I've watched so many videos about using cast iron that couldn't even guess the number. Most will refer to someone else's opinion, which is why we get so many different options. For example, how to season. Nearly everyone will tell you to bring your oils to their smoke point. You are only the second that I've heard that recommends not to take it to the smoke point. The other was from an actual caet iron manufacturer who has also done the research like yourself that breaks it down to what is going on the molecular level. This was a long video, but I picked up some really good nuggets of information that I hadn't from the countless other videos I've watched on cast ironing. THANK YOU for all the research and sharing what you found.
Thank you for watching!!! Yes, it is a very long video but there was so much information to share. I wanted to document the journey to my recommendations not just say "here it is".
You are correct. That channel is one of my sources listed at the end of the video. th-cam.com/video/By5_xL-BPwY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ABZdj2OE7ybUujbj This video is very good discussion about not hitting the smoke point. BTW - Cook Culture is another awesome channel that contains information about both cast iron and carbon steel cookware. I highly recommend the channel.
