Thank you for your video. I can't stand when people have a bunch of unnecessary talking and drag out the video. I appreciate you being direct and to the point and not wasting peoples time
Simple, direct and to the point. Best kind of demonstration!
Short, sweet, to the point. This was what I was looking for. None of the jokes and distracting innuendos when I'm trying to figure out how to use this thing. Thanks
i couldnt have said it better myself
I agree but the only thing I'm noticing is that he's doing it at a lower temperature for less time than what the other videos are doing. The other ones are making you do it at 420° for a whole hour
This is probably the best seasoning video i've seen. Simple and straight to the point. Thank you
without a doubt, the BEST explanation of seasoning a cast iron pan on youtube. Thank you!!! This is the way YT tutorials should be, to the point, precise. great job. ok , i will stop now.
By far easiest video for seasoning the skillet! Thank you
Straight to the point and information without no waffle In between. Good video 👍
Bloody good tutorial, mate. Short, practical, descriptive and explanatory enough that even this Aussie in Vietnam can understand!
Just bought my first iron skillet and you were the second video I watched very informational thank you
I was starting to get stressed out before I could even use my first ever bought cast iron pan, watching the other guides on how to season a new one. This video fixed that. Tomorrow I’ll get right down to seasoning it. Thank you!
Wow, after watching several other guides across years I finally found yours - a simply perfect one, thank you very much
Thanks! Just bought my 1st cast iron and a bit nervous on how to season it. This video explain it very clear.
Thanks for the video !! no BS, no waste of time, and straight to the point instructions!!
I looked for the shortest video to get straight to the point and you nailed it. Nice going!
Thank you for this tutorial. I bought one last year. Washed it and started to cook with it. EVERYTHING STUCK. so it went to the back of the cupboard. Now I know what I did wrong. Can't wait to use it now..
Quick, and straight forward! Thank you!
Thank you short, sweet, and to the point 10/10 for this video.
Great video boss, I’m doing this as we speak with your instruction 😊
Won a cast iron in white elephant, super excited for it but want to take care of it. I’ve watched a few videos and this is definitely the best one I’ve seen information wise and not confusing at all
Excellent video with just the right amount of info. It was easy to follow and not confusing. Just got a 6 inch to try cast iron. I think I’m gonna love it.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
actually impressive how nice and direct this is
Quick and informative! That's how I like it!
Best video for first seasoning of skillet on YT. Short, clear and easy.
I hope that your CZcams chanel will take off.
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate it.
Straight to the point! I like it! And it works!
Went through mad videos thank you for something simple to understand
That is a very interesting accent, watching from 🇺🇸. Thanks for instructions
Thanks so much for the helps. Newbie iron skillet owner here. 🫠
Thankyou so much for the info. ❤❤❤
Thanks for that. Simple and easy
Thank you. Love your simple video. It's so helpful. Will try it today.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks
Simple, easy to understand, thanks
I’ve been using cast iron for years and years and outside of it getting heavy for me it’s still my favorite .
Nice and concise! Cheers. Liked 👍 !
Great Cast Iron Skillet seasoning tutorial mate👍
Thank you
Thank you for this video
Great video very helpful
beneficial video -easy and and to the point - thank you
Nice and easy .Thank you .
Thanks for the video👍
I used to go camping and fishing with an Air Force major when I lived in Colorado in the 70s. He seasoned his new cast iron on a roaring fire and the new pan filled to the rim with lard or Crisco and just let it catch fire and burn till it was gone. Kinda extreme, but whatever floats your boat and I will say his cast iron was well seasoned.
Thanks mate!
Great video
TYVM so much for this video. I have been doing it all wrong.
Right on!
Thanks.💛
Hey I like the way you explain how to season my cast iron skillet. Question I don’t have oven can I do this process on the stove top.
you should turn your skillet upside down in the stove when heating it. Other than that every thing you said was correct and on point and you didn't over talk it. Was straight to the point unlike some other videos out here. Good job.
