Still the definitive video on restoring and seasoning cast iron skillets. I've been using these techniques for years and I get superb results on every pan. While it appears that every person who owns a cast iron pan and a smartphone has made a video on this topic, yours, like a fine vintage Griswold or Wagner skillet stands the test of time.

Dear Mr Jeffery Rogers, I will be 66 Sept 5, and I used your method yesterday, last night and today. With no sleep, I couldn't wait to get all 25 pieces (21 are skillets, 2 large pots with lids (which I call fish frying pots), and 2 cornbread pans. I am so impressed with the results, I just couldn't quit until all were done. All pieces turned out gorgeous, and I am able to see the manufacturer Griswold, Wagner, etc., although some are unmarked I still know these are all old except 2 which say made in USA. Until now, I only used one skillet to cook cornbread, but now I honestly believe I will use more skillets to cook in. Thank you for this video, and also for the one you did on how you store your cast iron. Amazing that I now have no build up on the bottom of my skillits. Hats off to you for the knowledge you have shared with me and so many others. Thanks again, so very much. Regards to you and your family, Sandy

Sandy Aldridge : Five years has past - I just now read your post . U said U were 66 years old than - now about 71 . I wish U happiness and health dear Sandy . I hope your still enjoying your cast iron pans and making your cornbread . GOD BLESS U .

It's so encouraging to see someone do this work in his kitchen, which is what I have, rather than in some complex backyard setup.

I had to come back and tell you how you got me into this thing that keeps me hanging in the kitchen now a lot longer than before. For some reason, I bought a ‘De Buyer’ mineral b crepe pan before I discovered your videos. I had previously followed their instructions to season it. After watching your videos a few times, I went back, stripped all the seasoning I had put into it (not a lot as it was still kind of new), and started again. I’ve been finding every excuse under the sun to use it as often as possible since then. It’s only been 2-3 days, and the patina on that baby is amazing! So smooth, so even, and you’re right, the Lodge scraper does wonders after every use to make sure there’s no bumpy residue left over. This is so unusually satisfying. I’m sorry for the long story but thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You are Super!

I've worked in commercial kitchens over the years and so I knew to keep soap and water away from cast iron but never have seen the reconditioning of skillets to perfection like you have done. Thanks alot. It's great watching a man who has a passion for what he does.

9 years later and I am loving this. Well done. We all have our methods and "secrets" but you hit all the main points and those skillets look AMAZING. Great job.

I am a novice cook that has started dabbling in cast iron. I have watched HOURS of various restoration videos and all of them have left me with questions and lacking the confidence to get the restoration right the FIRST time. One issue with other videos is they do one pan at a time. Well, my pan might not have the same issues their pan has so I have to search for a video that has a pan in a similar condition as mine. Whether it is rust, crud, rough surface, crusty back etc etc. That is a long way to go fo me to say I absolutely LOVE your video tutorial. You solved a huge problem by doing multiple pans in various stages of condition. Your dialogue is clear, concise and you didn’t screw it up by blasting Iron Man (I dig the song :) or some electronic disco music as background noise. You made me confident that I could pick up a pan at a flea market today, swing by Home Depot to pick up a few items and start banging this out with no issues at all. THANK YOU!

Thanks. I found an old Wagner at my wife's grandparents' house after they died. I used this video and one of your other videos to strip and re-season it, and now it's my favorite pan. It felt good to refresh a piece of cookware that was probably used for years and is a piece of family history. Thank you!

Finally! Someone took the trouble of walking us through the whole process of restoring cast iron cookwares in a clear, sensible fashion! What a great video :). Thank you for posting this, sir. Liked and subbed!

Great presentation. If you are seriously concerned about health however, you will not use Crisco or any other vegetable oil! Lard, suet, avocado oil, or coconut oil is fine. This is probably not a 'big deal' since the seasoning oil is not, for the most part, going to end up contaminating what you are cooking in the skillet. Avocado oil has the highest smoke point of all of the cooking oils. None of the oils I mentioned have fats that are 'unnatural' to the the body.

