    I will purchase some grape seed oil like @Kanobi13 suggested. Looks like the best way to season.

    Thanks @Sunnier for the link!

    We can’t wait until you use the pan. Looking great.

    Just did bacon in them! I got super worried, pan was a little too hot, bacon it it and stuck! But i did a light scrape after a minute with plastic spatula, gave it all a good stir and they have no more sticking! I think it’s looking good

    Yes yes! I lowered it and did a good stir. I think i used to let my pans get too hot before dumping eggs in them. At least my first experiment after a long seasoning process has zero stuck on bacon chips!

    Get yourself a good stainless steel spatula, something with a nice straight edge. Plastic spatulas are for non-stick pans.

    everything im reading says wood/silicone only for cast iron. Stainless will scrape seasoning off the bottom? I used to use stainless until i read this

    Agreed. The seasoning isn’t that delicate. I only use a carbon steel spatula, and have no issues. I also clean my pans with soap every time I use them, and chain mail when stuff gets stuck on. No issues.

    With everything, sometimes one wins and other times we have fails.

    This is a story of fail.

    What's the thoughts on stripping cast iron using the self clean setting of the oven? I have several pieces that need to be completely stripped and reseasoned.

    Sounds like a good way to stank up your house. Never done it myself, I use a homemade electrolysis tank. Pretty simple to setup, and very effective.

    Lard, Crisco, or bacon grease are preferable to any kind of oil for seasoning or re-seasoning. Oil can become rancid. I have a complete set of skillets I keep in the oven when not in use, and yes, they are the original and ultimate non-stick, if taken care of properly.

    Home Depot online (of all places) for 240.00 with lid. Most other places after shipping and tax, over 300.00.

    These pans are HEAVY!
