  • What's with people asking stupid questions like:

    "Is there a good cheap kitchen rag I can buy?" or asking if the oven is in Fahrenheit or Celsius?

    WTF? Are you people kidding? The video is narrated in American English- take a guess what heat measuring system is being used. Besides, your oven set at 350 degrees Celsius would be 662 degrees Fahrenheit. Have you ever owned an oven that went that high?

    And where can you buy a rag? How about the store, genius! I hate you people.

  • My opinion, wash it, cook up 1 pound of bacon...pour off the fat...use salt and water to clean the skillet, dry it, heat it up a little again on grill, wipe entire skillet down with fat...throw it back on the grill cook up some chopped meat and you are old school seasoning...just like GrandPa... POW!

  • I bought one of these 2 years ago and I kept washing it with soap and steel wool lol I went crazy and got all dirty and then I put it away ever since andhavent used it I havent heard of cast iron till today .. better bring it back out :)

  • there is another type of pan you may want to try and not often seen in stores it is called black iron or blue steel. It is lighter than cast iron yet still offers excellent heat manipulation properties.

  • Dont wash with soap AFTER YOU SEASON....AFTER!!!!

  • @tacticalreaper Ass: she said the "new" pan "wash NEW UNSEASONED" !

    

  • its funny how she cleans the pan with soapy water and at the end she says NEVER clean with soap. i know never to use soap i just thought that was funny

  • I like the vid, but I need to know what the temp is, c or f? Will I need a good cloth or rag for this? Where can I get one?

  • thanks for the video! i now understood why my takoyaki pan sticks!!!

  • veg oil is no good, to season it properly use melted dripping

  • @1982FMJ In my experience, nothing beats cast iron for high heat frying, sauteing, making gravy, and especially, for a good southern boy like myself, making corn bread that comes out with the nice crispy brown outside. If your looking for something that works as well as cast iron, then why not just use cast iron? It's not really such a pain as you think, you can scrape it with anything you want without fear, unlike artificial non-stick surfaces.

  • @imisssoundgarden You save money in the long run because a cast iron pan properly cared for will outlast you, your children, and your childrens' children
