Which is a bit time consuming and takes a little practice, but is a pretty great feature for getting a pan back into working condition in situations where a steel or aluminum pan might be ruined.

I had a few imperfections on a lodge that were catching the spatula, but too big to just knock off with said spatula. After a light 5 minute sanding with an orbital sander, a wash, and a couple hours for the new seasoning to bake on it was back in business.

Now it is my favorite cast iron pan!

(I cook most things on ceramic non-stick though)

You can season aluminum and I think steel (although I don't see the benefit of steel)

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Aluminum sheet pans for baking and roasting are awesome. They take a seasoning really well and when fully seasoned to a dark brown/black they become amazing tools for browning and roasting foods!

Really? I've never tried but now I'm interested

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yes, look up Helen Rennie on YouTube. She does a bunch of tests and explains how to do it.

I could be wrong, but I think carbon steel skillets and woks are supposed to be treated the same way as cast iron.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Carbon steel, yes. Stainless steel, no (you can season that one too, but the coating will not stick to the pan well due to the steel's smoother surface).

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Steel can work really well with seasoning, but not stainless steel. I have a steel griddle top and a steel pizza pan that are well seasoned now to being mostly non-stick.

I don’t know what kind of steel you’d call them but probably not carbon steel nor stainless steel
