Do I need to season a new lodge cast iron skillet? Folks, we got a brand new lodge 12-inch cast-iron skillet, and I'm wondering? Do I need to season this?
Well, the label here says that it's a seasoned cast iron skillet, but as you can tell, it's not completely seasoned like a well-seasoned skillet should be. Yes, it's pre-seasoned, so let's go ahead and get this thing washed and cleaned up, and I'll show you what I do to one of these.
The manufacturer suggests what to do and what not to do. So when I looked at the lodge cast iron seasoning instructions, I realized we had options to season or not to season.
If you want to know how to season a cast iron skillet the right way, then be sure to watch this video all the way through to the end, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

@jerrym3261 Год назад

YAY! Tell 'em seasoning comes as you cook! It's not rocket science and it won't save you if you don't heat your skillet first and add at least a little bit of oil before you put food in your skillet. I see so many people saying they learned from the "experts", seasoned their skillet with a nice thick coat or multiple coats and the first time they cooked, the seasoning flaked off and their food stuck. Cast iron is good for that. It's sad, so many quit because they got bad advice.

@MrCastIron Год назад

That's right, Jerry! You can’t quit because you had something burn or stick. You have to learn what works and what doesn’t!

@yusriyahbagheri8843 Год назад

Any time i get a new cast iron i strip it down to metal and put my own seasoning on it. Not only will it build your confedence in maintaining your cookware, but you will get it almost as good as teflon. I will never buy anything other than cast iron and stainless steel now. With proper care they both will last a life time, so much better than teflon or any "wonder pan"

@@MrCastIron hello and many thanks for responding to my comment and the additional advice. I managed to cook with the pan ok today. The first 2 rashers did unfortunately stick (suspect I had the heat a little too high), but the remaining rashers cooked fine. I cleaned the pan afterwards and I've re-seasoned it with ghee fat rather than vegetable oil (which I used the first time - unfortunately I didn't have any bacon fat) and left it in a warm oven for an hour. I'll see how things go next time. I appreciate this may take a bit of getting used too.

@Keldrath 2 года назад

it's totally fine and safe to wash em with detergents whenever. dawn dish soap and such wont harm the seasoning or patina in any way. Used to be an issue back in the day when we had stuff like Lye in our detergent which would rip right through a patina. just important to make sure its completely dry after and then gets its thin coat of protected oil and its good.

@MrCastIron 2 года назад

Exactly! When the soap was made with lye, it caused a problem. Big time! But as you say, mild detergent is not a big issue anymore. But because of the way it used to be, the old lesson keeps being taught and passed down with no consideration that even Lodge says it’s ok to use a mild detergent when cleaning and especially before the initial seasoning process!

@Daz555Daz 8 месяцев назад

Recently picked up a Lodge 11" square flat griddle pan and it is absolutely superb. It said pre-seasoned so I tested it first with some pork chops and it performed very well. I seasoned it properly myself though before I put some premium steak on there - and again it was excellent. I think animal fats are a great seasoning for people who use their skillet regularly. If you are the kind of person who only uses it for special occasions however, then I'd avoid them as they can go off and add a rancid taste.

lol all the crazy theories and techniques people use and this is exactly the way i was taught to do it. A 10.25” Lodge is my daily driver. When I first got it I was living in an apartment with two window units that barely kept the place cool and it was 90 degrees outside so I didn’t want to use the stove. I also didn’t want to use olive oil and have the whole place smoked out. I washed it, cooked a pound of bacon in it, poured the grease in a container for later, seared a NY strip, browned some brussel sprouts, and washed it. Then after I cleaned it I used the bacon grease to re-oil it. I did that every day after work for a week. I only cooked a whole pound of bacon the first day and I used it for sandwiches during the week. I did sear a strip in it with bacon grease every day though.

Bacon grease can work well if you use your cast iron pan very regularly. If you don't, the grease coating the pan will go rancid. Even after baked on. I have 1 cast iron pan I use regularly and use bacon grease on for flavor and constant use. My other less used cast iron pans I season with a high temp oil because that has better long term storage qualities.

There ain't nothing better then a beautiful ribeye steak on a nicely seasoned cast iron skillet. Steak butter and Skillets go together like red white and blue. A cast iron skillet 🍳 is like man's best friend. A good ol dog that's always by your side. If you ain't cooking with cast iron you ain't cooking

@Mr. Cast Iron thanks for the video. What I do is (and I own several Lodge Cast Iron pans-the heavy ones) is I use Cowboy Kent Rollins’ advice. I take the pan and sandpaper it down. I use a 40-60 grit, get near the base and then wash and rinse it off well. Then, I oil it with Avocado Oil or Flaxseed Oil or Grapeseed Oil and pit it in the oven on 450 for 60-90 minutes. Repeat the process 3-4 times. Beats me, after listening to others, why some take the seasoning off by dumping it in a big plastic garbage bag and pour some chemical on it. I’ll de-season it with sandpaper and then get a nice shiny coat. Thanks for the video.