Hi! I have cast iron le creuset cook safe with a painted outside. I assume I just oil the inside? Also, can I just use vegetable oil? And is 220 Fahrenheit or centigrade? What would I set it on in a fan oven, please? Thank you so much xx
Cookware, not cook safe! Merry Christmas!
Thank you
Outstanding informative and helpful video.
By-the-way, do you know whether I can store it in my oven when I'm not using either of them?
Can I put it, let's say, in an Amazon box and store it in a locker for months, as I won't be using it often?
Cheers.
Bought a new skillet for my cross country camping trip, this was the best tutorial I have seen, good on you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Any ideas on where you have purchased your cast iron skillet? It looks really good
No im not talking about seasoning with salt n pepper 🤣🤣🤣
Salt n paper
Clear instructions
Thank you for these tips, I just ordered a cast iron skillet and now I know what to do
Thank you 😊
cheers mate
thank you
Nice info. I've been looking at a few cast iron options recently too. They don't come cheap though.
Instead of wrapping a pork shoulder in paper/foil I'm going to try place it in a Dutch oven when finishing it on the smoker... hopefully the thermal mass of the iron will retain more heat and save me some brickettes.
Hey Jared, this skillet was $40 from the warehouse and will be fine for the BBQ. I was thinking the same thing about the Dutch oven so have put it on my xmas list. Let me know how you get on.
Wow that's as cheap as I've seen them in second hand shops. Cheers will have a look
@@jared8038 here in Europe most of them go for like 15-40$ range new i just bought mine for around 20$
They don’t come cheap? Cast iron is very cheap compared to stainless and carbon steel and arguably superior in many ways.
I did the seasoning in the oven but after cooking it still gets rusty can you suggest what should I do
Great illustration and instructions. Right to the point and you kept it short. My question is after using the skillet (in my case grill pan), do I need to re-season the pan again a few months down the road. Or seasoning it is a one time process.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I give mine a wipe with a bit of oil after every use and do a quick seasoning when it loses its non-stick.
So after you use it for the first time, how do you clean it and then do you need to re-seal it
I actually just bought a new one, and can definitely use this information.
Thanks Resa, wasn't that good timing 😄
Short and straight to the point, good explanations! I love it. 1 question thought, 250 celcius or Fahrenheit?
Celsius- Fahrenheit is like 450 degrees to season cast iron. This guy has an accent I’m guessing Aussie/Europe so they do C
I’m gonna have to redo mine. I didn’t know you meant 220c. I was like wow that’s all I have to do and then it went up smoke the first time I used it
Is the 220 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Hello! is it 220 Celsius please? 😊
Thanks so much for sharing! I enjoyed your video but l have a question. I just purchased 2 sets of skillets. After l season and use them do l need to oil them only or oil them and put them back in the oven since they are brand new?
I wipe a very small amount of oil around the pan after every use and then once they start sticking again I'll do another full season in the oven. Hopefully that makes sense.
Hi! The video is sweet and short! very helpful. The music is nice but I think it'd be better if you tune it down while talking. :)
Thank you for a straight forward no-nonsense video. My cast iron skillets and Dutch oven arrived today so I’m going to season them. I just wanted to ask is it 220 Celsius? I’m in the UK
Thank you
Thanks Dorothy, yeah 220C (I'm from NZ). Guessing you've already season the new gear but I hope it went OK.
220f or 220c?
By far the best how-to season a cast iron skillet. These other dickheads piss around too much 🤙🏾 cheers brother
Wow thanks man! What a compliment
Whoa, I may have had beers at the time 🤦🏾♂️
Thanks for the informative video! I was looking for a short video that tells me how season it for the first time.
I don't plan on using my cast iron skillet that much, but only occasionally.
How do you think is best to keep it properly, until the next use?
I read that after baking with it, I need to clean it and let it dry. Then apply a thin layer of oil on it, and simply store it like that, until next time I want to use it?
Also, is the seasoning process actually needed (where you oil it and bake it in the oven 3-4 times)? Or only once the skillet starts to look dull after a while?
