Or beef tallow. Don't forget the sea salt.

Yes, if you swirl the sea salt around with the fat, it is abrasive and helps the fat get into the micro pores of the pan, then wipe it out with a dry cloth when you are done.

You can also do this if you need to do a quick re-season of the pan. One of the tips I learned from a master European chef when I used to be in the business.

Big deal, I used to be an Executive chef, that used to work with Master chefs from France and Italy.

You can even use this method to season a stainless steel pan as well. Give it a try.

The best way to season a pan is with summer sausage.

Literally just start using it. Cook some bacon for breakfast, and let the remainder grease cool in the pan. "Seasoning" cast iron was dreamed up by the same type of reddit soys who obsess over beard grooming and whiskey as a personality substitute.

You can use seed oil if you want.

Heating the oil turns it into a polymer glaze.

I use ghee though.

I suppose it does tend to eventually get into the food though, but I guess it's hard to know.

Lard or bacon grease. Pancakes made in bacon grease is amazing.

[ - ] ToNigIsToNog 0 points 2 yearsMay 5, 2023 22:05:15 ago (+0/-0)

400 or more degrees (to the smoke point of the fat you're using) for an hour with the thinnest oil layer you can have. Basically as the oil heats with the metal and the metal expands the gaps molecularly get larger. in the normal state the oil would fit in and then get squeezed out when the pan cools and the metal goes back to normal. when it's polymerized the oil turns solid, filling in those gaps in the metal bit by bit to make a smooth surface. I wouldn't use bacon grease personally due to low smoke point. usually coconut or avocado is my go to

I just fat fry some chopped white onions and garlic in it, make sandwiches of the lot and then stink like a Frenchman for the weekend.

Wipe of the excess oil with pater towels and that's that sorted.

Bacon Juice,Lard or Tallow
Seed oils are like soap.
NEVER LET THEM TOUCH THE PAN
Curing videos all over jewtube,just avoid the fuckers and their seed oil seasoning bull shit.

It does not go rancid on you? I don't use mine daily or weekly.

Seasoning cast iron involves more than just wiping oil on it. When you heat that oil it polymerizes. It changes chemically. It's gone beyond going rancid. Many seasoning tutorials use bacon grease.
