Re: Seasoning a cast iron pan

My advise -
don't put the pan away leave it out on the cooktop/stove you'll be more
apt
to use it.

Not sure about this one, Dimitri! I keep my cast iron skillets in the
drawer by the stove and use them enarly every day! Might make a
difference for you where the pan is kept, but for me, not a bit.

Until one gets in the habit of using these wonderful tools - out of sight out of

I gather you are very young, Dimitri, so I want to be gentle with you.
As you mature, if you choose to do so, you're going to have a
realization. We are not all the same as you! There are others around
you, and they are not Dimitri's!
I try to remember when I give adivce, online or in person, that not
everyone is the same as me. And explain that in my postings. Some
people never figure this out.

Try again....

You might also infer from the original post - the person has very little
experience with cast iron or there would not have been the necessity for the
question.

Oh yes and I think I started cooking with a # 6 Griswold about 1961.....

I would take it you didn't catch Dimitri on tv. I think he knows about
different people.

So since they don't have experience cooking, they can't remember the
pan in the cupboard? People who haven't been cooking long have worse
memories that those of us who have? This leap is too esoteric for me.
Please explain in more detail.

So by being on tv, people no longer have egocentric leanings? Wow, what
tv have you been watching? Ever hear of Bobby Flay? And no, I haven't
seen Dimitri on tv, I don't watch much. But my experience of "people on
tv" has been just the opposite of yours. Many of the people on tv have
huge egos, and don't realize that not everyone is like them. It's
called "narcissism". Thank you for clarifying why Dimitri doesn't know
that some of us are not like him. You just helped me understand why he
makes this assumption!

Sure

You miss the point - the original answer "The best seasoning comes from use. My
advise -
don't put the pan away leave it out on the cooktop/stove you'll be more apt to
use it."

Did you miss that point?

Are you too stupid or ignorant to understand the sentence above?

Let me put it another way - "the more you use a cast iron pan the better the
non-stick properties become, and improper cleaning can cause a myriad of
problems.

I'll try to explain so even you can understand, Dimitri. I'm not
arguing with the fact that proper use of a cast iron pan reseasons it
and minimizes maintenance. What I disagree with you is your assumption
that others might use the pan more often if it is left out between
uses. I repeat, so you can understand, I disagree not with the idea
that proper use reseasons the pan, but with the idea that LEAVING THE
PAN OUT WILL MAKE SOMEONE USE IT MORE. Some of us don't need the pan
sitting on the stove to remember to use it.
Actually, was just pulling your tail a bit to see if you'd how you'd
react, since the statement seemed to me as though you assumed everyone
was like you, possibly a little narcississtic. Now that I know that
you've "been on tv", I understand better. I realize you have a problem
seeing what's been written, so I won't bother any more.
Have a nice day!

The word 'might' in that sentence surely negates any chance of it being an
'assumption'?!?

Well after careful consideration and some deep thought I have come to the
conclusion that there is a distinct possibility there could be some validity to
your point of view ergo you are certainly more that welcome to put you cast iron
pan(s) wherever you please. I might suggest a biologically impossible place
just may be apropos.

*Sigh* You kids today. ;-)

Seriously though, I thought the idea leaving the pan out where it
can be seen was great. Sure, it doesn't apply to everyone, but in
re-reading the thread, I can't see where you claimed that it did.

To be honest, I thought =everybody= left their cast iron skillets out
on the stove. I never really considered why, but my grandmother and my
mom both did, and I do too. I guess I got the habit from them. They
typically get used several times a day, so I suppose it's just the
convenience of having them at the ready without having to look though
the cabinet.

In my grandmothers houses I knew the exact reason. I think there is a direct
relationship to the amount of RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) and the amount of time
the pan is left out. To this day I can still see the crippled fingers grasping
the spatula to turn the "cutlette" <sp> Damn were they good.
