが大切かと思います。

[@taisa_video]

No need to worry

[@fung5768]

What about the outside and the handle? Some people season them too and why?

[@alexchen5445]

Same reason why you season the actual pan - to prevent rusting.

[@taisa_video]

The handle of the de-buyer 5110 is covered with an anti-corrosive film. There is no need to season. The outsides are oxidized by the hot fire of the gas during cooking. It won't rust if you manage and store your frying pan properly. When you're done using the frying pan, wash it in hot water and reheat it on the stove to lose the moisture. If you live in a country where the air is dry, you don't have to worry about rust. I live in Japan. The humidity is very high in the summer, but it doesn't rust. If you want to season the outsides of your frying pan, you may want to heat it on the stove with an extremely thin coat of oil.

[@Fun_Dealer]

When did you apply the oil? It looked like you dried the pan and out it straight on the heat?

hi do I need to redo the whole process if I cooked something acidic with the pan, e.g. tomatoes? thanks!

[@taisa_video]

If you are looking for perfection, the answer is YES. You will need to perform the process in this video before seasoning again. To begin with, I recommend using a stainless steel lining or tinned copper pan for the tomato sauce. Stay home, Enjoy cooking, and please be careful with the COVID-19.

[@evangeloskapris9558]

For short time, probably not. For long acidic cooking (tomato based meat sauce for example) better to use a stainless.

[@annietogo]

Hello, I actually got the same one. Excited to firstly let go of the non stick pan cooking. Though I have a question: Would the first-time seasoning work on a ceramic stovetop? In Germany many households only have these, inductions or less and less gas stoves, but since my landlord included the kitchen I had no other choice.

[@taisa_video]

It will work if the frying pan itself is heated to a high temperature. You can also season with a portable gas cassette stove stove (Gaskocher Campingkocher) as an option.

Hello :) I've just watched this video, and your wok curing video, so to confirm the complete process For a de buyer carbon plus, (or similar), would be: 1. Carry out the wash and bluing as showed in the de buyer video. Wash only Once (in The beginning) not twice, as in the wok video. 2. Then heat a thin film of oil in a cold pan Wipe Down excess oil in the process. 3. Let cool, and then repeat step 2 a few times over. Job done. Is that correct? Does one need to let the oil burn completely to where it stops smoking in step 2 and 3? And if so why? Thank you once again! :)

[@taisa_video]

First of all, when you bought debuyer, do the same thing as in this video. In this video, I omit the process of creating a layer of polymerized oil film (seasoning). This is because the process of seasoning is essentially unnecessary. If you use the pan correctly every day and manage it correctly, it will be completely black after three months. You need to watch all the videos on Debuyer pans in my channel. I have proven everything. I took a pitch-black pan and brought it back to its silvery state, and I used the pan correctly and managed it correctly for three months without any seasoning. The Debuyer frying pan I am using now has not really been blued or seasoned. Even so, the pan has not rusted at all. The pan is black in color. I use it comfortably every day. If you really want to season it, you can heat it in the last state of the pan in this video and it will turn black and form a layer of polymerization oil film. Just pour some oil into the pan, wipe it off completely with a tissue, and heat it up. A polymerized oil film will be produced. I don't like to be asked a lot of questions or answer a lot of questions. I have been asked many questions here in the past and have answered them. You'll have to search for more of this paper on your own on this page. It's all in this video. By the way, you really don't even need this bluing video. I have proven it in another video.

Hi, any suggestion on how to nuke/clean the pan back to original new condition? I've seasoned it with the oil method and want to give this ago? Will it work if the pan has been seasoned using the oil method?

[@unlock-er]

Once you've managed to season it this way, do you normally wash it with steel wool and soap? Or do you normally just rinse with hot water and then dry it?

[@taisa_video]

If you want to restore the pan to its original pre-season condition, you can scrape the surface with sandpaper. I use #400-#800 sandpaper. What you should do after scrape the surface. 1/ Make a layer of tri-iron tetroxide (how to do it is shown in this video) 2/ Make a layer polymeric oil film. (I think, you can do that)

wash your pan hardly enough to remove all residue until the pan looks like the new from the store. then use this method.

I do not know which company your frying pan was manufactured by. I need more information about your pan. Ok, You alredy tried season your frying pan many time and you use your frying pan almost every day. Perhaps, Your frying pan may has got oil layers of polymerized oil film.

[@jasonmuller7074]

JH, your problem is simply that you are not getting the skillet hot enough. I had the same problem as you. I discovered I was being too timid on the temperature. Cookware like this seems to need one good season at *really* high heat. Just like this video shows. If you feel the urge to turn down the flame at any point, resist. There is no way you will be able to hurt the pan. Just make sure your range vent hood on high or keep a window open. You can also wipe the skillet with an oiled rag while it's screaming hot (use gloves to protect your fingers) and this will polymerize some oil onto the surface. This video didn't show that.

[@magno5157]

The color change will only happen if the pan is brand new and has never been heated at all. Since you've heated your pan before, you won't ever see that color change.
