season

ing created by the manufacturer and we will use traditional effort, a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid between warm and hot water and to scrub we will use the soft side of a sponge you can also use a stainless steel scouring pad or a

cast

iron

cleaning chain scrubber.

We will leave links in the video description. If your cast iron has rust, we'll leave a link to our video on how. to remove rust from our cast iron in the description of this video and we remove the manufacturer's seasoning because compared to the seasoning that we will give it is a light coating, we will give it a heavy duty coating that will help you keep That pan is resistant to rust and non-stick and since the enemy of iron is water, we want to go ahead and make sure we dry it completely and every time you use your pan and put it away, you always want to make sure it's dry. and preferably this would be the only time your pan will see dish soap again, but let's say it is, you'll basically have to season it one more time and the best way to make sure your pan is completely dry is to torture it. with a heat source and the easiest way to make it perform is by taking it to the stove and heating it for a few minutes, that is, if in the future you need to clean your pan you can use warm water or coarse salt to scrub and always remembering to keep it dry , we place it on the stove to dry.

Now that your victim has struck, we can go ahead and begin preheating our oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 232.2 Celsius. We also want to make sure to put down some aluminum foil. the middle rack of the oven while the friend zone chamber becomes cozy we can start by lubricating, that is, greasing our pan and for this we want to use a high smoke point oil, you can also use vegetable shortening or even lard and the best recommended. The oil for that is flaxseed oil, but if you don't have flaxseed oil you can use grapeseed oil, canola oil, or even vegetable oil, so no matter which oil you choose, we basically want to cover every corner of the pan. and the bathroom.

Now that we've glazed the pan and made it shiny, we're going to grab some clean paper towels and wipe everything down, although it looks like we're removing the oil, we're not because cast iron is very porous, although we can't see that most of it yet. it's there and we want to make sure we dry it as much as possible because we don't want to see any drip marks now that we confused our enemy by massaging it and now that our where the magic happens, the room is warm, we're going to take our pan to the oven and place it face down on the aluminum foil and we will leave it there with the oven on for an hour once the hour is up.

Let's turn off our oven and let our victim, that is, the pan, rest until it cools. Once our pan is completely cool, we could take it back to our torture, that is, our workstation, as you can see, the seasoning is already sticking to the pan. looking darker and brighter by the time we remove the pan from the oven, we want to make sure that we go ahead and turn it back on to our original temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 232 Celsius and we'll basically repeat this process for a minimum of two or three times until a maximum four to five times, the more layers you give it, the longer the seasoning will last or until it provides the information you have been looking for, we make sure to remove all the excess oil and then we place it in the oven one more time because this process It takes a few hours.

You want to do this on a day off. We put the pan in the oven for an hour. Once the hour has passed, we turn off the oven. We let it rest there in the oven until it cools completely. We take it back to our station. You tell us. what we want and in this case we're going to give it our third and final coat of oil and the seasoning process is something you want to do when you first get your pan and if you maintain your pan well enough this can last a long time. Always remember not to store your cast iron with the lid on as it could trap moisture and create rust when cooking high-fat foods. on your cast iron also helps with seasoning, if you ever notice your pan losing its non-stick powers you can always repeat the seasoning process to your liking, sometimes just one or two coats are enough for maintenance and the more you cook the more better be the cast iron
