Tasmantor posted:okay so I was hunting around and found some deals online. Don't know where you're looking but Amazon has a Lodge 12" skillet for $29. Enameled cast iron won't develop a seasoning and is better suited to dutch ovens where the enamel will allow you to cook acidic things like tomatoes.

Captain Trips posted:How exactly does cooking bacon help the seasoning, anyway? Is there something I should be doing with the grease, or is it just "cook bacon, receive seasoning"? After you finish the bacon, drain (save) the grease and use a paper towel to wipe out what's left the in the skillet. That should leave you with a very fine layer of bacon grease still in the pan. Crank the heat to high, and as the grease starts smoking, wipe the pan down with another paper towel. Repeat a few times until the surface of the pan is no longer shiny but slightly dull. Congratulations, you've just added to the seasoning your skillet same with. e: beaten

spankmeister posted:How do you season the walls of a cast iron pot effectively? The bottom is starting to develop a seasoning but the walls remain rough and sticky. Season it in the oven instead of just on the stovetop after cooking in it. Put the pan on the rack upside down.

What I do is wipe the excess oil/fat/grease mostly out with a paper towel, throw it back on the burner until it just starts to smoke, then take it off the heat and wipe the rest of the oil out. That way you get a little polymerization action each time you use the pan.

Welding gloves. They're designed to handle temps way higher than your oven can produce, have individual fingers, and are like 10 bucks a pair.

Don't strip it, just cook some stuff at lower temperatures and oil it up, then heat it till it just starts to smoke on the stove after you're done each time.
