The Shocking Truth Behind My Crisco Controversy!
Oct 10, 2025
It’s been a long while since you’ve seen a long-form video from Mr. Cast Iron — almost 10 months since I stirred up a storm over using Crisco to season cast iron. Some folks loved me for it… and some just about wanted to crucify me! 😂 But I’ve seen the light, and I’m here to tell you the truth.
I no longer use or recommend Crisco for seasoning cast iron skillets — it’s a seed oil, made in a factory, not from real food. These days, I stick to the old-school fats: lard, bacon grease, and tallow. They’re saturated fats, the same ones we were told were bad — but they’re not.
In this video, I’ll share why I changed my mind, what I’ve learned about how bad Crisco really is, and how this ties into my carnivore and keto diet lifestyle. Whether you’re into the keto diet, the carnivore diet, or just good old-fashioned cast iron cooking, you’ll see why I now only season with real fats like bacon grease, lard, and tallow.
If you love cast iron cookware, seasoning cast iron, or cast iron cleaning, you’re in the right place. Whether it’s seasoning cast iron skillets, restoring old cast iron, or cooking with cast iron, this one’s straight from the heart.
👉 Stick around — Mr. Cast Iron is back, and we’re getting back to the basics of real food, real fat, and real cast iron cooking.
