You must be British. It's 'burned'. Just like learned, turned, and spoiled. Since you're British, you also use 'learnt', 'turnt', and 'spoilt'. At least you're consistent. I sometimes see Americans using 'burnt' but never 'learnt'. They are retards. Burned.
Burned.

seasoning is a meme
ranking in terms of stick:
deliberately seasoned<bare metal<natural patina
if you just start with a bare metal pan and let it build a patina over time, its a lot better than baking oil onto the pan.

Hit it with your steel wool and dish soap (yes dish soap) dry it off and then reseason with crisco shortening in a hot as balls oven.

Shortening is the best seasoner by a moonshot

[Anonymous No.19201152]

>>19199601
nobody ever says that you fucking retard.
You wash it daily with hot water and a soft-bristled brush, then scrub it with oil, rinse that out, then wipe it dry, heat it up until it smokes and coat it in a high temp neutral oil, turn off the burner, and leave it to come down to room temp with the fan on.

If you're burning stuff on it badly enough that doesn't clean it, you need to buff the entire surface and season it again, which takes like no time with modern power tools and a wire brush.

This. I don't do anything special with mine besides wipe it out and rinse/dry after I'm done, and it works perfectly. It's a shitty Lodge too. Anytime I've tried to make it better by cleaning it more and and seasoning it I've ended up with worse results.

Ghee smokes at 450F, so use it to cure exposed cast iron. Don't place cold food on a hot iron pan. Use a stiff nylon brush together with baking soda and water to scrub the pan promptly after use, don't let the pan sit and grow cold. No soap ever. You should never have a problem provided you cook with fat.

I wash my pan every day with soap and the seasoning is fine. Polymerized fats are basically glass, soap doesn't do shit to it. Just make sure to grease it well.

I used to think this way, but corpos love putting wheat derived products in basically anything. When my GF was diagnosed with celiac, we started reading lables more. Wheat is in everything. At one point her diet was 100% gluten free and she was still getting skin rashes. Then we found our shampoo had wheat in it.

Nobody with a minimum of school time uses iron any more. It's poisonous and reacts with water. Aka everything you put in it.

As if that weren't bad enough: the Maillard reaction (browning of food) causes cancer. These "seasoned" cast iron pans are a hotbed for carcinogens. You risk losing your healthcare for these kinds of practices. In countries that have healthcare of course.

That's been going on for decades. Like the bag of pure sugar that's "fat free", or the jar of Crisco that's "low carb." Don't even ask why there's such a thing as "kosher" bottled water unless you want to get put on a watchlist.

No matter how many times I'd season the damn thing, scrub it with a brush, and oil it, my food still sticks. So I'd need a grill glove and piping hot water to wash it after just cooking a couple eggs for breakfast. I'm open to try something different but for now, cast iron can suck my nuts. Stainless steel + beef tallow for life.
