My mother's cast iron skillet is about 100 years old. She watched your cast iron videos and decided to refurbish it. She stripped it, sanded it, and then properly reseasoned it. The bottom of it looks like black glass now.

A friend of the family just turned 88 and his daughter took him in to help care for him. She had to sell off the stuff in her parents house and she called us to look over what was left to see if we wanted anything. There was a very rusty lodge 12 inch skillet and dutch oven in a shed. They had bought it 60 years ago to take camping. It had never been seasoned. Just thrown on a campfire a couple of times. My wife called and asked if I wanted them. I couldn't say yes fast enough. She got it home and I immediately scrubbed off all the rust with steel wool, put them in the oven and did the cleaning cycle then when the door safety lock disengaged I rubbed them down with olive oil. Best pans ever. I make chili in the dutch oven and fry bacon and sausages in the skillet.

@666dynomax Год назад

man i want a dutch oven. lodge is awesome quality stuff even today, probably better 60 years ago. I've got a lot of pans now so many people don't want them I'm more than happy to scoop them up!!! I seriously canclean my cast easier than a non stick pan. I have one non stick pan left after eating most of the teflon off 10-12 or them overthe years... I use it for a cover on thecast iron when required to melt etc...

@uponeric36 Год назад

@BEANSPOBBLES I agree, can't store them on top of each other or with cast iron, can't use metal tools on them, and they can get teflon in your food. They're the sensitives babies of cookware only good when brand new for making fancy omelets lmao

@MarinaMichaels 5 лет назад

Unusual uses for cast iron: when I was 21 and living on my own in an apartment in a not-so-good part of town, someone tried to break into my home through the kitchen window. I grabbed my cast iron skillet and turned on the light. They skedaddled.

@peveral4246 2 года назад

@@1luiszepol This is how I clean my Lodge cast iron, it’s definitely not the best way but I’ve been doing well with it for the last 2 years 1) After cooking, let pan cool to room temperature (at least 25 minutes) 2) Wash out grime and residue with warm water, lightly scrape out any burnt food with steel wool (soaking the pan in water instead tends to cause major rusting) 3) Wipe pan dry and pour 2 tablespoons of canola/grape seed oil into it, place on medium heat for 2 minutes and rotate the pan so the oil fully coats its bottom and sides 4) Turn heat to high and wait for the oil to start smoking, let oil smoke for 3 minutes and turn burner off 5) Wipe out oil after 30 minutes and store pan in a dry, dark area

Lodge Cast Iron has been making heirloom-quality cookware and accessories since 1896. We currently operate two foundries in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, our home since the very beginning. Backed by over 120 years of experience, each piece of Lodge cookware is crafted for durability and versatility. We don't just make cookware - we make memories that last for generations.

@williamsanders2808 Год назад

I know this is an older video, but I have to put this in. Test all your cast iron for lead. Many old homesteaders used some cat iron to melt their lead for bullet making. They used many a Johnny cake pan for lead ingots for storing their lead. Once cast iron has been used for lead, it is no longer suitable for cooking, as it will leach the lead into your food. Test it before you use it for the first time, or better yet, get an instant check and test it before you buy it. If it comes up positive, don't buy it. And let the seller know why. Test it. Every time. I've had to pass on a few Griswold skillets and one WagnerWare fryer because of lead. The 3M test kits from Home Depot are handy, and pretty cheap. Also, some of the cast iron with enamel, had lead in the enamel. These were made before lead was determined to be a health hazard. Test those as well. Anything that test positive for lead, is useful for decoration, making clocks, or for collector display use only. NOT for cooking! Don't buy it, and if you do, don't use it for cooking.

@yearginclarke Месяц назад

This is very true. My dad used to use old cast iron pans for melting lead when making bullets.

@yourdadsotherfamily3530 4 года назад

Mines perfect for burgers I love it. Get 1/3-1/4 lb patties of burgers and prefreeze them. Heat cast iron to medium, slightly oil to stick seasoning on patties then pressdown hard for 2 sec to get it initially to sear 100% 1-1.5 min on medium>high heat, flip add cheese on top and use a tiny burger sized metal mixing bowl and a cold spray of water around the burger quickly put it on top of the steaming water and burger with the metal bowl for 1 min or 1.5 max for the most perfect burger with crispy cheesy edges I scoop right up onto the top of the burger 👌🏻 love these cast iron vid and tips that the community gives

@rightsideclyde1398 5 лет назад

Love your videos. I was tired of all the “non-stick” pans being advertised today. Copper skillets? What a joke. I went to a flea market today and picked up an 8” Griswold, 10” Griswold, a 10 1/2” Griswold Chicken Fryer, a #4 unlabeled skillet and a #3 Wagner skillet. All are in mint condition. I cleaned them all and seasoned as per your instructions and they are hanging above my stove. I can’t wait to use them. Also, my mom said she has 2 Griswolds. One is a 10” and the other 12”. The 10” has a lid and they got them as a wedding gift 60 years ago. They are too heavy for her and she’s giving them to me. I’m in cast iron heaven.

@BeKindToBirds 4 года назад

Copper is good stuff man, don't turn your nose up at having one in your kitchen. The heat transfer is really good, just like cast iron. It has its uses for sure. Think of it as the fast cast iron. It transfers heat real well and cools down fast too. So when you are cooking something where you don't need that long slow heat to stay in the pan it's a dream. I love my copper pans for cooking veggies or sauteed anything. Sauces, getting the flavor from the leftover in a pan. Things like that. Trust me, copper and cast iron is the dream team. One normal size copper skillet added to your nice collection is all you need. Anyone who doesn't like a copper skillet doesn't understand what they are for, same as if you don't like cast iron. Nothing can replace having both.

@kidzbop38isstraightfire92 4 года назад

You hit the jackpot if you found all of those pieces at a flea market!!

@marcarando 3 года назад

Be Kind To Birds cast iron and copper are quite different. Copper is reactive. This will heat and cool quickly and evenly. CI is retentive. It stores the heat but takes a long time to heat and cool. It is a dream team!

@ballisticcoefficientdepend9811 4 года назад

When my Grandfather passed, I was left with all of his cast iron cookware. I know for a fact that most of it (I can't begin to say how many pieces I was left, just over 3 of his homemade cabinets, filled tightly), is from the 1800's: things were passed down from his grandparents, to his parents and then to him. I'm really surprised most have brand names: Wagner, Griswald, Lodge and a few others. Some are really neat, one I think is for cornbread, it has seven or eight pie shaped sections, one piece is quite long, but has raised ridges running the length of the pan, or skillet or whatever it is. Right now they're in Pennsylvania still. I guess he knew Cowboy Kent Rollins was going to come into my life and teach me how to use everything. Once this pandemic is over, I can't wait to get up there and see what all I have to cook with. I've been too intimidated to use any of the pieces, but now I'm getting really excited about trying them, well some of them. Can't wait to start, and just take my time. Thanks for the video!

I now have other cast iron cookware which I use now including a Stargazer 10.5 skillet, a Lodge smaller skillet with lid, two Lodge 12 inch cast iron dutch ovens, a steel wok to do most of my cooking. I got tired of buying new non stick cookware and having to replace them every two years or less. I hope you all are having a nice week and may God continue to Bless you all.

I'd like to share one of my favorite tips/tools for seasoning cast iron. I've seasoned many, many pieces over the years. Go to town and get one of those medium/large bamboo wood lazy Susans. Get one bigger than you think you need. It is invaluable when putting oil on a hot piece of cast iron, particularly larger pieces that are cumbersome to handle. Just place the hot piece on the lazy Susan and start oiling. You can turn it easily just by touching the cool wood. It cuts down on the handling and chances of getting burned. Just keep it on the table/counter when not in use and use it as it is intended. It is by far the best thing I've come up with to help the seasoning process go smoother.