I see no need to put the skillet on a warm burner after it has been seasoned good. That just encourages stickiness that you have to turn around and get off again. I have to disagree about using dishwashers liquid also. I can't stand the smell of old oil or fish. If someone has cooked fish in a pan of mine, you better believe that pan us going to get washed good with hot running water and some dishwashing liquid. Lol. The pan will still be warm from the hot running water ,so all that needs to be done is to dry the skillet very well.After drying with rag,let set out for a little to make sure it us completely dry before storing. One thing NY kids know I am particular about is NOT putting my cast iron skillets to soak in the sink! There is never a need for that to be done around here. I only use my cast iron for. Making cornbread, and if never sticks. If you measure your shortening and other ingredients ,there should be no over fill that would run over and cause "crud" to start to form. I have used my skillet and cirnstick pans for way over 55 years and have never had to "burn them off."

I just got my first cast iron skillet a few weeks ago and I am hooked! I find it fascinating that you can take a 100+ year old skillet and after some cleaning and maintenance, you have made it good enough to use for another 100 years. So awesome. Thank you also for the maintenance and cleaning tips!

I've watched lots of videos now on the subject of cast iron cookware and its care. This one is still The Best. Thanks for uploading this, although 6 years ago!

Thank you for your video. I watched it a few months ago and then watched it again tonight. Tonight I took 6 skillets that belonged to my grand mother and then my mother and then passed on to me. They had not been used in probably 20 years and were in really bad shape. I followed your video and now they're once again beautiful. My wife has found a place to display them next to hers. She said tomorrow I will start using them on a daily basis. Shame on me for letting them sit idle for so many years. She told m told cast irons skillets are not only history but they're also art work.

By far the most comprehensive and professional video on the topic of properly restoring, seasoning and maintaining cast iron. I probably watched 6-8 videos related videos--again, far and away Mr. Rogers has produced the best one! I feel confident that I can restore my tired cast iron to the beauty it deserves! Thank you for sharing!!!

Love the info, and you have a wonderful voice to boot! I've been cleaning and seasoning my pieces based on what I've heard over the years, but your results are so much nicer. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent, thank you for the tutorial. I've cleaned and seasoned my rummage sale CI. A Griswold, Wagner, and an older Lodge. The crisco method works perfectly. I've tried olive oil before, but I wasn't happy with the results. Now I'm going to tackle my newer Lodge. Thanks again.

This is, far and away, the best explanation and demonstration of the restoration and maintenance of cast iron cookware on the internet. No pretense; no nonsense. Thank you!

What a fantastic video! It's the most complete and well done job I've seen on this subject. It was thorough and well paced and what I especially enjoyed the overall style of the narration. While anyone who jumps on KZread to share knowledge is much appreciated, I have seldom seen one that was so professionally done and in such a warm and friendly manner. No awkward stops and starts, stutters...just smooth as can be. Thank you so much Jeffrey! I'm a fan already and quickly subscribed. Now that they've gone through the self-clean oven routine, I've got to go and grab all my flea market cast iron out of the oven and get to work.

Thank you so much for posting this information! I had no idea how to care for cast iron before watching your posts. I am now hooked! I went from 4 cast iron pieces that I inherited (slightly rusted and gunky) and kept for sentimental reasons to 20 pieces of perfectly seasoned pieces using your method! I also got a Lodge Sportsman's Grill for Mother's Day! Thanks again!

Just did my skillet last night. I should have watched this first. Going to follow the instructions that was given on this VIDEO. Found it very interesting and educational. Thank you for taking the time to explain it in such a way that made it simple and easy.

This was an excellent video...great step-by-step detail. Impressed with his ability to explain this procedure with easy to follow instructions, what not to do and how to clean your skillet once it is seasoned. And I especially love his easy going, fluid use of language.

Just used your method to re-do the seasoning on a skillet and frying pan and they turned out absolutely gorgeous, thank you so much for the great video!

Love cast iron! I have about 5 skillets of various sizes, a couple of round, and square griddles, a two burner rectangular griddle, and 3 or 4 corn bread pans with the corn cob type reservoirs. Really the best cookware that money can buy. Thanks for the how too.

The only thing I disagree with is using Crisco for the seasoning. I went through three seasoning cycles using Crisco and didn't get the sheen I was looking for. Switching to flaxseed oil gave me the results I wanted. Otherwise, I followed these instructions to the letter and love the results. One note: I found that the initial heating of the pan at 200 degrees can be completed in 15 minutes. Wasn't sure how long he heated the pan at that stage of the process. I especially like seeing what the pan looks like at each stage. It was a little disconcerting when I first took the pan out of the oven after the self-cleaning cycle. But I trusted what he showed me and it worked exactly as he said it would.

