Wok and Roll! Cast Iron Seasoning.

[eddieh70301]

It's what I've always used and have never had a problem. I suppose if someone only used their cast iron once a year or so, it would be something to take into consideration. I will admit though that I only use it for the first seasoning and cooking, if I am putting my cast iron away and want to give it a light oil coating, I will usually shoot it with some pam and then rub it down with a paper towel.

I have been told by my grandparents not to use bacon grease. i have always used pam or something along those lines. I have to admit most of the cast iron items i buy are already seasoned so I give them a light coating of oil and wipe it out with a paper towel.
I believe it also says this on the Lodge web site.
just my .02.

When i buy used cast iron I will always strip it and season. You don't know what some people will use on these pans.

Just bought a 26" plow disc that should be here next week. It will need the hole welded up and then seasoned so this thread could not have come at a better time! Thanks!!!

Grandparents are one of the best resources of advice ever. If mine had told me that, I would totally go with it. :becky:

Good point! Unless you know where it is coming from, you really don't have any idea what they used on it. Heck they could have used axel grease. uke: I've seen a couple old guys use them for motor oil. :shock:
