Aren't you supposed to put the pan upside down to get the sides evenly also? One more thing I've had this pan over a year and after cooking with vinegar, tomato sauces etc the seasoning became uneven. I have even used vinegar to strip but its at the point where its just too many layers so I'm just seasoning it as is which I know is unacceptable especially the money I paid for this pan 🤦♂️

I was interested in how you put the pan in the oven. I had always heard that you flip the pan over so that the bottom is up. That way if you accidentally put too much oil on the pan, it doesn't pool in the bottom of the pan and get gummy. Yes, I have seasoned several cast iron pots and pans. I always flip mine over. I learned from my very first pan that got gummy....

Frying food like filling the pan with lots and lots of oil and heating it up to a high temperature for like 10 or 20 minutes is really the best way to get coating that's evenly dark. However, it's wasteful if you just use lots of oil for the sake of seasoning. I only found out about this because I deep fried food when I got my new cookware and it turned out evenly seasoned after I cleaned it.
@phill35832 жыл бұрын
The oil will not polymerize in that process. This oil needs to be heated and kept above its smoking point to achieve this baked on coating. My 20 year old turkey fryer wipes clean with no seasoning surface coating after every use. A very thin coat baked on in layers at a high temperature is the only way.

I saw that too. That is when the discoloration occurred. To avoid that, you can put the pan in the hot oven for a few minutes to dry, then season when the pan is cool enough to handle. The pan will still discolor after the seasoning process during stovetop use and will even out and blacken over time. It's a natural unavoidable and unharmful reaction. It's just heat induced rainbow on a steel surface.
