I bought a cast iron skillet at a thrift store, it is in pretty good shape. I didn't know I'd have black come off on the paper towel. I burned off all grease, on top of the stove. It takes a long time, but it sure gets clean. Then you just have to season it. I also do that on top of the stove.

I am 77 have never thrown bacon grease out. Use it for everything. Never strain it use the particles for whatever I am cooking and I even have a grease can like yours that I’ve had forever. Bacon grease is superior to any of the oils sold in the stores and a lot healthier.

I just bought the same pan and I'm about to try out the bacon 🥓 method cause I'm hungry.

I know this is a 2 year old video but I want to add my 2 cents with another little tip. It's best to NOT add cold eggs (or cold anything) to the pan. Bring your eggs up to at least room temp before cooking. Either set them out a couple of hours before use or place them in a bowl of warm/hot water from your sink. In other words, you don't need to heat water up on your stove top. Hot water from your sink is plenty hot enough. You just want to knock the chill out of those eggs. I recommend allowing meat to come to room temp before adding cooking as well. 😊

Hello. What can I do to clean my cast iron grate tops that sit on my stove top? I've taught four ladies to cook and my husband fries everything. I occasionally put it in the dishwasher and that helps a bit but it in no way clears it off. It looks simply horrible.

I bought my dutch oven for servival . To boil water, cook .

What about beef tallow? Doesn't it have the highest smoke point?

An overly smooth cast iron cooking surface does not hold seasoning as well as the textured cooking surface. But over time, the textured surface of Lodge will wear down. If you want a smooth cooking surface but the cooking experience of cast iron, then I suggest using carbon steel pans. I love Lodge cast iron and they are the only brand I buy.

In Europe, Lodge is seen as the more expensive holy grail in cast iron, since it’s so much more expensive over there.

I like Lodge. High quality at a good price !! I have about 4 or 5 pans. I love them !!

Reminder to my future self: preheat to 450

😊

Vegetable oils are horrible and inflammatory. I use lard 😊

Hey Mike , believe it or not this is my 1st time in my entire 30 years of life that im using a cast iron skillet 8 inch size so to be real honnest im going to cook 2 eggs as i always do i litterally purchase the cast iron today off the walmart shelf seasoned , decided that i wanna learn from others so that tomor morning i can fire up that ole cast iron and make eggs in the cast iron

I put a teaspoon of oil in my scrambled eggs before putting in pan.

Leave it in the husk and after 2 min. cut the big end off. Squeeze it from the small end and the corn will just slide out leaving the silk behind.

This man cooks a lot of bacon

Basically with Lodge, their supply exceeds demand

Think someone from Lodge stated they mostly preseason to prevent rust while in storage at the warehouse and stores. It's an alternative to covering it in Beeswax that is a bit of a pain to clean off

1 hour 😮 was that a joke

Great work Mr Cast Iron! I just watched 17mins of video about a grill I don’t need just because you seem like a nice bloke 😂 Sending love from Australia 👍

I came for the product. I subscribed when he said he washed his chicken

Will it fit in a 10.25 skillet?

Video title should be how to season your skillet in 1 hour and 45 seconds

I would love to see a video on how to cook with enameled cast iron, ie how to preheat it on both gas and electric, how to cool it down, and how to wash it. I have a Le cruset replacement that I am now terrified to use

Thanks for the video. What's better, avocado oil or tallow? And actually.... more importantly, can I mix them? I.e. 1 layer of avo, 1 layer of tallow?

Love it thank you for showing!

Hello Sir, Bought new cart iron vessel, its been couple of months haven't cooked anything in it yet because everytime I wash it, it turns the soap water black, washed it so many times with soap, liquid detergent, hot water, vinegar, baking soda, salt nothing seems to work, also seasoned it after every wash Please guide me

Seasoning isn’t rocket science, it’s polymer science, and it’s not simple, because even the thickness of the coating and the temperature you polymerize at is crucial and can mess up the coating! By the way, you cannot season by cooking, the thin film layer will not form during cooking!

I always use lard to season mine.

How do you get the ashes out?

I love lodge❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Is it dangerous to eat from the cast iron pot ifin it still has black on your paper towel?

What a great video. Especially enjoyed your accent and to finish it off with bacon, well just brilliant.

I almost walked home with a 10 inch cast iron, luckily I walked by the same aisle and saw the bigger one hanging on a rack.

My grandparents used metal spatula on cast iron I still use metal spatula the same one they used passed down to me

my daughter added WAY too much soap and we swear we can taste soap after taste, do we strip it down and season it?

Love my Lodge skillets

Thank you

I'm getting into trying to cook in cast iron. My granny used to cook in cast iron all the time. I miss those meals

Just found this, thank you!

You forgot flax seed oil and Crisby pucks to season cast iron.

Are you from Texas?

People cooked with cast iron long before steel pots .

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.

Thanks! Subbed.

NONE of these work for me. I can clean & scrub, clean & scrub all I want to with a mega amount of elbow grease and it STILL remains black. It's a Lodge and I've been wondering if the brand is the problem. My parents, aunt & uncles NEVER have this problem with other brands. I've tried the soap, salt, proper seasoning methods both on the stove top and in the oven and what a waste of oil, paper towels, and gas!

good deal let's eat em...Thanks...

Nice video thank you. I am wondering since I have the single Spike probe now, Can I add this new twin spikes probe to my same phone also? And if so, is it possible to use all three at the same time? Thank you.

Dont need to sand down a new lodge just season with olive oil on top of the stove on high heat with paper towel and in 2-3 month it will lose the "truckbed liner"
