Cast Iron skillet thread

[alwaysinshorts]

I have several pots and pans that I am going to do this to. Hopefully this weekend as it is supposed to rain. I have watched tons of videos so I think I know what to do

I have a newer 12 inch lodge that I use on the grill, and it will not season the way I want. I'm taking the grinder to that bad boy as soon as I get home!

After you sand it, rinse and dry it well. Then use your oven and re season it. There are several videos on You tube. I use Crisco to begin the seasoning process.

The best way I have found to clean stuck on food is to heat the pan up super hot and pour water into the pan like your going to deglaze it for gravy using a wooden spoon to scrape. Pour it outside then spray down with oil and reheat repeating a few times then put it up. FYI this only for serious stuck on stuff regular stuff I leave it and keep oiling over it.

Watched one yesterday of some buff chick with a sports bra on, she was buff but not too buff, I recommend this video [emoji28]

The Culinary Fanatic on youtube is one of the best sources of cast iron info.

We have four skillets, a dutch oven, a griddle and a round one we use for making/heating tortillas. Best thing I ever discovered was sanding the bottom for the best non-stick surface. My smallest skillet was left in my front yard 28 years ago and nobody ever claimed it. I sanded it down, washed and dried then seasoned. Best little fried egg maker ever!

Yes sir. I am slowly polishing all of my cast iron. Best move you will ever make.

LOL. Yikes!

I personally believe the most important part of the video is the seasoning of the handle, last thing you want is eggs stuck to the handle [emoji28]

I’m impressed that your rough one is nonstick. My first cast iron skillet (newer lodge) would never allow me to cook sunny side up eggs without them sticking, not matter how well seasoned it was, and from a good bit of googling, I wasn’t alone. After polishing it and re-seasoning, cooked eggs slid around like glass on it the first time (and every time after).

I personally like the rough bottom as opposed to a smoothed our bottom.

The rough bottom I feel cooks different. Air flows thru the spaces while the smoothed our bottom actually turns it into a griddle bottom.

I like the smoothe for cooking burgers for instance and eggs [emoji505]. While the rough bottom is I feel better for sautéing things like onions, potatoes, veggies and cut meats cooked with other things.

So in essence they both are great for purposes and versatile great pieces for the hunting camp.

You do not have to have a smooth bottomed skillet for it to be non stick. All the new Lodges can be non stick. The issue is with your cooking methods.

Lately, my favorite thing to do in my Dutch ovens is a Prime rib... For Christmas, I did 2 5 rib roasts in 2 ovens, then I made au jus with one oven and the best dang brown gravy I ever had with the other one. Took some of the grease/juices from each and made a pan of Yorkshire pudding pop-overs... The pop-overs were as big a hit as the meat! topped that all off with a deep dish Dutch Oven bread pudding New Orleans style complete with rum sauce... MMMMMM-Goooood!

AND it is so much easier to cook with iron and charcoal!

Cook Chef Sean Brock's buttermilk cornbread recipe in your cast iron skillet and you'll never make cornbread any other way again. All my children will know the recipe by heart. DANG GOOD!
