Do You Have to Cook with the Same Oil You Seasoned It With? 🔥

Seasoning cast iron is something I get asked about all the time. Recently, someone on my YouTube channel asked, "If you season your cast iron skillet with one type of oil, do you have to stick to that oil for cooking or re-seasoning?" The answer is no! You can cook with olive oil, avocado oil, bacon grease, or anything you like. For example, I use bacon grease all the time in my number 8 three-notch Lodge skillet. I picked it up at a flea market, stripped it, and seasoned it with Crisco. Some folks think Crisco is a terrible choice—like it’s poisonous or something—but let me tell you, it’s not. It works great for seasoning cast iron and keeps my skillet in top shape. At Mr. Cast Iron, I’ve seasoned cast iron skillets using all kinds of oils, like lard, avocado oil, and olive oil. It doesn’t matter what you use to season cast iron or cook with—what matters is proper cast iron care and maintenance. Whether you’re restoring a vintage piece or just re-seasoning your daily skillet, I’ve got the tips you need. If you’re wondering about how to clean and season cast iron, seasoning a cast iron skillet, or the best oil for cast iron seasoning, you’re in the right place.
