Did an even shorter version of this and made the best omelet ever. Slid off the pan better than Teflon. Thanks for the videos.

@@CastIronCooking I"ve used a similar technique on a cheapo Wok and all my cast iron but i have an induction burner now that loves my new stainless. I've never had good luck with stainless, so this was perfect timing.

Please share this on social media or with your friends that have chemically coated Teflon pans, and stainless steel cookware and they’re in the cabinet collecting dust because they don’t know that you can season it. Just treat it like cast iron and don’t use soap. If things start to stick let it soak in warm water, and tell you can wash it off with a sponge. When you heat up the pan, if there are any cooties on the pan they will burn off lol*

Been using cast iron for a couple of years now, ever since I decided to get serious about cooking, but I’d never had a stainless steel until I gave myself a pan for Father’s Day. I too was unaware that I could season stainless steel, so I’m glad I found your videos! Going to use your advanced method to season it though, as I need it tonight, but I’ll let you know how it goes. Also, I can’t wait to work my way through your videos. I’ve got a pan that’s at least 85 years old, and I love the nostalgia I feel when cooking with it. 👍🏻

@zozygirl 10 месяцев назад

Hi! Just bought a ss pan and it had a sticker right in the middle. I took it off and I was getting ready to follow your instructions. My question is: do I clean the pan before (it has a sticker stain) or just proceed with seasoning? Or do I clean with Bar Keepers Friend and THEN season it. Sorry if it's a stupid question!

@CastIronCooking 5 месяцев назад

@CastIronCooking 3 года назад

*It should say in the video how often but it will wear off because it is not cast iron. You can make it last longer by treating it like cast-iron and don’t use soap. When things start to stick a little bit it soak and eventually you can use a sponge to wash it off. Glad you found a beginners version it’s OK if you screw up and it becomes really sticky because he burnt the oil to the pan. I know I did the first time!

Bought a new stainless steel 14" skillet for the church community breakfast we volunteer to cook. I am seasoning it tonight for tomorrow's breakfast and see how it will do on the commercial gas grates. Making scrambled eggs for 50+ is a cooking feat for amateur line cooks and I am hoping having a good skillet will make our eggs come out more tasty and a little less "crusty". Thanks for the tutorial!

@CastIronCooking 5 лет назад

*Wish I could be there! All of those eggs you mentioned are making me hungry ha ha let me know how it turns out. As soon as you see the first hint of smoke take it off the burner and set it aside so it doesn’t burn oil to the pan. Thanks for watching Mrs. Atkins😊*

I just moved to my new house and ditched all my teflon pans. I invested into cast iron and stainless steel pan. I read alot about cast iron before buying it to make sure i will have knowledge to season and take care of it, only tried it one yet. On the other hand, i have never heard about seasoning stainless steel and never thought about googling it, but i used it for a few weeks and everything was sticking like crazy (you can imagine my reaction, since i was used to teflon:S) i though i wasted my money, i even scratched it accidentally once trying to get rid of burns. I could not let it go so i found your channel. I am relieved to know i will be able to try seasoning it. Now what concerns me is how long this seasoning will last as process of seasoning will take a lot of time it seems also in my country there is no Bon Ami, so I hope stiff brush i bought for my lodge will fit here too :) Please let me know if there is anything I should now before giving this pan a second chance. Thank you!

@CastIronCooking 7 лет назад

+inguracka don't use a steel brush on stainless steel pan it will scratch it. I have a cast iron cooking video selection to show you how to do those and the seasoning will last forever. but on stainless steel I'm afraid they will last for a while but not forever. That is up to you just get the skillet really clean before you do this and don't use soap on it after you clean it the first time just like cast iron because it will take away the seasoning. I season mine 6 times and they last a long time

@lindaimbriale5970 Год назад

Thank you for sharing all this information! I couldn’t figure out why the SS skillets I bought had everything sticking to them. My kids like to cook eggs a lot and ruined every ceramic pan I had with a metal spatula so I thought using only SS would be easy. I know Teflon is unhealthy plus I have a parrot so I would never take that chance. I’m so glad I found your channel and will definitely be subscribing. I actually just bought a new green ceramic coated skillet that I hope to return after seasoning the SS pans. I love all your tips on where to find lighter weight cast iron as I’ve been learning to cook with those too. I love Staub pots too but they are expensive. The field skillet I have is all rusted which surprises me as that was supposed to be a seasoned pan. I guess not, if I follow your instructions can I still use that rusted pan? I was going to contact field company but your way might be more efficient the way customer service works lately. I have my grandma’s SS farberware set and the handles are cracking off but nothing every sticks to her pans so I didn’t want to replace them until I found something to cook with. I try to use natural products only so I truly appreciate all your time with what you share. I am going to look for your instagram page as well.

