What type of company would season cast iron cookware?
by admin on Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 | 3 Comments
I got my sister a set of cast iron cookware for her birthday. I just found out that they have to be "seasoned" before they can be cooked with. I read up on the seasoning process, but it seems like an all-day project. Currently I am too busy for something like that. What type of company would I search for on yahoo/google maps?

Your sister can do them even if she has a dozen youngsters in the house and a piano class and two jobs to keep up with,.
No problem at all. It’s easy.
Get them washed in hot water and detergent, very well rinsed, and well dried in the oven…not with a cloth.
Paint them all over with good quality cooking oil using a pastry brush or similar and bake them in a moderate oven for an hour while your’e doing something else.
The oil has to blacken and harden and that makes the non-stick surface for cooking with. It won’t boil off if you bake it hard enough, you can do stews and casseroles in them.
After they’re seasoned , don’t put a cloth on them.
Quick brush out with warm water and a little detergent, a good rinse out and dry them on the hob straight away or if the oven is still hot just put them in there..
They’ll last for a coouple of years before they need doing again if you’re careful.
Brilliant they are. I never use anything else now.
Fried eggs slide out and beautifullly evenly done , omelettes are fab, egg scrambled in the pan takes a few seconds when the pan is hot, just keep turrning them round and over with a fork for a few seonds and they cook right through evenly to beautiful fluffy scrambled egg and fall out of the pan with nothing left behind,,,, paella never sticks, pot roasting joints is dead easy,…absolute Godsend they are.
Takes around twenty minutes of your time to season a full set of them.
Easy job.
As for not wetting them when you wash them…of course you can.
How are you going to cook in them if you don’t get them wet?
But you have to dry them straight away and not leave them to dry by themselves on the drainer.
Get them warm again, straight back on the hob or in the oven and they’ll dry quickly.
They last for ages that way without rusting and will give you good service..
It is not an all day process. Simply heat each pan and coat with oil wiping out the extra. done. Never wash these pans, simply wipe clean.
Grandma’s right…and keep in mind, the more you use them, the darker they become…but they last forever! Can make great steaks in them because of the even heat cooking and heavy bottom.
I would give her the gift as is and explain the process (but no doubt it comes with instructions). She can do it….easy peasy
