Yeah, I’m glad there’s a bunch of options! I know I have some oddly specific preferences and I’m sure others do too, so hopefully there’s something that’ll mostly acomodate everyone.
Awesome. I wish we could save posts into different self made categories, would be awesome to have a ‘lemmy cook this’ folder.
, By the way, I’ve always heard that you shouldn’t put tomato in a cast iron pan, as the acidity can damage the seasoning. What is your experience with this?
Eh, it’s fine to cook with. Just don’t let it sit in there and oil your pan when you’re done!
Fun fact: Soap is absolutely the way to clean your cast iron. The old advice of “soap will ruin your seasoning” is based on old soaps which includes lye, a strong base. Modern dish soaps are very gentle and are perfect for cast iron! Note that this doesn’t include dishwasher detergents, those are very aggressive and will ruin your seasoning.
It'll be fine. The best way to preserve seasoning on a CI skillet is to just keep using it. Seasoning comes from oil that turns into a polymer from heat; that's what helps keep food from sticking.
People get really elaborate with their seasoning rituals, but it's not necessary.
I first heard Daniel Johnston in a commercial, and thought “what is this shit, is it trying to be bad on purpose?” But then I listened to all of his albums and realized he is really good and I really like him.
