Cast Iron Cooldown Time

[Anonymous No.12448947]

If its new then just wipe it out with a paper towel and salt and clean with boiling water, avoid cooking anything too sticky.
If you have good seasoning then dish soap is fine, just avoid something strong like dishwasher soap or abrasives like steel wool.

[Anonymous No.12449027]

>>12448947
You idiot. Did you use oil/butter/bracon grease? I hope so otherwise its gonna be a pain to salvage. Put dish soap and some water in a bowl. Drain any shit in the pan. Either use steel wool or a sponge with salt. Rub some of the soap water in the pan with a sponge. Then use your steel wool or sponge with salt. Scrub good, the outside and handle too. Rinse that out. Pat dry, EVERY LAST DROP YOU CAN. Then put some oil, either canola/rapeseed, olive, or flax seed. Rub it all over, pan, outside handle. WIPE IT DRY, as much as you can. Then put it in the oven for 500 degrees for 25 minutes to an hour depending on pan size.

Cool, thanks. I just did a flour-dredged chicken breast with some seasoning in vegetable oil, it's not a mess. I can't tell if the dark spot left over is an oil mark or needs to be removed though. I'll do the salt rub to see if that handles it.

It will develop cracks. Cast metal is not as uniform as forged. It will always have which will propagate defects if mistreated.

But you shouldn't do that to forged metal either, as it will warp. Cast iron is a lot more resistant to this because it's so thick.

So, I have sanded and reseasoned a chinkshit cast iron pan, Ozark Trail 8", from Walmart, based on instructions from this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljSQrSoSYAE
I used flaxseed oil to season it, but after seasoning the surface is a little oleophobic, which is not a behavior I have seen in my Lodge, which has not been altered in any way since 2016, except for seasoning after cooking. There is very little sticking from cooking store-bought bacon, eggs, and potatoes and they taste fine when cooked on the Ozark Trail skillet in question. Did I mess up the seasoning at some point or is this normal behavior for a properly seasoned skillet? If this, is not normal, how can I correct it?

[Anonymous No.12453378]

It happens in mainly 2 circumstances
1. Pans still dirty
2. You're previous season is still on there and has sealed the pan.

The only health risk I have identified linked to cast iron pans is iron toxicity, but I donate blood on a regular basis. Are you sure you are not talking about charred meat or something?
>>12453378
I have taken extra care to make sure that metal shavings where cleaned out of the pan until a paper towel ran clean when drying it off before seasoning. I have given it a salt scrub just now to make sure it is clean, but will check it again when I cook on it again.

[Anonymous No.12453573]

he probably means the free radicals released from burning oil. As long as you wipe it dry after cooking and allow it to warm up properly it should be fine.

I think the supplemental iron thing is a meme. How can it leech iron if it's sealed by polymerized fat? Try scrubbing raw cast iron with a towel, you'll see the iron coming off on the towel. Now try with a seasoned cast iron. Nothing.

If it’s properly seasoned it will barely stick at all and what does stick is easily removed with hot water and a stiff brush. Also, much like stainless steel, you have to get it hot and ONLY THEN add the oil and ONLY THEN add the food. Otherwise it will stick.

Clean it hot, dumbass. If there's too much grease pour it off into some foil or a can, wipe it with some paper towel, get it smoking hot again, and run your sink at its hottest. Put pan under the water, rub with a nylon brush to knock off any bits the steam didn't get, rinse thoroughly, dry off on the stove, rub with a bit of oil once dry, and you can go jerk off or whatever.