Tends to agree; as a chemist I know crisco oil is saturated oil, flaxseed oil is a highly unsaturated oil, it is the high degree of unsaturation gives strong cross linking to give the cure ( net formation, like baked in), so I find flaxseed works better. However, I don’t know flaxseed can give as long lasting coating at high temperature cooking as Crisco ! Only time and repeated uses can tell if it is as durable !

I used this man's seasoning method for my grandparents pans and it is the best. From rust in a garage to what is now my go to pan. Thank you sir!

Most clear & concise info on cleaning, restoring, & seasoning I’ve seen; thank you!

Amazing demo ! Thank you for sharing this. One thing I wanted to know was how do you store them after? Up on a wall? or stacking with something in between? Thank again really nice job !

This was invaluable. Thank you! I've done a lot of research online and ended up mostly confused in the end. The only difficult part for me would be grinding with the steel brush attachment. Not sure what I would do instead but the rest is certainly doable. Thanks again.

Thank you so much. Beautifully explained. You have some perfect cast iron cookware. My dad maintained his skillets the same way you do.

Fabulous video - thank you for sharing these techniques. I restored and seasoned 3 skillets and a Lodge griddle using your method and every piece turned out beautiful. I was frustrated with the skillets and the griddle but couldn’t figure out how to clean them up and restore the seasoning correctly until now! They now look and cook beautifully now!

Great video, Thanks! I was given a set of rusty cast iron pans. I used this method to clean them. They came out beautiful. I had always wanted to try cast iron for cooking, now they are the only frying pans I use. I love being able to use metal spatulas, forks, knives, etc...without worrying about damaging the pan. Clean up is very easy too. A little water and a few swipes with the green scouring pad (no soap!). I always dry them well, rub the insides with a dab of Crisco and put them on a burner set on low for 5 minutes.

Dont forget to wear safety glasses with that wire wheel. I use different type and sizes of wire wheels all the time. The thing they have in common is they all sling pieces of wire at some point. That wire can be traveling 55 mph. It will penetrate your eye. You dont have to fear the wire wheel, just respect the safety of your eyes. Great video. Got myself a little collection of cast iron. Thanks for your time and effort making this video.👍

Now those are some gorgeus skillets. Never knew they could look that good. Thank you for the great information. By the way, if you have concrete steps in front or out back of your home, I have found that is a good place to work on wire brushing skillets. You can lay the skillet on a step and let the handle rest against the next step to keep it from spinning as you cup wire brush it.

Hands down this is the BEST cast iron skillet restoration video. Jeffrey you know cast iron and I love your videos!!!!

After I used an orbital sander, I started at 220 grit to 600 grit. That pan is so smooth after the seasoning, eggs slide off. I bought that pan at a garage sale for $4.00, so I experimented.

Thank you so much for taking the time to demonstrate and explain your method. I've been wrestling with a Lodge that I purchased at a garage sale several months ago, and for the life of me, cannot get seasoned in a way that satisfies me. Never had a problem with other skillets, but this one...Anyhoo, I think what's causing the problem may be solved by your interim step of wiping the skillet surface after it's been been baking for about 15 minutes. This skillet was coming out looking sort of pockmarked, except it wasn't really any flaw in the metal, but in the way the oil was settling in against the metal. It's in the oven now, and I just wiped it, so will let you know how it turns out. Thanks again.

Great job, I remember my Mom and Grandmother going through this same process. My Mom would wipe crisco on all the skillets and put them in the oven, even if she hadn't used them. Just to add to the richness of the seasoning.

I've seen a lot of re-seasoning videos because everyone's got their own opinions on what works best. You sir, are the best when it comes to proper seasoning.

I have a cast iron skillet I received for a wedding gift 30 years yes ago. Stopped using it when I got a glass top stove and it’s been rusting in my basement for years. So glad to see your video. I can’t wait to clean it up and, if for nothing else, make corn bread in the oven. Thank you.

I’ve watched too many videos to restore my late Grandfather’s skillets he had stored under a shed. This one was hands down the dissertation of restoration. Thank you!
