Yeah, let’s all take kitchen advice from a nimrod that calls a spatula a “turner”.

I bought a new cast iron skillet last weekend. I came here to learn how to care for it , and ended uo watching alot of your videos. Congrats on your engagement. I`ve used the pan 2 times so far and it seem to be doing great ! Thanks for the advise.if you don`t have time to clean it properly I guess its okay to let it sit with the grease in it overnight? The cooking surface is smoothing (loosing the little bumps). I`ll try some eggs this weekend. Thanks, I subed!

A lot of people …
A lot of people just wipe-out the pan, but you can’t just let unused food sit in there. Eternal Stew is actually kept at temperature, so the pot never cools or sits idle for long. I have a 4″ egg skillet (that nobody but me is allowed to use : ) – Since it is a single-function skillet, I just wipe it after use and allow it to build that dark, rich patina that can only come from the no-water-ever wiping method. Thanks for the comment! : )

I thought one of the main advantages is not having to clean out the cast iron… every new dish just adds to the flavor. Like an eternal stew.

You can control …
You can control heat on self-clean mode better than hot coals – They can become too hot and crack the pan. You can use an outdoor grille (propane or charcoal) as well. I use self-clean mode. It will ash the pan to gray, but not totally remove the rust, but at least expose all the oxidization. After that, lots of kosher salt and stiff nylon bristle brush, hot water – scrub an entire box of coarse salt into it over hot sink running water. As soon as you’re done, heat on stovetop to dry & reseason.

Hello Friend! I …
Hello Friend! I have to tell you that I have really learned so much from you!
I need your opinion on something. I have heard that to remove deeply pitted rust from cast iron, that you can either bury it in hot coals in a fire pit or put it in the oven and turn the self cleaning cycle on and the rust turns to powder as well as stripping off any old seasoning so you can start again. Do you have thoughts on this? I have monster rusty pitted pan awaiting your orders, lol.
