As someone who used to work in kitchens and has seasoned plenty of aluminium sheets, you’re best off using high quality cold-pressed rapeseed oil (canola oil). There’s also way too much oil on that pan, you’re as well using something like blue roll to wipe it on and wipe it off. You need to be putting on extremely, extremely thin layers at a time, virtually wiping it all off each time. The poster mentioning not to use metal utensils is spot on as well, always use a silicon spatula. Just thought I’d comment as this is one of the top results in Google when I was looking for Trangia stuff.

Look up a video by Helen Rennie, it’s called something like “how to improve browning on baking sheets” or something along those lines - that shows you how to season aluminium properly

[@aabbushcraft]

Thank you for the advice mate👍, never knew that coldpressed rapeseed oil was canola oil🤔 thanks for your comments

[@aabbushcraft]

I will look that up 👍

@@aabbushcraft no worries mate, keep up the good work. You're definitely on the right track with getting into seasoning your aluminium pots and pans - if you don't with some foods you can get a weird metallic taste, like tomatoes taste weird if you cook them using unseasoned aluminium, once you've got it right you're way less susceptible to those kind of issues.

I have found grape seed oil to be better than rapeseed oil, Les likely to go sticky. As Barry says the thinnest coating of oil possible is important or the seasoning will be prone to coming off the pan. I use the oven method, medium high heat for an hour with pan inverted, allow to cool and repeat 3 or more times. The time is important as it allows the oil to polymerise and make a long lasting coating. In these Energy crisis times I would now only 😅do this when cooking something else such as baked potatoes.

Never ever scrape an aluminium pan with a metal implement, ever! I love my 25 but the non-stick frying pan is a must, it will keep it's non-stick properties as long as you use a silicone spatula.

[@stationplaza4631]

Absolutely agree. Using silicon or even wooden implements for all pans non -stick or not, is a good way to go. Coatng them with a light wiping of cooking oil after use, seems to be the best way to take care of them. The seasoning technique, shown here for the alumimium pan to promote a non-stick surface, is very good as well.

[@aabbushcraft]

Thanks for the comments 👍

[@jimlydle4170]

I found this just in time, I was thinking about getting a coated pan but you just saved me £23 thanks very much. I've seasoned a steel wok but didn't think about doing the pan to my trangia. Nice vid mate.

[@aabbushcraft]

Thank you for watching my video 👍 hope seasoning the pan helps 🫡

[@sg7392]

A good idea when using the sparking rod pull the rod back from the striker instead of pushing the striker forward. A lot less likely to bump the Trangia spilling burning fuel especially inside.

[@aabbushcraft]

Looked back at this video, didn’t realise I had done that 😂 I normally do it the way you say 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@sg7392]

@@aabbushcraft A person I was camping with knocked a Trangia over lighting it which has made me very careful. Cheers Steve from Aus.

[@kissinconcrete]

Amazing work! I just ordered a 25-2 UL as I was worried about the non stick coating on the pan. I'm happy you are able to season the pans. I think one of those Chainmail Scrubbers for Cast Iron pans would do the trick.

[@aabbushcraft]

Thank you watching, I think the chainmail scrubber idea is an excellent one, I will give it a try 👍

[@robtherover]

Good idea that. Never knew that was a thing that could be done. Cool vid.

[@marzsit9833]

just like steel or cast iron. i've been seasoning bare aluminum pans for years as well and people that i show them to are always surprised to know that it can be done.

[@aabbushcraft]

I Love cooking on Cast Iron but it is so heavy! Most people think you have to get the metal back to a shine instead of letting it get a Good Seasoning on it 🤔 Thank you for the comments 👍

[@lenrice7482]

awesome video - thanks for posting

[@aabbushcraft]

Thank you mate 👍 I did this video a long time ago and my pan is getting better and better with the none stick, I treat it like a wok. Thanks for the comments.

[@40mosher]

Scraping metal utensils will remove the coating anyway

[@aabbushcraft]

Yes

[@willisblevins3759]

Nice show thanks

[@aabbushcraft]

Thank you so much for your comments 👍🏻

[@mariogalarza5036]

Thanks 😊

[@aabbushcraft]

Thank you for watching 😁

[@StevenSiew2]

If you had to scrape it off then it is sticking to the pan.

[@aabbushcraft]

Really 😳

[@hypo345]

Even seasoned pans may need some assistance to remove burnt on food but this is normally just some warm water, no washing up liquid or the seasoning will need to be done again, and soft side of a scrubby sponge.

[@aabbushcraft]

Totally agree 👍

[@BennyCFD]

It didn't look like it worked too well........................Just use butter or oil too COOK with.

[@aabbushcraft]

It worked great, but would have been better with chicken breast 😁

[@yetidodger6650]

it stuck.

[@aabbushcraft]

I find that after a couple of go’s seasoning, it works great 👍
