Curing Cast Iron

Each time I add a layer of oil after bringing the cast Iron slowly up to temp which is Approx 350 to 360 degrees. You are working each layer at that hot temperature. Thin layers and immediately wipe it off and get it right into the oven again. When I say wipe it off, I mean like buff each coating off. The object is micro layers. As many as you want. I go three. Then oven off let it cool down slowly. Each time you use it wipe it clean and I mean clean. Use water if you can so as to loosen the sticky bits. Slowly heat your pan or what you are using on a burner just long enough to dry it completely. 

   There is no excuse to have a sticky oily gooey cooking vessel whatsoever. None, zilch, no way. Same thing for rust. No excuse. Your end goal is a thin carbon layer.

I love it when a guy nails it! Congrats brotha!!

      No not at all Daryk. Just start cooking! The More you use it the better it's going to be. 

Unless my wife is around she will kill any seasoning.

That woman washes with Soap and or leaves them soaking. 

Then have to hear her complaining about Cast Iron sticking.

           She gets a lump of coal for Christmas! 😁Soaking no but after a good carbon seasoning and I mean a GOOD seasoning soap and water will not hurt if you think you insist. A follow up by wiping immediately and drying on a low burner on the stovetop or fire up the oven to dry. We opt for the stovetop. Just don't forget it on the stove. Cast iron is not stick free but it is stick resistant and EZ clean up IF it has that nice thin carbon seasoning. Good luck David I feel for you Bro.

Bought her a Front Loading Washer.  Supposed to be here tomorrow. 

She can't load it like her Top Load, no matter how much you push you can only get so much in.
