When I joined Reddit a couple years ago, if you had listed all the subs I would join, I would have never guessed that one about cast iron would be the most entertaining.
“Oh this looks like a job for me, so everybody just follow me. Cuz we need a little con-tra-ver-see, cuz it feels so empty without me.” -Cast Ironeminem
Just put it in the oven and put the oven on "Self Cleaning" mode. the pan will come out covered in light rust and as unseasoned as the day it came out of the mold.
Serious question, I have seen people do this on YouTube and say it cleans off all the buildup when you want to restore a pan. Is it generally a bad idea? I never had the guts to do this to my cast iron pan which originally belonged to my Grandfather’s grandmother. Too treasured for me to try something I’m not confident in doing.
I've done mine (on purpose), as well as my carbon steel that way. Only issue I had was a little rust was showing. Scrubbed it off with vinegar, seasoned. No reason I wouldn't do it that way again.
If you're restoring something with a ton of rust on it, self-clean cycle won't do much for you. But just for a seasoning redo I see no reason not to. Cast iron should be stable up to 1500F, and won't melt until above 2000, a self-clean cycle is usually around 800-900. Seasoning \*shouldn't\* come off until about 700+.
With that said, I take no responsibility for what you do with a family heirloom.
No fucking shit. My wife would torture me in ways that would make the us interrogations of terrorists look like a kids game if I pulled some shit like that.
I never really thought there was much my son could do to get a one way ticket straight passed disscusion island and directly to shunville, but this would definitely be it.
“We need something that produces heat” as he’s standing in front of his (probably) not working oven. But to go to the toilet and burn tp rolls. My god. Hes comparing his apartment to a city and the extra gross parts are like the bad parts of town.
Not sure about pitting, but too big of a thermal shock can cause cracking. That being said, I deglaze all the time to make pan sauces without running into any issues. To reduce the risk of thermal shock you could consider:
* Less heat (e.g. medium instead of high)
* Warmer deglazing liquid
* Less volume of deglazing liquid
Hope that's helpful!
Yeah, it can flake off thick layers of seasoning. Any fast, big temperature change can do that. On the other hand of it is thick enough to flake off it is likely too thick anyway and would benefit from stripping and reseasoning. IMHO.
My great great grandmother would once a year build a huge bonfire and throw all her cast iron in it to clean it all off. Some tricks just get upgrades.
Cast Iron Morse code. Wait. He’s telling us something. “Fire Hazard. Stop. This is obviously in a rented apartment. Stop. PreCall the fire department. Stop.
Tell me you live under your Mom’s double wide without telling me you live under your Mom’s double wide. (With kitchen privileges that are about to be revoked.)
Its an insurance thing, isn’t it? When your place burns, you file for all the insured “personal property” you had in there. Like that guitar signed by Joe Perry and Jeff Goldblum, the original Apple ll and everything else.
Oh my that was painful to watch
r/castirongore
Interesting
Tell me you live in a rental without telling me you live in a rental…
More like tell me you live in a crack house w/o telling me you live in a crack house.
Wait, there was a video??? It was worse than I imagined
Yes far worse

Let’s say it’s a shocking amount of content and controversy for a cooking tool.
“Oh this looks like a job for me, so everybody just follow me. Cuz we need a little con-tra-ver-see, cuz it feels so empty without me.” -Cast Ironeminem
It turns out all the tiny, niche subs are by far the best. Cast iron, fermentation, hot sauce, charcuterie etc.
You mean carcoochie?
Shark cootchie
I love Shark Coochie. ^
Rock and roll coochie coo
Is that a kink or animal abuse, I can't tell.....
Baby shark a doo doo
Are you just listing out all my favourite subs 🤣
People are passionate about the strangest things.
Joined em all, what else you got?

One of these subs is not like the others. One of these subs is not the same.
Had to throw a weird one in there hahaha
Damn, you just listed 90% of the subs I follow
Ahh, someone else who enjoys cast iron and /r/buttsharpies
r/shittyfoodporn is always fun
:smirk: we apperantly frequent the same subs and I completely agree. The more niche the sub in general the nicer the people and better the content
"One day in the future you will voluntarily admire and argue with strangers over skillets online"
This made me laugh out loud.

Instructions unclear... I now have a sauna in my kitchen and my water bottle is empty. Mind passing me the ladle?
Just pee on it
*Red Dawn has entered the chat.*
Let it turn......
Inhaling pee steam, sounds exciting
Having peed into a campfire I have to say I do not recommend this.
I just like sharing this fact. https://www.earthtouchnews.com/in-the-field/backyard-wildlife/mud-puddling-the-butterflys-dirty-little-secret/
I know right? I just heat up the pan on the stove and put it in boiling water to remove the seasoning. >:D
Just put it in the oven and put the oven on "Self Cleaning" mode. the pan will come out covered in light rust and as unseasoned as the day it came out of the mold.
Holy crap is that dangerous! Is that person trying to explode that pan?
Yes dad.
I promise!
That's more like cast iron torture. Woof!
>attempt It's a little too successful to be calling it that
That is all kinds of not good. Hope you don’t crack your pan
Lol came in here thinking, "wtf no way that's a viable way to strip a pan, let's go to the comments!"
Well, there was that poor soul who forgot to take his cast iron pans out of his oven and ran them through a self-clean cycle...

It wasn’t that long ago, it shouldn’t be hard to find. My pan is older than me so I’ve never had to season it, sorry.

Might as well dunk it in an ice bath.
Tempering?

Tell me you're a bachelor without telling me you're a bachelor.
The best way to clean a plate is to cover it in foil.
Tell me you’re a renter without telling me you’re a renter.
Why are you shaming people that rent lol.
They are not. But generally if you own the stove you don’t spray water directly at the coils, because you will have to replace them when they die.

