Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What Are You Using To Season Your Cast Iron?

I dunno. It was quite rusted and overgrown by vegetation. It had been there a couple years.

Got home from camping today. Picked up a bottle of the Grape seed oil and decided to give it a try. Satisfied so far.

The lid is not correct for the pot, but I bought these at a garage sale for 25 bucks and cleaned these up

Grape seed oil or crisco.

That's a chicken fryer.

Lard, oven at 450 for 2 hours.

Never use soap on it.

Yes, it’s a hammered piece. I located the correct lid later. It’s what is known as a 4 in 1??

The lid is a skillet as well. Cool piece.

Vaginal secretions.

IURC, grape seed oil needs to be stored in the refrigerator?

Little fuzzy. Store tightly capped in a cool, dark place. This product may become cloudy at 45°F.

Pic must be 45*. It’s a little cloudy!

LOL

I think you guys spend more time "seasoning" and caring for your pans than you do cooking with them.

Yep. Kingston caint cook a dog turd in his cast iron.

I use bacon grease or lard. Like the man in the video says, just use the damn things.

A couple or more, according to the markings it would have been cast around 1909.

Is the handle still intact?

Yep.

OK, I gotta ask.

Are the pictures deceiving or are you cooking on the bottom of that griddle?

That's pretty cool, especially if you found the original high domed porcelain lined, easy clean lid it came with.
The markings on the inside of the lid are hidden being covered with the black porcelain lining.

Even though it just dates back to the 1940s there's not so many cast iron pieces out there with their oridginal accompanying hinged lid.  Complete it's worth quite a bit, you done good @ $25.