@frankenstein3163 3 года назад

I'm only on my 3rd smoking and I have caramelized yellowish stains. What should I do ? Is it because I used used oil ?

@CastIronCooking 3 года назад

*No it’s because you burnt the oil to the pan. You want to take it off as soon as you see the first wisp of smoke. There shouldn’t be any smoking that means you didn’t take it off quick enough. Glad you contacted me because you need to do the stainless steel and cleaning video in the playlist at the end of this video, or it is also in the information cards while watching at any time. You will need the barkeepers friend in the video to strip down the old oil. I did exactly what you did the first time don’t worry. That is why I made the video to show how to clean. I didn’t want to waste all the hard work I did so I went ahead and cooked on it until food started to stick and then I stripped it down. Remember you don’t have to do all of the seasonings in one day. I never do.*

@skafan85 4 года назад

Hi thank you so much for this info! I have a couple of questions... Can you use bacon grease that's hardened? Or does it have to be fresh? Secondly I just want to make sure I have the process down right.... Seasoned pans, you soak and wipe clean, or use barkeeper's friend? Don't use soap or you will have to season again... Thank you for your time! 😊

@CastIronCooking 4 года назад

*Yes you can. This bacon grease was hard and I just let it come to room temperature I think. Doesn’t matter. The barkeepers friend is when you are stripping down a pan to season. So naturally you won’t use it after cooking or you would strip down the seasoning. You had it right just soak and rinse. Until you get yourself an antique cast-iron skillet, so you only have to season it one time and have taken care of properly like my videos in the seasoning playlist for cast-iron it will last forever. I have a couple of pieces from the 1800s that I’m sure were cooked over an open fire cowboy style.All of the antique sir very light with a very smooth patina. I have a playlist on stripping it down and seasoning it if you ever get a chance to get one from the thrift store for a couple of dollars like I do. Just make sure they don’t wobble.*

Great video. I want to switch my unhealhty toxic cookware probably with this stainless steel (or maybe cast iron) and Im new to this seasoning things. Can I ask questions? How many times should I seasoned my pan? Should I seasoned everytime I want to cook? Or maybe just seasoned once but can last for several days? Whoever expert at this, your reply are welcome :) I need a guide. Thank you! :)

@CastIronCooking 5 лет назад

*First off you have to watch the whole video. I teach you how many times, and exactly how to season the pan. It doesn’t last forever like cast-iron, when you make it to the end of the video, you will see another video on how to season your cast iron skillet. There is no cheating or half measures to do this. If you want your cookware to look like mine, you must do exactly what I do of course. I’m so glad you made it to my channel Jelissa! Not a lot of females have the guts to do this, (proven by my gender demographics for my channel is 35% female only and 90% of that is stainless steel videos) they would rather serve their family toxic fumes in their food from their chemically coated pans, than doing a little extra work. Somehow along the line women stopped cooking with cast-iron and took the easy way out. Probably because now it takes two incomes to support a family, and there’s not much enough time. But if seasoned right it becomes non-stick. As long as you take care of it after cooking like in my stainless steel playlist and my cast iron seasoning/maintenance playlist. If you have any questions after watching the video then please do come and ask me here. You have an awesome week!*

Hi! I'm new to stainless steel pans, I'm going to do this. I do have 2 questions (and I apologize in advance for my ignorance). How do I clean the pan after each use? & I just need to do this once or how do I know if I need to season my pan again? Thank you!

@CastIronCooking 5 лет назад

*Great question! Just treat it like cast-iron, and use with water and a sponge no soap. When you heat up the pan the next time it will finish sanitizing it. I made this video for people that didn’t know you could season stainless steel cookware, so if you know somebody struggling please share this video with them.

They now have bar keepers friend in liquid form, I have it on my Amazon store the link in the description box below the video. Just be careful and do it lightly. Remember you don’t have to do all six seasonings in one day I never do. Unless you simply must cook right now and you have no other pan. Everybody burns it the first time, I just went ahead and cooked on mine and got some use out of it before I stripped it down. If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to ask.

So you add the oil to a cold pan spread the oil around the pan and turn on the stove to high. When the oil smokes, turn off the stove and keep the pan aside to cool completely. Wipe off the excess oil. Then repeat five more times; six times in all. Do I have it right?

