The BEST OIL FOR CAST IRON SEASONING Is NOT Flaxseed Oil!
The best oil for cast iron seasoning is not what you've been told. Most likely, you've been told that a specific type of oil is the best for cast iron seasoning. Well, folks, I'm going to tell you that if you want a skillet to look like this, then stick around we're going to show you what some of the best oils are for cast iron seasoning. And so, but my last oil is the one that I wanted to tell you about, and it's not the best oil for cast iron seasoning. It's certainly not what you've been told is the best, that's for sure. Now, this oil is flaxseed oil. It's way too expensive first of all. It has a very low smoke point of only like 225 degrees. Some people jokingly call it "flake seed oil" because if you get it too hot, your skillet will begin to flake. And so I know I will get a lot of comments for that. Leave me a comment down there if you've used flaxseed oil or if you recommend flaxseed oil. I do not. As a matter of fact, it's not the best oil for cast iron seasoning by far. We went through several here, seven or eight other oil types that are so much better to season your cast iron skillet. And I've been cooking in them for years, and I tell you what, if you want a skillet to look like this, then you need to leave that flaxseed alone.
