Cast Iron Seasoning - Is the smoke point what creates the seasoning?

In today's video, Mr. Cast Iron answers the question of the day from a viewer about cast iron seasoning and the smoke point of oil. He asks these questions: "I am wondering if a lower or higher smoke point is better. Is the oil hitting the smoke point what creates the seasoning layer?" Cleaning and how to take care of it is the subject we will address. Lodge says you don't have to add any to a new pan or skillet because they are pre-seasoned at the factory. So, you don't necessarily have to season them when you buy one. They say use it, and I tend to agree. All that is needed is washing and using it. Cooking in them does more good for cast iron seasoning than anything else. ***Visit Our Website At https://www.MrCastIron.com Grab OUR FREE Beginner's Guide To Cast Iron! https://pages.mrcastiron.com/castironbeginnerguide ***Visit Our Cast Iron Store On Amazon https://www.amazon.com/shop/mr.castiron. ***To Help Support Our Channel Through Donations https://paypal.me/greenakersplace ***SUGGESTED YOUTUBE VIDEO AND CHANNEL TOOLS*** ***Design Like A Pro With Canva Graphics and Thumbnail Creator partner.canva.com/MrCastIron Morningfame (1ST MONTH FREE) invitation code https://morningfa.me/invite/MrCastIron Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/ntjgaf/ *** "As an Amazon Associate, this channel earns and benefits from qualifying purchases."
