My Seasoning Cloth Routine

[@earthangel2590]

I loved the scripture reading at the end! God bless you brother!

This is my go to channel for learning about cast iron but there's one thing I do differently. If you'll use your wife's toothbrush to get into those hard to reach areas it'll work very well. For those unmarried folks a paint brush will do also. It helps spread the oil making sure everything is coated before you wipe it off. Corn stick and muffin pans can be real butts sometimes.

[@castIroncookware]

Corn stick pans are bad but those turkshead pans are evil. Lol.

You can always use the rag you intend to discard, to make char cloth for fire starting. You would take it and cut it into small pieces. Then in a small tin, (I use an old mint tin I've had for years) that has a few small holes, that will be covered once you put the lid on fully. This will cut off the air, to prevent combustion. You will place it over a flame. I use a small bbq unit, or do it over hot coals when I bbq. Once you see a fair amount of smoke you will use mitts or gloves to place push the lid fully on. I don't know how often you camp, or if you have a wood stove or fireplace, but I find chard cloth comes in handy, and if you intend to cook over the fire, I like this method over using the cloth bit dipped in the melted wax scraps bits of old candles. Hope someone finds this helpful.

Great idea 👍

[@frankmarullo228]

Good video Steven. I put my old rags in my fireplace and burn them. In montana my wood burning stove is lit for at least 6 months a year. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA....

Thanks for showing the Aunt Pittypat's skillet. I have one that I found years ago at a thrift store. It reminds me of eating there 40+ years ago in Atlanta. It's great for a small cake of cornbread. I think Cowboy Kent said he hand washes his cleaning cloths with Simple Green to get the grease out, then launders them.

[@robinmclain8992]

I really appreciate your videos and Scripture, also. I plan to order some EasyBeezy when I am out of avocado oil.

[@THELEIFMEISTER]

Merry Christmas! and I usually throw my old seasoning rags into my firepit!

[@jr-a-cat]

We just use the old cloth's for fire starters in my wood burner .I was just down in your area stayed in Winchester for couple of days and went right pasted Mountain top market on the way to my aunts house in Tracy City .

[@joniangelsrreal6262]

❤️ your videos… Merry Christmas to you and family C.I. Master…🎄

[@jd4810]

Very good tips. I'm going to setup a similar (smaller) kit . Thank you for posting.

[@rebeccalewis9480]

That was all very helpful. Thank you and God bless you and your family!

[@paulhare662]

Pretty much the same kit I have. One addition, I also have a pair of slightly oily cotton work gloves with mine.

[@mikelaney3026]

Good information young man!! God bless you and yours and God bless the USA

[@MrCastIron]

Great advice and tips as always buddy! Teresa and I would like to wish a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@castIroncookware]

Thank you. I hope that you and your wife have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year as well.

[@BobbiJo]

I use 2 cloths but I'm going to get a 3rd after watching this. Merry Christmas!

[@castironkev]

A professional set up! And i'd expect nothing less haha I keep mine in a sealed tupperware as well, then once they get stiff like a piece of cardboard its time to replace

[@Laura0IN]

Thanks for this video, I’ve been trying to figure out how to set up a routine and storage option, so others (hubby and our adult kids) can easily do maintenance seasoning. Since these seasoning rags are cotton, could we cut into strips and use as fire starters? We live rural and have both fire pit and wood burning furnace.

[@castIroncookware]

Yes, they do double as great fire starters.

[@johnf.kennedy5454]

Merry Christmas!

[@tim.demonbreun]

great advice as usual. implementing this system asap.

[@mrfinsfish745]

Great advice! 👍

[@maryhoover3210]

Great info. Really enjoy your videos. God bless.

[@justmyopinion9883]

Thank you for sharing this video. Steven, do you ever use coffee filters in the place of T-shirts for seasoning your skillets?

[@castIroncookware]

I have heard of people using those but I wouldn't think they would soak up enough oil.

[@justmyopinion9883]

@@castIroncookware OK. Thank you.

[@Janet-ku9gz]

Can I use these same techniques for a cast iron iron (for ironing clothes). It was my grandmother's and will be decorative only but it needs to be cleaned up.

[@raymond5194]

Thanks Stephen. My kid trying to place an order and the website is having trouble all day.

[@castIroncookware]

I had a little bit of an issue with my payment aggregator. Apparently I needed to update a form and did not know it. It has all been corrected now. I'm sorry that you had trouble with it. Thankfully I got a message from another customer and and I was able to get it taken care of.

[@margaretbailey1445]

Can you use EasyOff on cast iron to get old seasoning off?

[@waynedavis8658]

Are your DC power supply units holding up. Mine is less than two months old. The fuse is not blown but the unit is inoperative. I'm wondering if I did something. Looking for answers!

[@castIroncookware]

So far mine or doing well but I have taken quite a bit of time off lightly. I have not been running them as regular as I used to.

[@dylanbyrne4048]

Sir would I need to season a pre seasoned lodge cast iron pan?

[@castIroncookware]

You can always add seasoning to a preseasoned pan. Usually the initial preseason is just to get you started.

[@ozbazemore7575]

Great video . wear can I find a BSR book???

[@castIroncookware]

There's only one that I know of from an author that is self published and it is kind of hard to get a hold of. I am currently working on one myself. Hopefully it will be ready In the next 6 months.

[@ozbazemore7575]

Great I will be looking for it .I have the # 4 and 9 still looking for a 12 and 14 at a good price!

[@chadwiest1316]

Could you possibly help me ID some pieces that I’ve obtained? I’m pretty new to cast iron and I have like 4 pieces that I cannot identify. Thanks!

[@castIroncookware]

You can send pictures to my email. [e-mail]

[@RedProg]

Appreciate you Sir

[@tylercritelli587]

Can you use whitey titeys there brown already

[@jimsandall2073]

Why make it so complicate? Use a small amount of seasoning, wide it well with a rag, turn rag for a dryer area and when rag is to saturated throw it in the trash. One rag deal. I don't have the same rag for more then a couple weeks at most. If I happen to get a little crazy with the seasoning I'll grab a paper towel and do a light wipe to pick up some excess oil then move to my rag. After cleaning up a piece I use my current rag for its first seasoning and then throw the nasty thing away, no way I want to keep spreading the nasty stuff around. If the second seasoning leaves crud on my rag I'll pitch it as well. We wonder why people don't cook in cast iron? Well if I had to have a cleaning kit and bake my pans in the oven after each use I wouldn't use cast iron.

[@larrybarrow6931]

👍👍👍

[@dinodrizzle]

First comment!!!!

[@TedInATL]

I like to tell people that you should wipe the oil off like you don't want anyone to know you put it on in the first place.

[@williamlinzenmeyer7017]

I wonder why you're deleting all of the negative comments about your EasyBeezy product and all of the issues with it?

[@castIroncookware]

There have been no negative comments. By the way I cannot help what happened in the group. Rules must be followed. Attacking me or my product does not change that.