Hey I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I always give the pan a quick wipe with oil after if given it a wash otherwise it rusts up a bit. Don't wash with soap though. I always season new iron as it will always have a better finish than store bought pans.
All the best.
220 ° f? Or Celsius
I just got a cast iron skillet and it is a lot rougher looking and feeling than yours seems, but i am going to try this method anyway and hope it makes it nonstick.. i saw someone else sanding theirs down… hoping thats not necessary for me
Hey Mandy, they usually do feel pretty rough when new but a coat or two of baked on oil will fill all that roughness and make it nice and smooth. It make take a few coats. I wouldn't sand it though if I were you.
@@BallerBBQ thanks for the reply. I just finished with the first coat and it’s already much better looking and feeling! Looks like a whole new pan already. Going to continue with the 2-3 more coats and I have no doubt it’ll be great
Oh awesome! Glad to hear it's working out for ya.
Would it be ok to season it with sunflower oil?
You'd need to check on the smoking point of the oil and make sure it's pretty high.
I assume this is 225 Celsius. Most videos say to do 450-500 fahrenheit
One thing, the "don't use soap" thing is a myth due to old soap having lye, which is no longer true of modern pans... though, unless if it's really dirty, you don't need to over wash your pan either... but once in a while cleaning with soap isn't a bad thing...
220 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius?
I'll always talk in celcius with a graphic showing the conversion.
@@BallerBBQ didn’t see any graphic
Canola is toxic 😮. Darn. Either way the steps are great thanks
I always hear that you should bake it for an hour
wirewheel go brrrrr
haha
220 Celsius or 220 Fahrenheit?
Hey, thanks for checking. It will always be degrees C on this channel.
I'm guessing 250 is actually 500F
I thought this was called curing?
Good information. The music is annoying.
Thanks for letting me know
500 degrees
I literally thought seasoning it meant to add seasoning 😂😂
I followed every step carefully and I even bought flaxseed oil. When I tried to fry an egg the day after it got really stuck. Non-stick my ass! Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
Hey, sorry to hear that. Sounds like maybe it needed a few more coats of oil baked into it. The goal is to keep baking layers into it until the rough surface of the pan is a smooth nonstick surface. Maybe give it a good wash with warm soapy water and try again.
@@BallerBBQ My pan has a bumpy surface on the bottom. I baked 4 layers on it and it didn't seem to make any difference compared to a non seasoned pan. Should I increase the temperature in the oven? I had on 220 C before.
The pan needs to be pretty hot, like around 240C. It should get a bit smoky.
@@BallerBBQ I thought so. Why did you say 220 C in the video if it actually needed a higher temerature? When I remove it from the oven after the first layer, should I add the second layer when it still really hot or should I wait a minute or two before adding a new layer?
All oils butn off at different temperatures. It doesn't make a lot of difference what temp it is when you apply the oil as long as you get it hot enough to bake on.
USA Yanks! Remember that when he says 220° it’s Celsius. So 450°F works. Big difference :-)
I hate that using paper towels leaves the little paper debris 😭
you cannot just use any kind of oil! you have to use a type with a high smoke point
You can! All my pans are done with olive oil or canola and they are all non-stick.
@@BallerBBQ sorry - to clarify, i think you must have to cook it at its smoke point, or for less time just to heat it up to the smoke point, at least while seasoning, but idk. i used olive oil and didn’t think to check it before the 30 minutes was up and the pan was smoking a lot. i thought maybe that was supposed to happen so i did it for another round but my partner told me it was giving them a headache because of how bad the smoke was. canola oil has a higher smoke point so it’s fine at 425/220° but i like olives so i was like why not 🫒🥲
Olive Oil is far better than Flaxseed Oil! Lovely job.
Thanks for the tip!
Olive oil is a poor choice to season your cast iron pan..
Olive oil is horrible to use on cast iron. Please do not use that. Burning point is way too low and will leave a weird taste on the pan
Step 1: Toss it in the trash.
Step 2: Forget about it.
You can't season a skillet in one day.