@speedy_g_345 3 года назад

I enjoy using a fresh coffee filter to wipe around the oil when I'm seasoning my cast iron. I've never thought to use a bandanna. Great tip. Momma only used cast iron. Like her momma did. I use our old three generation cast iron skillet everyday. I very much enjoy y'alls content. Thank you pard.

Just got a cast iron skillet today. This video was such a big help. I could listen to this guy talk about checking the mail and I’d be glued to it. He talks so throughly and clear! Thanks for the tips!

This was a great video!! Thank you for making it. I have shared it with my daughters (some who are prepper minded, have bought cast iron, but never cooked in it!) lol... You really covered all the bases. I often wondered why bacon fat was a no...but understand now. Have a WONDERFUL New Year, you and Shan and all the varmints!! ♡♡♡

Very informative Mr. Rollins. A quick coverage of almost everything. BUT, you missed one important thing! You look really cool while your cooking with cast iron! 😎

Howdy Kent! Greetings from the UK. I’m also a big fan of cooking with cast iron. Thank you for your posts about your posts on seasoning. It’s good advice and it works. Take care mate.

My mother just gave me my grandmother's cast iron for Christmas thanks for making the video it helped out a lot.

God bless you, sir. You have inspired me to broaden my cooking horizons. I was hesitant to attempt cast iron cooking until I watched your videos. The wife had to blow the Christmas gift surprise because I expressed wanting to buy some cast iron. She is getting me(us) a 12" cast iron Dutch Oven, for Christmas. Thank you so much for the inspiration and love for our troops. I tip my hat to you.

Just a couple thoughts concerning preheating the cast iron. I use one of those infrared thermometers to take it's temperature. When it gets to around 250ish degrees, I start cooking. As for my Dutch oven, I've cooked beans before and, so far at least, I haven't had an issue with my seasoning. Maybe because once I get the water boiling, I turn the heat way down and just let the dry beans simmer until done. You're also right on the button with absorbing iron. My wife has problems with low iron and that went away once I started using my cast iron. Finally, absolutely nothing tastes better than beans from the Dutch oven and cornbread baked in the skillet!

Mate i absolutely love your knowledge on cast iron! I've got a cast iron pot which has rust inside on the bottom and i need to get rid of the rust then season it. Thanks for your informative videos mate! Regards from Australia.

@epi2045 Год назад

I watched maybe a dozen seasoning videos. This was clearly the best one. However I do use paper towels… but good Bounty stuff.

Hope you two had a magnificent Holiday season! We started the New Year with that great Southern Tradition, Black eyed peas and cornbread. Cornbread is never so good as when it's done in a good cast iron skillet!

Thanks for the great advice on cast iron. I love using it in the winter to cook steaks. Too cold to grill in Canada -7F. Lodge is a great brand. When the border opens back up I will have to try some of the others you recommend. My kids and I really enjoy watching your videos together. Keep up the great work 🇨🇦

I use a lint free towel with bacon grease in it. I use the pan every morning for breakfast. The glass lid is normally in the draining rack. Not too good at putting clean dishes away

Hi Kent, thanks so much for this as i bought two small (3 in) cast iron skilkets from Walmart when i was studying in the beautiful state of Colorado in 2018. I have not used them so much but have recently started to use them more as i am fed up with the traditional stainless steel pans not holding heat so well. This video as well as the others i watched that you did are a real help. Thanks also for the voucher for the shop and email recipes you have sent recently. i wil be placing an order soon for one or two things especially thar red river ranch original. take care & hope you all staying healthy.Seán.

@JamesJohnson-ro2jq 5 лет назад

Thanks for the reminders. I wish my father learned how to cook with ‘iron’. I ate more burnt eggs, pancakes and anything else he would put in the iron. .But he did season it good.
