Finally! I have a couple of thin gauge aluminum pans I use for camping and cookouts. Everything sticks to them and they are a misery cleaning. I'll try this. By the way, would this work for aluminum pots?
Tried to do a really thin one i have for hiking and made half the pan black😂, seems alright though. Question, what did you put in with the eggs at the end?
Just a word of caution to anyone tempted to polish the inside of the pan before doing this: don't go above 2000 grit abrasive. The polymerized oil coating sticks through mechanical adhesion, not chemical bonding, so if there is no texture to the surface of the pan then the coating will not stick as well. This is why most raw high carbon steel pans will have a satin or even matte finish when you buy them. It is to promote adhesion of the polymer coating.
Nice thick coat! Knowing the smoke-point of the oil used, wouldn't be easier to bake in the oven for 30 minutes? I season iron 2-3 times this way with a thin coat of shortening and get a good layer.
@@OldToolRestorations nah the oven is better and way more even. If you wipe the oil off with a dry cloth or paper towel as if its not supposed to be there the smoking wont be too bad
No, since the coating sticks, the coating does not come off unless you scrape it with a hard object such as wire. Moreover, it gets a little stronger as you cook. Special pans where seasoning is done in a professional kitchen are wiped clean.❤️
Folks, don't underestimate the overheating of the handle. A pan isn't specially built to take a huge amount of heat at its sides, so a cracking (because overheated) handle, dropping a pan full of boiling oil/content over your extremities isn't something you wanna experience. Guess from where I know this...
Not a pro tip at all. Nonstick coatings are made of pfas. There are around 14,000 variations of pfas and while a number of them have been banned, most are still being used.
Thanks for the instructive, calm, patient and full process video. I really appreciate the shared knowledge. ☀
Thanks for watching.❤

Yep.
Works on all metals.

Happy to hear that! ❤

It takes too much time and smokes alot.

Im curious, doesn't washing the pan with detergent remove the oil coating you just made?
