/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I hear you don't use soap on cast iron, how can you clean something and get rid of residue and bacteria without soap?

I used to think they was just stories. Stories like kids tell to one another to give 'em the spooks late at night. But then I seen one with my own two eyes. They live among us, them what wash they cast iron.

Okay faggots, you got some explaining to do.

I bought a cast iron skillet because you assholes said it was awesome, and non-stick.

So what do I do when I get home? Make some fucking eggs in my new skillet.
And what happens? They stick to the fucking pan!

Explain yourselves, now.

What other types of frying pan cook meat as well as a cast iron pan?

Why do people love cast iron so much, when we have perfectly fine non-stick cookware?

Hey /ck/,

Yesterday I seasoned an old cast iron pan, and it looks pretty good except for one part: the bottom of the pan is very sticky and it scrapes vegetable oil off onto the burners of my stove, smoking a lot. The areas that are scraped off also leave the original, grey color of the original cast iron instead of the black color of the seasoned iron.

Here's the seasoning process I used:
>clean off rust with water + baking soda
>dry thoroughly
>apply vegetable oil liberally all over pan (I forgot to clean off excess oil, so there may have been too much)
>bake for 3 hours at 300F, right-side up
>leave in stove to cool

Any thoughts on how to fix it? I'm reseasoning just the bottom of the pan upside down now, with less vegetable oil and at 350F.

>christmas
>mom gives me a pan for cooking like pic related
>kind of a lame gift but whatever
>tells me not to clean it with soap/water or in the dishwasher (lol)
>take pan home with other gifts
>cook a burger in it
>works okay but sucks because I have to hold it with a rag or something
>wash it
>use it this morning to cook an egg

this pan is so shitty, everything sticks to it and it's a bitch to clean. anyone else ever get shitty /ck/-related gifts or shitty cooking advice?

Hey /ck/ I have recently finished reseasoning some old cast iron, and it cooks like a dream. What are some good things to prepare using my 10.5" an 8" skillets? I already made omelettes to test the non-stick finish and they passed with flying colors.

Got my fresh seasoned cast iron ready to go.

What should I make?

So I just bought a cast iron skillet and want to season it

I've herd of some people having bacon cooking marathons to get it seasoned really quick.

Bacon is not well received in my family as they see it as too fattening. I fucking love bacon, but to eat bacon in bulk would be me killing my heart.

Is it possible to cook just 2 packs of bacon and letting the grease simmer for a few hours and get the same result?
