Tyshawn shots fired at Mikey Alfred and Illegal Civ

[HeavyAndExpensive]

I remember reading somewhere that the whole “don’t use soap” thing comes from a time decades back where soap had an additive that was bad for the seasoning/cast iron. If your pan is seasoned properly, a little bit of soap here and there won’t cause any problems.

Lye soap I believe

Non stick guy for life. I got that Teflon coursing through my veins!!!

bringing this back because I need some questions answered

I haven't used my cast iron since June, would it be safe to say I would need to season again for it to get it back to cooking standard

do you guys recommend a steel scrubber? looks medieval to me

Is there rust on it? If no, you should’ve ok to cook on it and see. Just try something small or simple on it.

And I seriously cannot stress this enough: it’s ok to use soap on cast iron. If you seasoned it properly, don’t let it soak in the water, and then use heat to dry it off and run in a little oil after it’s dry and while it’s still hot, it will be fine.  If you’re just wiping out a cast iron with a paper towel, it’s just gross and the food particles and old oil will go rancid.

Can I use a cast iron on Glass-ceramics cooktops? Or are cast irons better user for gas stoves?

Can I use a cast iron on Glass-ceramics cooktops? Or are cast irons better user for gas stoves?

I don't think this is advisable, unfortunately. Gas or older style induction only.

I use mine on a glass top stove and it works fine. Just probably takes longer for the pan to heat up.

Like anything on a glass top stove just be careful not to slide it around to scrape up the glass.

I have a natural firm bristled brush (this exact one https://www.redecker.de/en/home-and-yard/kitchen-brushes/pot-brush-322612) that works really good for scrubbing off stubborn food. Any small pieces that don't come off with that I use nature's scrubber. My fingernails. Works great.

I got a cast iron skillet to use in my camper van setup. I was seasoning it in my house on a glass ceramic cooktop and it shattered out of nowhere. Sounded like a gunshot, scared the shit out of me, thankfully no one was hurt.

We have another cast iron pan that we use on the same cooktop all the time though so idk what the deal is.

Diner scene reminded me of the opening scene of “reservoir dogs”.  Even though Mikey didn’t have any lines in this film I though he captured his character “Benjamin” well.  Not sure how stacked Sundance lineup is this year, but best directorial debut is not out of the question, bravo.

and the art. did I mention the art?

[BartHarleyJarvis]

I made oklahoma style smash burger on the cast iron last night, honestly top 5 best burger I've had in my life. Wildly exceeded my expectations. Mostly followed the J. Kenji Lopez Alt method from youtube.

[Roisto]

I have a carbon steel wok that I messed up seasoning because I wasn't used to my new stove. What's the best way to strip the seasoning so that I can start afresh?

You were seasoning it *on* the cooktop? Not inside the oven?

I've always heard it's fine to use on glass top, just don't drop it hard or drag it around on the surface

Ironically this thread made me dig out and re-season my Lodge pan so thanks for that, everyone. It's going pretty good though I tried to make eggs last night and they stuck to the pan, from what I've gathered I likely haven't cooked enough in it yet even though I seasoned properly. I also think I need to switch to an oil with a higher smoke point for a big possibly... I seasoned with Canola but have just been using Olive Oil to cook with since that's all I have and what I'd normally use, seen avocado oil is highly recommended

Fine question, but at least we got this thread rolling again.
Back to the awful production linked above… I see Mikey Alfred’s back on that underage weed smoking tip again: so edgy.

I've started cooking with avocado oil due to the high smoke point, and I have to say that a tangential benefit is that my pans almost always clean up easier. Got a nice, cooked-on layer of fatty polymers and the eggs just slide right off.

[whaaaaat]

Best method I've found for cleaning a cast iron is to use steam - heat the cast iron up on the stove and then crank your hot water, put pan under water and brush with a long handled (! important so you don't burn yourself !) scrubber. Also, I use mine almost every day on a glass top stove with no issues.

any recommendations for my first cast iron?

[Lou Strux]

any recommendations for my first cast iron?

Thrift stores are awesome for these. Garage sales too.
I’ve got a small Wagner, a mid size “contemporary” Lodge & a large vintage Lodge.
They all work real nice.
I clean with soap & all, but the seasoning is so baked in, it doesn’t phase ‘em.
Daily cookers, each.
If you’re not on board already, you gotta get one.

yes, maybe that was just due to my ignorance. I was told you could just cook bacon fat on a lower heat, wipe once it started smoking a bit, then repeat.

either way, i still have no idea how it fucking exploded.
