Flaxseed oil is the best one to use. Do a search for 'Chemistry of Cast Iron Seasoning: A Science-Based How-To'. The coating you develop is so good that you can even run it through the dish washer and it'll come out okay (I wouldn't over do it though).

One thing no one seems to mention on cast iron seasoning tutorials: open all the windows in your kitchen, blast the fan, and consider turning off your smoke detectors. You're gonna be making a lot of smoke because oil polymerizes as it burns. Obviously turning off your smoke detectors is not a safe thing to do, so just be sure to monitor your oven as the pan is baking.

The whet in Whetstone means “to sharpen”. I would also suggest once you’re on the finest part of the stone to alternate sides with every stroke to ensure even sharpening. Some whetstones use sharpening oils instead of water. I would just follow the instructions that came with it. Most whetstones also need cleaning to remove the metal shavings that will rust and clog the pores of the stone. You can usually wash in soapy water and scrub with a wire brush, but follow the included instructions if they say something else. Also, Unless your blades are in absolute abysmal shape, you probably shouldn’t use the coarse side of the pull through sharpener, or any sharpener for that matter, as it will remove way too much material from the blade and you’ll have to replace your knives too often.

Babish’s informercial voice was both perfect and hilarious!

When my cast iron was passed down to me, I got a lesson in care along with it. I was always taught to never use soap, just water and steel wool (any pathogens should be killed when heating after cleaning). Post scrub, it goes on the burner and gets the thinnest layer possible of a solid fat (I use lard, shortening works well too). It holds up better over time and if you don't ever have to worry about it going rancid between uses like you do with vegetable oil. Once it just starts to smoke, kill the heat and let it cool. Every couple of months I'll do an all-over season in the oven, but I've found that if I season the bottom after every use it starts to smoke way too much on the burners.

They are whet stones, not wet stones... Whet meaning to sharpen. Care should be taken to actually read the notes for the specific stone you pick up, as while most are best used or can at least tolerate being completely soaked in water, not all whet stones will withstand such treatment for long. Some of your natural stones will delaminate if soaked entirely. Buy sensibly priced ones for home use. Spend the $30-50 on a decent quality set with solid reviews. They will cut better, last longer, and come with more useful extras like an actual storage box compared to stuff closer to ten bucks, while whet stones over fifty or sixty are very unlikely to do anything more for you besides lighten your wallet.

I've honestly had rather unimpressive results with reasonably priced diamond whetstones. One proved prone to having the bedding material glaze over the cutting medium after moderate use, and resulted in a very uneven cutting action. The other lower priced ones I've used didn't show noticeable advantage over the regular natural and synthetic whetstones I've owned at slightly cheaper price points. They are worth it if you're looking at the upper price range for knife production work, but for the needs of your average home kitchen? Then those are probably classified as overkill, and I doubt most users would notice enough of a difference to be worth the price jump to the higher quality whetstones.

About 9 months too late, but the reason why heavy duty easy off works is due to it being a lye based foaming cleanser, that stuff will eat through most things, but doesn't harm the cast iron. Diluted pure lye drain cleaner works even more effectively if you submerge it. The reseasoning is why you *have* to thoroughly rinse every trace of that stuff out of there, and soap in general, because it will taste like soap or include that flavor until it is completely stripped down and reseasoned from the bottom up. Electrolysis (not sure I spelt it right) requires a car battery/charger and some metal plates, but will rip everything off as well. You can look online for instructions for this. As an added benefit there isn't any harsh chemicals in the process. Think the miscommunication was the other reply thinking that they were using easyoff in the reseasoning process, which would absolutely warrant that reaction

@PossiblyAnIrishGuy

Raw steel needs more seasoning layers, not just one or 2. Go for a maximum of about 4, maybe 5 if it's dimpling. As high a smoke point of oil you can get, the best is avocado oil (make sure it actually says "high smoke point" or something similar on the bottle) but if you're feeling fancy you can get flaxseed but at the point you're just showing off your dollarydoos. Bake it in the oven UPSIDE DOWN on the highest heat your oven has for about an hour, and be ready for smoke. But that's how you season a cast iron, and be careful using soap! Most dish soap should be okay but if your soap is very strong it'll rip the seasoning right off. If you've bits cooked on to the pan, pour some coarse but fine salt into the pan and scrub that into the stuck on bits to use it as an abrasive. Happy cooking!

Cast iron and steel are different things. They're both made of iron, but they have different amounts of carbon and other elements making them different alloys. Cast iron isn't as strong as steel, but it can be more easily melted and poured into a cast. So when you scrape through your cast iron seasoning, you're just seeing bare cast iron.