I've just bought a stainless steel skillet. On the paper that came with it it says not to leave it empty over the fire, because it might burn or explode. Isn't this seasoning almost like leaving it empty? Should I be worried if I do that?

@CastIronCooking 8 лет назад

agatho00 no don't be worried. It sounds like you might not have a great quality Skillet because I've never had one come with instructions especially not one that says what your instructions say. but know this method has been used by restaurant chefs since before I was born and I'm 48. then when you get the hang of it I have another video just like this for people they have more experience doing it. you should also watch the how to clean a stainless steel Skillet in the information card in the top right corner of the video, so you will see how to clean it properly to keep the seasoning on after you use it. It is not like cast iron this evening will wear off and you will have to do it again after a while. Never use soap especially when you season it you have to let it soak and wash it off just like cast iron. anymore questions let me know! :-) PS as soon as it starts smoking take it off because if it sticks then you have to start all over again.

I just inherited 2 stainless steel pans that were about to hit the garbage because the person that bought them didn't know how to use them. I knew there must be a trick to it, and here it is. I learned cast iron about 2 years ago when I was the only taker on Grandma's old skillets and pot. Good lord, that big skillet is like lifting a small child on my arthritic hands so I was really hoping these stainless steel ones would be an decent option for regular use. My only question is, do they need a small top up layer of seasoning after each use, like cast iron, or no?

When the pan cools off completely, doesn't the animal fat solidify? Or do we wipe it before the fat solidifies in the pan?

*If you have too much it might do that it never happened to me. If you put the amount I did. Just do exactly what I do and you all have the same results. You don’t have to do six times in one day, I never do. Just make sure you take it off the burner as soon as you see the first wisp of smoke. If you mess up and it burns, there is a playlist and this video at the top right hand corner click the information card is any time.

How often do you have to season your fry pans?

@CastIronCooking 5 лет назад

*Depends. You treat it like cast-iron, and don’t use soap afterwards. If things start to stick soak in warm water until you can wash it with a sponge. Because of the surface material it will not last forever like cast iron but do it all six times if you want it to last as long as mine does. You don’t have to do that all in one day, I never do.*

@CastIronCooking 3 года назад

*When it starts to get sticky it does not last forever like a cast iron skillet. How often depends on you. Treat it like cast iron and do not use soap. Let the pan so cool little and then rinse it out. When you heat the pan up all the germs will be killed. If there are any. Sorry about the late reply for some reason I just got it today.*

I will keep going with almond oil. First layer looks shiny like a mirror. Almond oil has one of the highest smoke points of all oils. Can’t wait to try after final seasoning! In the past I throw away stainless steel pan as food was burning in it. I love SS pots for cooking soups, though. Long time ago I used cast iron pans, but forgot how my grandma and mom were seasoning them, I think they seasoned them couple of times using animal fat working it in with half yellow onion.

When you are wiping it out if it is sticky then you put too much on and you burnt it

@@CastIronCooking Thanks for the fast reply I'm really grateful. This morning I made some pancakes and it indeed became more stick so I will try to strip it, even watched your cleaning video. Dishwasher soap wont do much and we don't have Bar Keepers Friend here only similar, so I'm letting it soak in that. I thought about bleach but it destroys stainless so I quickly disposed of that idea. If it wont strip i will try it with sodium hydroxide(lye). I thought the soap will dissolve the layers because I've seen everywhere that it is not recommended to wash it with that but I think I overburnt the seasoning. I used refined, cleared and deodorized sunflower oil if it matters(the smoke point is about 250 Celsius). Is there anything else I could do to give myself an easier time?

Yes it rusted because you didn’t take care of it properly like shown in my videos. Too bad you didn’t see my channel first! Also you probably bought a rough grainy skillet, when there are plenty of antiques out there at the thrift shop. There are also three brands that are making smooth skillets right now. One of them is in the description box on my Amazon store. It is by Staub if you ever want to give it a go again. My skillet rusted at first but I am not a quitter, and there is definitely no way and inanimate object is going to get the best of me! LOL also even using the beginners method I made here, I burnt the oil to the stainless steel pan. I didn’t quit on that either I just cooked on it because I didn’t want to waste it and then I stripped it down, like in the stainless steel cleaning video in the playlist.*

@@CastIronCooking Hi, how long should I let the fat smoke ? I tried with vegetable oil (maybe bad choice), and after allowing it to smoke for a bit and letting it to cool down, the surface became very sticky. So i smoked off more and surface has now become Black.. I stopped at this point. what all did i do wrong ? thanks...

i got the answer from your replies to questions below. it looks like washing with soap and restarting the process is what i need.