@MrCastIron 2 года назад

You’re welcome, and thank you too! I haven’t ever sanded one, but I know some folks do. I like avocado oil and grapeseed, but I won’t use flaxseed. I think it’s way overrated. I sure appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us, though, my friend!

@LordStanley94 2 года назад

@@MrCastIron Ok. Good to know about your view on Flaxseed oil. Why do you think it’s overrated, if you don’t mind my asking? Yeah, I sand them down. In the process as we speak of sanding one. I sand the entire interior and the walls of the pan. It actually has a silverish color patina. This is when I then add a good coating on it and pop it in the oven. 3-4 time cycle.

Stripping the pan of the pre-seasoning is the key to a true non-stick skillet. Place it upside down on your oven's rack and run the self-cleaning mode for 60-90 minutes, then turn off and let cool in the oven for several hours. Remove, wash with warm water and a light dish soap, rinse, then dry completely and heat up to ~200F. If some of the grit of the pre-seasoning remains, you can remove the remnants with steel wool. Season with your oil of choice (mine is flaxseed) and bake at 350-375 for 90 minutes. Let cool in the oven and repeat this oiling process 2 to 3 more times and you'll have a perfect, non-stick skillet.

I figured just cook some bacon, leave the grease in it and then fry a burger for lunch, leave the grease and fry a steak for dinner. Now it’s ready to fry up some rabbit.

Thanks for "just" stating the truth and "facts" on cast iron skillets. There are so many (way too many!) people that put out so much smoke and mirrors and just plain B/S about cast iron...I have no idea where they get all their crazy ideas. We have 6 cast iron skillets, 3 of which we've had and been cooking in almost daily for 60 years (been married over 60 years) and they're all better than new and they were all 'used' skillets when my parents gave them to us in the early '60's. I've done nothing more to them than what you've described and shown in your video above. Want a good CI skillet? ... COOK IN IT every chance you get, I do! 😀

It's starting to 'smooth up' in the bottom from use and it cooks bacon & eggs & fried potatoes all with out sticking. The REAL key to using CI is learning the correct temperature for the pan to prevent the sticking. Mine is much BETTER than new now! :)

@AbsolutelyCasual 5 месяцев назад

1:03 seasoning should not be affected just by washing your pan with soap and water you really need to scrub it off despite what a lot of people think it's definitely okay to wash your cast iron skillet you just need to make sure you're getting off the thin layer of nasty stuff and not scrubbing off your seasoning and make sure you put it back on the burner for a few minutes to dry it

Interesting presentation. You obviously know your way around cast iron, and I don't disagree with anything you said. But... (There's always a "but", isn't there?) You really didn't answer the original question: "Do I NEED to season a new Lodge cast iron skillet?" You basically said, "It says "pre-seasoned", but I'm going to season it first, anyway, and here's how I'm going to do it." And that part looked good. But what you did not do is tell us why you believe that it needs to be seasoned again before use, nor did you test the new pan in any way to demonstrate that your belief was correct. So, interesting video. But we still don't know if we NEED to season a new Lodge cast iron skillet...

@brittanymiller917 Год назад

I recently bought a lodge cast iron skillet. It stated pre seasoned but want this skillet to last so I looked into it further and found a guy on tiktok telling his followers that originally he said to go ahead and cook with it but after a lot of feedback from multiple people he now recommends seasoning it 1 or 2 times before cooking with it because people were saying that they'd cook on it how it came and the next day it had rusted. So then I found this video on RU-vid and I think it's simple very direct and very easy to understand directions. Although he didn't say why his opinion would be to season it before cooking I agree with him seeing as I want this cast iron to last for a while 😊

@Texas_Red_01 Год назад

@@brittanymiller917 Thanks for sharing. Your post is suggestive. Your tiktok reference appears not to comment on how the skillet cooked on the first attempt, only that some of his viewers reported rust "the next day". I would submit that has more to do with how they cleaned and treated their skillet after cooking than it does on how it was delivered from Lodge. That being the case, your post does not reveal whether or not we NEED to season a new Lodge skillet before we cook in it. But that's all second hand. What was your experience? Did you cook on your new Lodge skillet before seasoning? Or did you season it first?
