oh yeah and I wouldn't bother trying to do it in your oven w/ olive oil since it has a relatively low smoke point. you need that bitch to get real good and hot, well past the smoke point, and if you value your apartment/house/kitchen whatever you're not going to want to produce as much smoke as that will

unfortunately it won't season right if you don't get it hot enough to smoke. some chemical reaction that some supernerd could probably tell you the name of... polymerization maybe? idk basically you're turning the oil into a permanent plastic-like coating which requires not-quite-burning it. unfortunately most ovens aren't going to be able to get it up to the probably like 600-650 degrees necessary. I just do my poo poo outside or in a deep fryer #yolo

I haven't had much luck seasoning stuff like they suggest either. I do it the long way I guess.
Anytime I have had to redo seasoning I do a light coat and put it on the stove on high heat for a few minutes, just long enough to get water to sizzle out of you sprinkle some in. Then I take it off of the heat, rub the pan with a paper towel to get any puddles out and let it cool down. Then the next few times I use it I use cooking spray or shortening to keep stuff from sticking. After a few times it usually has a decent non stick coating.

yeah, 400 doesn't do dick......sure it makes it look shiny but the first time i wash it after cooking (water only of course) it dries into a pile of rust again somehow

I coated mine with Crisco and it seasoned fine.
It did take a few heavy uses to get that nice black coating though. It started out just brown.

Lard, lots of lard. Stick it in your pan, then put it under the broiler and walk away. If your poo poo's already pre-seasoned and you're getting food to stick left and right, stop cooking like a fuckin caveman and use a proper heat setting. If you need to scrub that bitch and start from scratch, use a wadded ball of tinfoil to get the top coat off, don't gently caress with it beyond that - you aren't trying to take bluing off a bolt assy.

I like Bulleit rye. Also had some Alberta Premium a while back (which was fantastic imo) but I have no clue where to get it in the US.

Additionally, my roommate has been on a Manhattan kick and has been using Rittenhouse Bottled-in-Bond. Haven't tried it on its own yet, but A++ would Manhattan again

edit re Alberta Premium: "Although blurred out for copyright reasons, the distinctive bottle (and some parts of the label uncensored) can be seen in the Trailer Park Boys series as Jim Lahey's (John Dunsworth) brand of choice."

I also am a fan of wild turkey rye. Not a terribly big fan of bulleit though.

My brother, knowing nothing about whiskey, took a shot in the dark and bought me a bottle of Sazerac rye for Christmas and this poo poo is pretty drat good.

They literally don't make them like they used to. My parents' cast iron sets (probably inherited from their parents) are so much nicer than Lodge because back then they used to machine them smooth.

it's not that they were machined smooth, it's that they've been used so much more in the past than we use them now. people used to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for the same day out of those pans so they didn't have time to sit and rust in the cabinet because we're all a bunch of mcdonalds eating fatties.

seriously, great-grams probably cooked in that thing at least once a day



also I'm pretty sure the methods of making cast iron pans are significantly better today than when your great-grams bought her pan.

Nope.

quote:

Take a close look at the cooking surface of this new skillet. It's rough. Apparently, long ago, there were two grades of a cast iron skillet one could purchase. The first is where molten iron is poured into a mold and that's it. The second is where they take the first and machine out the cooking surface to make it much smoother. But that machining process usually doubles the price.

Today's new cast iron cookware is all the first kind. The surface is rough.

Old cast iron and new cast iron are very different beasts.

If discussing skillets, the two characteristics of a pre WW2 pan that first grab your attention are:

They are lighter in weight. The walls and bottom are thinner than a modern Lodge skillet.
They have a much smoother interior surface.
The lighter weight means you cook at lower temperature settings on the stove. The smoother surface is a result of the superb iron ore that was found near Lake Erie and also the machining that is no longer done to save on labor expense.



On the left is a Lodge 8SK 10.5" skillet. On the right is a Favorite Piqua Ware skillet of the same size. The Lodge is probably 16 years old while the Favorite is at least 74 years old.
Griswolds, Wagners, Wapaks, (and probably others) offered similar quality. Old Lodges were very smooth as well.
