As someone that loves cooking & uses their cast irons alot I have some tips I've picked up over the years:
- It's cast iron it doesn't care
- It's cast iron it doesn't care
- Flax Oil (the refrigerate after opening kind is best for this i think?), for me at least, is the best oil to use for putting on some seasoning.
- It's cast iron it doesn't care
- Do not leave in the sink - wash it and dry it and get it outta there asap
- It's cast iron it doesn't care
- Wash it with soap & water. "oh it'll strip the seasoning" you know what else strips the seasoning? Getting a hard sear on a burger or a steak. Making hotdogs. Day to day use of the cast iron pan. You are going to need to add a layer of seasoning sometimes and you just have to learn to live with it.
- I'm the baby gotta love me
- That shit with the kosher salt, vegetable oil, and a paper towel? Don't bother. Soap. A scouring pad.
