  1. Do chefs only use cast iron because they can yake such a beaten over the years rather then using big name pans you see in myer or david jones?

  2. Aint no fucking way he just left it like that without washing it πŸ’€ my mom would beat me with a slipper if i dont scrub it with soap

  3. I was given a cast iron wok that has a little rust in it how would I clean that? I heard something about using kosher salt and baking it in the oven.

  4. My mother and grandma cooked almost exclusively in cast iron and this videp is spot on. Soap is totally fine and recommended on Lodge's official website. Dawn dish soap is not going to strip your seasoning, this is a myth from days when lye was commonly found in household dish soaps.

    The best way to season is with a neutral high smoke point oil such as vegetable. Crisco is also great. Apply a thin layer to the cast iron both inside and out with a paper towel and then heat in an oven at very high temp for an hour. Let it cool in the oven and repeat the process for as many times as you feel is necessary. The more layers of seasoning the better.

  5. Andy I bought my first cast iron skillet, splashed out on Le Creuset. Didnt know about seasoning it (dumb, I know). Six months in it's stuffed, everything sticks and burns to the base. How do fix this?! Thanks in advance

  6. The soap won’t wreck your seasoning but that gimmick chain mail definitely will

  7. My cast iron gets used so much – it's living space is on the stove!

  8. What kind of oil do you recommend that isn’t super expensive? I usually use vegetable oil but idk if that’s good πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

  9. Could you do another kitchen tips with Andy on your preferred method of seasoning a cast iron pan?

    Your cookbook is a staple in my household and your biryani recipe is currently in my fridge lol. Thanks to you and Babe (and the rest of your team) for making and sharing great food with us!

  10. I just don't get "seasoning" skillets. Sorry but having my food being cooked in burnt gunk oil and food residue (i.e. "seasoning") doesn't really sound like a great solution for a non-stick surface to me.
    This is not a jab at andy at all btw just my thoughts on cast iron seasoning.
