Iron pan. Best oil to lube it up in oven ("season")? Canola wears out in a month or two.
>>20693954COCONUT
>>20693954Season means to coat in plastic.
>>20693954Unironically, Crisco.Even Alton Brown agrees.
>>20693965>Use a non sticklol, those also last for a month or two until the coating starts to lose its power but you can't fix it. It also flakes and gotta be careful with the heat and can't use metal or hard wood even. Biggest scam on the market.
Use cod liver oil, it will make everything you cook more nutritious.

>>20693954the best way to use a cast iron pan is to use bacon grease or butter and only wipe it out.cleaning it only when you really have to. with soap water and a plastic scrub pad.
>>20693965yes use a non stick so you can grow breast from the endocrine disruptors, become a trap and not reproduce thanks
Butter seems to work better than oil.
>>20694072Ah yes. I love old dried up food particles and oil the next time I cook. For my cast iron and woks. I do all the other dishes first and in a fresh sink use only water and a dedicated scrubber to get rid of all the debris, hand dry and reapply a fresh layer of neutral oil before storage. Works like a charm.
>>20693969You can use any vegetable shortening, doesn't have to be brand name.
>>20693969as opposed to ironically? do you even know what that means?
>>20694417Unironically, no.
>>20694457Ironically, yes
>>20693954I dont understand this scam. You have to keep wasting oil to season the pan constantly. why. It just seems like a waste of effort and money. I'll stick with ceramic thank you.
>>20693954Beef tallow
>>20694537You only need like 1 spoon of oil and do it every few weeks depending on how much you cook, takes about 2 hours of which 1h45min is just pan in oven
canola is engine oil
if i season a cast iron pot with a thousand fucking layers, will it prevent rust if it permanently holds water?depending on your answer i might do a rust boil pre seasoning for real good adhesion and no its not meant for food processing, just dont want to handle with anti freeze all the time
>>20694963maybe in 1980s east germany 1:25 2 stroke shitboxesengines have way higher demands from oil than canola could ever provide
>>20695161Theoretically it should, if there are many layers of seasoning over all the interior surface. That being said, if there's any path of contact whatsoever through that seasoning no matter how small, water is going to win out.
Okay, am I retarded?I've literally never seasoned my Lodge cast iron and have had it for years.If it ever gets dry from cooking something I just add butter/oil/ghee/wd40 to it and cook on.I never clean it or rinse it.I just cook on it and let it sit then cook on it again.Nothing ever sticks as long as I coat any dry spots and I've never gotten sick.The absolute most I'll do is scrape out old burnt seasoning/remnants of food.My buddy seasons his like every month and I just don't understand how it gets so dry it's unusable.
>>20693954i gave up and just boil everything in water now
>>20695836Plebs and grandmas who cant lift cast iron believe in the “seasoned” mythReal cooks will roast their pan at 600F for several hours to clean it and just constantly latter it in oil of any type, it makes no difference If you had a campfire best way to clean cast iron in throw it in the firePussies will say it warps but it’s impossible to damage cast iron
>>20695797Lodge sprays their pans with electrostatic cooking oil much like car companies so you are guaranteed seasoning for up to two yearsBiggest innovation in cast iron in 200 years
>>20695845I've seen it get dry before but what's stopping people from just adding more oil to it?How is heating it up in the oven with oil on it different than heating it up on the stove top with oil on it?
>>20693954just give it a light brush of oil after every use
>>20695905No they use electrolysis to coat their pans in cooking oil They hook the pan up to electricity spray a oil mist with inverted polarity to the cast iron skillet and the oil magically attaches to the cast iron and really sticks in there
>>20695958So you're telling me I don't need to do an amature season job to my new lodge pan before ever using it?
>>20696993Nta but yes. Though I burned off all seasoning on mine twice, and just doing >>20695797 is enough to re-season it. Just cook with it it's not hard.
>>20695797>wd40lololol!Even if it IS mostly fish oilsISHYGDDTI personally like 3-in-1, you can actually FEEL the cancer creep through you like a little nibbling mouse.
>>20697088What about PB Blaster?
