I sprang/sprung for some really good pans for chrymas - carbon steel. They need to be seasoned so I did that yesterday.

I seasoned them with high-quality high smoke point oil. But stiff still sticks to them. I’m not giving up on them, but I’m pretty disappointed initially.

I’ll keep on reseasoning them and see how they go.

You can’t wash them, DEF no dishwasher. We’ll see.

Lard. Lots and lots of lard when you cook...

This has me on edge….

Wow. These puns are close. Might be splitting hairs to see which one is better...

Seasoning is more a "lather-rinse-repeat" than a "one-and-done" type of process.

Here's an article that may help??
(Apologies if you already know everything in the article)

Serious Eats: How to Season Carbon Steel Pans

Thanks. This was a good article. I think I put too much grape seed oil when I initially seasoned it. Looks like I can just keep on going and keep seasoning it.

I’ve always hated Penn state, plus they have the most boringest helmets.

So I’ll root for Boise state.

Wishing you and all of you a wonderful new year.

So you're saying I have to be nice, and hide my knives?

Naaaaaa not necessary

Never! Always be yoursel...
Well, I was going to say "always be yourself", but that way appears to lead to Dissociative identity disorder (DID)

Lillianna is a little better... she said she was so.so tired.

Went to dentist today with their permission and he gave her an antibiotic just in case (she will take if she feels necessary

She is continuing to rest and wants us to know she misses us and will be back with us soon

To be fair, those sponges work so well, I should have guessed there'd be a catch.

Don’t have any carbon pans but have tons of Cast Iron…in fact Santa dropped off a new one a few days ago. For the wife of course

I read that article and it looks like both are seasoned in the same way. Grapeseed is good, Lard as mentioned, and avocado is what I’ve been using. According to Cowboy Kent Rollins, when breaking in a new pan, fry up onions and potatoes. Whatever enzymes it has in those things really helps. Re-season every time until it starts to break in. Just cook every day with it also. Labor of love but man it pays off! Let me know how that Carbon pan works out. I’ve been thinking about pulling the trigger…
