What difference does it make

>>17985164
the human body was not meant to ingest rust

>>17985171
You should tell than to our impressionable mothers. They fall for so many stupid trending gimmicks. Women...

These Pans Are Still 1000x Healthier Than Non-Stick Coated Pans.

rust is delicious and nutritious

Me and my sister are in our 30s.
She became a gradeschool teacher, married, has kids, and is filled with "I KNOW EVERYTHING".
I trained at restaurants during college, got a mechanical engineering bachelors, worked at Boeing, traveled the world, and done whole loads of random shit, single, no children... so I'm the "idiot older brother".
She gifted me a set of gotham crap pans. I used them rarely, most of my cast iron dates from the 1890's to 1920's finding them in thrift stores.
Had a family party at my house. She and the other women forced me out of my own kitchen.
The pan result after everything was done, they managed to scratch the destroy the gotham pans, and looked like they tried to destroy my cast iron, found them in the dishwasher.
Even though they didn't rust I had to give them a hard brushing and sear in a fresh coating. Gotham pans I tossed away.
She's over a few months later, and among other shit flinging she argued with me about my "new" cast iron pans.
Nope, those are the same ones you ladies tried ruining last time.
But she also gives me shit for driving a '66 Impala, not being anti-gun, and having better control over her kids than she does (it does take a few minutes to tame them when she comes over, obviously a terrible mother, doesn't help that brother-in-law is mentally disabled living on Social Security Disability his entire life).
Choices people.
For cookware I choose the pans of the Gods, instead of disposables.

The only two times I've ever had my cast iron pan rust was when my wife put it in the dishwasher, and then a year later when she burned our kitchen down shallow frying in it and then forgot about it changing a nappy.

Both times I just re seasoned it and was good to go.

>>17985518
I don't care about this earth and have enough money, so I'll keep buying disposable commodity. Will it kill me? Maybe. But 1 year longer in this clown world sounds like too much suffering anyway.

>>17985155
oil doesn't rust.

>>17985647
It oxidizes which is how rust forms, check mate SCIENCE get your vax!

>>17985155
Gotta keep it greased, anon.

>>17985155
>This pan's super rusty, jesus christ.
>I'll give you $3 for it.

>>17985155

>>17985155
Bros, why does my seasoning always come off when cooking? I have tried every type of grease and oil, have tried one layer to five layers, and my pans will look beautiful and feel super slick, but the seasoning either comes off during cooking, or immediately when washed

>>17985656
TWU, gotta keep the grease for the flavour.

>>17985656
The grease cooks the rust

>>17985724
reseason nigger

>>17985171
>ingesting something literally inert is bad for u
ok lol.

>>17985171
Yea, rust is bad. Better swallow some cancerous burnt teflon fumes instead. GJ retard

>>17985155
Means you failed to take care of it properly. A good season is intended to prevent rusting. Get it repaired and try again fucktard.

I dont even dry mine after washing it with soap and it doesnt rust.

>>17985518

>>17985518
You forgot to put the recipe at the end

>>17985155
You have to be a complete retard to let your cast iron rust. I don't even bother to oil mine after cleaning it and it's never seen a spec of rust after 4 years.

>>17985171
Rust will pass through your body without doing any harm. Teflon on the other hand...

>>17985800
I've stripped it and reseasoned three or for times. It's the same resukt each time. The pans turn out beautiful and are dark black, but the seasoning comes off again when cooking with them, or the first time I wash them with water

>>17985171
ummmm sources?

>>17985724
What are you cooking? Are you making sauces? Are you using acidic ingredients?

>ingesting rust
oh wow have fun with that tetanus poisoning

>>17986799
Top lmao.

>>17985724
What material? Cast iron, carbon steel, wrought iron or something else?
From personal experience I would say that getting seasoning to stick reliably is vastly easier on cast iron than carbon steel.
Anyways, here's what I do: Wash pan when it is new with soap and try to get any factory coatings off. Optionally you can use steel wool. Put pan into oven at 250˚C or as high as your oven will go. Let it heat up a bit.
Add oil (I use flaxseed) with a towel or paper towel thinly but evenly all over the pan, inside and outside. Wipe with paper towel until it almost looks dry again. Put in oven for 45 mins-1h at the 250C. One layer is done, now repeat for how often you want new layers. Bonus points for letting the pan cool down after each layer before applying the next layer. If you have carbon steel consider using another oil, because linseed is harder from personal experience, but in exchange it chips easier too.
That gives me a great base for my pans. From there you can build more seasoning through use.

Trace amounts of it are actually vital to human health. If you are ever diagnosed as iron-deficient, cooking with cast iron will actually be recommended as beneficial to you.

>have cast iron pan for 15 years
>never have an issue
>perfect seasoning
>finish cooking,rinse it out and put in warm oven to dry
>wife sets oven to self clean mode without checking inside
>wake up the next day to a season free pan

fucking idiot, you're not supposed to eat metal, our biology is literally incompatible with metal

>>17987507
You had no problem denying biology when you started claiming you're a woman.

>>17985171
I looked this up awhile ago because I'm paranoid about everything.
I don't have the studies saved but they're easy to find
eating rust is ok
breathing it in is not

>>17987504
That's how you clean old seasoning off. You just need to re-season it.

>>17987676
no shit, fucking genius over here. point is i had it for 15 years and never once had to re season.

>>17987735
Yeah, i mean, why would you? If you aren't a retard the seasoning will only get better with time. I'm sorry for your wife.

>>17987735
t. perpetual stew maker

>>17987676
seasoning just 1 time a month over 15 years would be 180 layers.
>just re season it bro

>>17987765
nigga what are you talking about

>>17987735
Do you ever cook tomatoes in it?

>>17985155
mine has never rusted, did you not season your pan and evaporate the water after washing it?

The secret is to not wash your cast iron
