How to Season Cast Iron on Your Stovetop

Stovetop seasoning is fast and effective.
I don't recommend it on a restoration where the cast iron has no seasoning, as it won't come out nearly as even as seasoning inside the oven.
I love stovetop seasoning to blend in/add additional layers of seasoning to the cooking surface.

This is helpful since I live in Japan and have no oven. I still need a good skillet for cooking those kobe/wagyu steaks 🥩. Now I just need to get ahold of that oil for maintenance! 😅

This really helped me, thanks man 👍

I use my castirons daily, about how often should I do this? I've been doing this about every third day, or when stuff starts sticking.... is this wrong?

[@cast_iron_chris]

You can’t over-season but sticking is usually a technique issue, especially if you’re seasoning that much. I only really do this if I’m not liking how my cooking surface looks aesthetically(maybe a steak took off some seasoning)

@@cast_iron_chris wow I must really do some more studying of cast irons. I love them, and hate Teflon. I'll rewatch you videos and see what I'm doing... I'll try baking them next time. Maybe that's my issue. 😥

My oil doesn’t smoke, and I am using medium high heat. It is grape seed oil. Any tips?

[@cast_iron_chris]

If it’s not smoking then the pan isnt hot enough

@@cast_iron_chris Okay, thanks.

I just season by cooking on it…

I cook on mine by seasoning it.

"You can literally see". Literally see? As opposed to what? The misuse of that word is becoming absurd. I've heard people say things such as "You literally know". None of it makes sense.
