When asked what I wanted for Christmas, I mentioned a bigger cast iron, because my 10" is not big enough for steaks after sous vide. I did not comprehend how big 15" really was.

I can sear the whole fuckin' world with this thing.

Finally got to use my 15 inch lodge. One bag of chips, 6 cups of cheese, ground beef, onions, beans, and jalapeños makes for a shitload of nachos.

A 15" lodge is massive.

It's ridiculous, but I only had a 10" before and searing steaks after sous vide was a pain. I only wish my stove could actually heat this whole thing

I've been trying to strip and reseason an old Dutch oven this weekend and now I hate myself and cast irons and America and cooking oil. Shits all uneven and streaking and gross and dumb.

my turn in the barrel posted:

How did you strip it?

What oil are you using?

What temp are you seasoning at?

It sounds like too much oil or not w
Enough temp/time.

Two rounds of Easy Off in a trash bag and steel scrubbers, followed by a rub of vinegar

Canola oil

400° F for 30 minutes, then turning off the oven and letting sit for a couple hours

My guess is it needs more stripping on top of whatever else I'm doing wrong, but it doesn't seem worth the trouble when I could just buy a lodge for like thirty bucks

Edit: I mean c'mon

Cooked shakshuka the other night. RIP my seasoning. Every time I wipe it with a paper towel, more black flakes come off :negative:

I have found it is way easier to clean the inside, but oil dripping down the side while cooking might get "seasoned" on and I don't know how hard it is to clean off because I haven't bothered. I'd be nervous about trying to get it super hot for sous vide searing or whatever, but otherwise I think it's an improvement
