    Absolutely the best way to quickly clean up any seasoned pan. I have two of them, one goes camping, one at home.

    Great video. I have a Field #10. I love it. The best way I found to get the hard bits off of my cast iron is as soon as I’m done cooking put a little hot water in the skillet. Then I scape the bottom with a wood spatula or flat bottom wooden spoon. The hard bits come right off.

    You can use a fine mesh chainmail on most surfaces without scratching. I have a fine mesh chainmail that has nearly replaced using a sponge.

    Should I use seasoning on my new stainless steel clad on aluminum core pan like my cast iron pans

  • @Orr_s
    @Orr_s ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Should you not take a really hot Carbon steel pan and introduce water to it until it cools to a warmer temp, due to possible warping or shocking the metal too much? Same question with stainless steel i guess too…cast iron is much thicker and wont warp so thats understandable. Also im assuming no chainmail for a stainless pan. Do you recommend pre seasoning a new stainless pan or no need? Thanks!

    • @Cook-Culture
      @Cook-Culture  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, I put fairly warm iron/carbon steel under running water., but I use thick carbon. Chain Mail is fine in stainless steel, and yes, you can season stainless if you'd like but it's not always required.

    my question to Field would be also: how are the small rings welded? Has the weld the same thickness aus the rings or is the weld thicker than the rings? because if it´s the latter, the chainmails contactpoints are often the welds themselves instead of the actual rings, which leads to annoying, uneven scratches in the pans surface instead of regular abrasion pattern. But so far I could not find a smallringed chainmail with good welds.

    So i try and do my cleanup right away before eating, and putting hot water in my HOT CI pan and then use my chainmail. How do you hold onto it without burning your fingers... that water in the pan cooks my fingers, kinda wish the chainmail was 3x bigger to lift my fingers up higher when i scrunch it, and then scrub. The last several times i have done this pan cleans up effortlessly, but my fingers are cooking in the water.
    Any ideas, as I have a high tolerance of pain.

      I take my chainmail a d drop it into the very hop skillet with very hot water, then use the little scrub brush to work the chainmail around. It is just a small plastic handled bristle brush. This keeps your fingers out of hot water and also lets you scrub the chain mail,hard to get all the fond off.

    I love my chainmail...but your fingers can only handle so much hot water in hot pan. I always waited until the pan was warm for fear of cracking. I'll have to give that steam cleaning a try.

    Soak the pan if you got a lot of crap on it and then it come right off with either a stainless scrubber or chainmail. Its is not rocket science.
