What is Cast Iron Seasoning? Unveiling the Mystery

What is cast iron seasoning? In this video, Mr. Cast Iron describes the meaning of how to season cast iron. Seasoning is nothing more than a thin layer of oil baked onto your cast iron skillet. That's all it is, plain and simple. Ideally, the best way or method of seasoning your brand new cast iron is with multiple layers of oil baked into your cast iron. One of the easiest ways is by cooking fatty cuts of meat like bacon or hamburgers. The rendered fat helps season the skillet every time you cook in it. Do you need to season cast iron? Yes and no. New cast iron comes preseasoned from the factory with a thin coat of oil baked onto the cast iron. This is done to prevent it from rusting while in transit and sitting on retailers' shelves. How often do you season cast iron? 2-3 additional layers of seasoning are enough because each time you cook in the cast iron, you add layers of seasoning to the pan. https://linktr.ee/mrcastiron 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*** Morningfame (1ST MONTH FREE) invitation code https://morningfa.me/invite/MrCastIron *** "As an Amazon Associate, this channel earns and benefits from qualifying purchases."