Suggestion: when seasoning your cast iron pan, it's better if you use many ultra thin layers of oil. It totally takes more time, but you want to coat your pan in oil and wipe the entire thing down pretty much until your towel or rag isn't picking up much more oil. Set in the oven at 450 for 1-2 hours and allow to completely cool inside the oven. You have to do multiple coats this way, which totally sucks, but in my experience, it makes for a heartier and more effective seasoning.

Yes and no. 6000 is finer than 1000 grit, but most people use a recognized standard for grits. 200-400 being coarse, 500-800 medium, 900-1100 fine 1200-1500 extra fine. (all general of course). Calling the 1000 grit "fine" is not incorrect. But maybe he just misspoke and actually meant the 6000 is more fine.

Braden Mabry in kitchen knives, usually 220-800 is coarse, 800-2000 is medium, and 3000-8000 is fine. Source: Korin Knives

@@GODLOVERBAM 1200-1500 extra fine? what is this, woodworking?

Babish, could we see just how scarred the surface of your counter is? I'm curious to see just have many cuts and scratches it has accumulated over time from you chopping stuff directly on it.

I tried reseasoning my cast iron pan today using this video for guidance. It's worth noting that you should only use, like, a teaspoon of oil, because I definitely rubbed it down with too much oil the first time. What I didn't know was that this would create a sticky film. Like, fly-paper sticky. I had to scrub it all off and do it again using quite a bit less oil. Worked like a charm. The moral of the story is, "a generous coating of oil" means: be less generous than you might think. PS - I also sharpened one of my knives using your whetstone method. I had to give it much more than 10 passes on the coarser grit side, since this was long overdue, but it worked great!

thank you! i've been looking for a solid guide to knife sharpening and honing.

I wouldn't use the quick knife sharpener since it messes up your knife. If your serious about sharpening your knife only use whetstones.

3:21 Sooo... Let me tell you the story of how Andrew helped me find my ideal ASMR trigger sounds.

Love that sharpening sound!

I don’t even cook but I can’t stop watching any video he puts out. Is it his voice? My love for food? Help.

why am i watching pot and pan restoration videos all of a sudden

You should really make benson chicken wing chilli from the chilli cook off episode in regular show

As a knife maker and sharpener, I will just mention that your technique needs a little refining, but this was by far one of the better basic sharpening demonstrations I have seen! And thank you for using the correct terminology! Love the videos!

I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO PUT THIS OUT. After you mentioned how you take care of your butcher block in the Eggscelent challenge I was hoping you'd do a kitchen care video! Thank you for the tips! I'm just starting to get really seriously into cooking and I love watching these vids for tips and tricks!!!

This is the real vsauce2

the best egg on the internet

Man I can't wait for the livestream next week when we get to watch Babish clean everything again

Awesome video and exactly what i wanted to know, thank you!

4:27 That tomato looks just sad.

Added to favorites! Thanks Babish!

This is what I needed to see. Thank you andrew

Love your vids Babby but olive oil has a really low smoking point and isn’t the best for cast iron seasoning. Veggie oil would have been a better oil that’s still common in home kitchens.

My pan has Bluetooth, how do I wash that?

ManeLastful it didnt work. Now I need to by a new pan. :(

One tip I have learned is that a 12 degree angle on my Henckel's chef's knife works exceedingly well for me. Aside from a bread knife, it is the only knife I use. It stays sharp (with honing before each use) enough to cut ripe tomatoes into translucent slices, but strong enough to cut the backbones out of chickens--very smooth cutting that had once been a chore is now something that puts a smile on my face.

Great tips babish!! Appreciate you going up and beyond

Make cookies like squidwards mom used to make

salting the knife made me spit water out of my nose

If you heat the piece up to about 200 degrees first then put the oil on it and make sure you try and remove all the oil by wiping the piece off very well and then place back in the oven at 400 degrees. Upside of course. That keeps what little oil remains on the surface from pooling and making tiny little dots that look like drywall splatter. Cook for one hour turn the oven off and let cool. Do this about six times and you have a perfect finish that is as smooth as glass. And I use Brass Wool to scrub the stuff off. Works as well as steel wool and is softer than cast iron, therefore it does not scratch the iron. I have been cooking with, cleaning and restoring cast iron cookware for almost 60 years. Every single piece of cast iron I own and use has a glass smooth surface and nothing I have ever put in them has stuck to the item. I learned my methods from my father and mother and them from their mother and father. Your methods work and I am not criticizing them. I just notice a couple of things you were doing that I thought you might try my method on your next cast iron piece. Nice video by the way. You have a good presentation and are interesting to listen to. Thank you.

This is super helpful! I’m buying some knife maintenance stuff asap!