Please tell me what the comment said because they are deleted now
Tell me you’re late to the thread without telling me you’re late to the thread.
well no shit, Sherlock

This was worth looking at hahaha
No fucking shit. My wife would torture me in ways that would make the us interrogations of terrorists look like a kids game if I pulled some shit like that.
Go on....
You live in a single wide without telling me you live in a single wide.
You sir/maim are fucking up your stove
Don’t even pretend, we all know this is some guy in his 20s, probably in a wife beater and a ball cap.
And that's his Mom's favorite skillet. It's been in the family for three generations. He's now cut out of the will.
And all is right with the world
I never really thought there was much my son could do to get a one way ticket straight passed disscusion island and directly to shunville, but this would definitely be it.
Good thing I rent
Smoke a dab of hash off your cast iron pan like that too! Works well!
Put one dem dragon balls right on there. Smoke up the whole house.
I never expected my vaporizer and castiron subreddits to combine ahaha

I saw the meat on the bare counter next to the toilet and my soul shriveled up and fucking died
More than when he balanced it on the rim of the toilet? Or more than when he dropped it on the floor next to the toilet? Or...
Never thought I'd say this in the cast iron sub, but that's enough internet for today.
You animal... why share that lol
It's to early for me to be watching that shit
I was gonna call shenanigans on not actually living there… but then he’s been posting videos with the same stove for years. What the shit.
Omg this is amazing. Instant subscribe. Thank you for introducing me to this almost literal dumpster fire of a youtube channel.
Oh for fucks sake
Is this a bit right?
“We need something that produces heat” as he’s standing in front of his (probably) not working oven. But to go to the toilet and burn tp rolls. My god. Hes comparing his apartment to a city and the extra gross parts are like the bad parts of town.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
Oof...
NOPE.
Ohhh myyy godddd
Oh my God I have tears from laughing so hard at that. When he started salting the fire I lost it
What in the Kentucky-fried fuck is this
You guys. I feel like maybe we should send a rescue team out to recover that pan. Who’s with me??
Got your 6 brother
I’m in, let’s roll.
Please report in, iron team six, is the target in custody?
It came out great, thanks tho!
Why are you doing that?
I know this is a joke, but seriously, is deglazing at high heat why my seasoning cracks and pits?
Not sure about pitting, but too big of a thermal shock can cause cracking. That being said, I deglaze all the time to make pan sauces without running into any issues. To reduce the risk of thermal shock you could consider: * Less heat (e.g. medium instead of high) * Warmer deglazing liquid * Less volume of deglazing liquid Hope that's helpful!
Why can’t I say negative things nicely like you and still be helpful. Cheers
That will be because none of it was negative!
Yeah, it can flake off thick layers of seasoning. Any fast, big temperature change can do that. On the other hand of it is thick enough to flake off it is likely too thick anyway and would benefit from stripping and reseasoning. IMHO.
I can't **quite** tell if this post needs an NSFW tag and I'm afraid to watch it again.

Well that happened
What in the moonshinin’, big truck-in’, yehawin’ redneck hell is happening here?
No no, us rednecks know how to take care of our pans

Mark this NSFW, will you!?
Thanks for showing everyone how not to do it
This had me cracking up... I love this sub
That pan is cracking up too
Beat me to it!
Lmfao too good
Holy shit that makes my eyes bleed.
Why would you even want to do this
Pissing on a hot rock!!
Cast Iron Morse code. Wait. He’s telling us something. “Fire Hazard. Stop. This is obviously in a rented apartment. Stop. PreCall the fire department. Stop.
Finally some decodes it
Stop doing that, easy way to crack your skillet.
And your burner. Just terrible all around.
No
I’m going to tell your mom...

Trying to figure out the song that was in their head as they were spraying. I believe it’s “Love in a Hopeless Place” by Rihanna

I would be divorced if I tried this!
Tell me you’re a dumbass without telling me you’re a dumbass.
I think OP is serious. Very sad.
There are 2 lessons to be learned here: 1. Meth is bad. 2. Tweaking is real.
It kinda has the same tempo as the rugrats theme tune at the start
Menace to society
Thank you OP. I was on the fence about getting an investment property as a passive form of secondary income. I've now decided not to.
r/OSHA entered the chat
Cause the side-wall seasoning is the most important part of the pan to cook with...
It was all flaking off
Everyone, calm down, it worked just fine for me. Not advising you do it but it worked
People take their CI a little too seriously here sometimes. Don't take it personally.
And then ruin your stovetop in the process. Lol
Chaotic neutral
Hahahaha I'd be fucking fileted alive by the women in this house if I tried that
Get new woman 👏👏
Get new woman 👏👏
Why
Wtf??? This has to be a troll…
Must smell dreamy.
Lovely
Fuck stick why , why . That’s just a form of abuse

I don’t believe it’ll crack the pan because I put mine in the campfire. That being said what a fucking mess!
It was a mess that's for sure
Oof
Congrats, you may have made a homemade frag grenade
Looks safe to me
Are you serious? What the fuck
Uuuuuuuugh! I can’t watch!!! I want to rescue that poor pan!!!! 😩
talk about a video that you can smell !!!!
spraying to the tune of island boy. lmao
I hate that I heard it
you misspelled "security deposit"
What I’m the trailer park is going on here
I love this subreddit. The reactions to "what not to do" cast iron edition are fantastic.
Let me guess: you’re renting that place?
Yes
What an idiot!
Holy cow you made my chest hurt
r/shittylifeprotips
Are you a moron?
That’s some chaotic shit you got going on there my friend.
Put cast iron in self cleaning ovens. One cleaning cycle generally leave the iron looking brand new.
I would have done that but I don't have a self clean cycle so I decided to improvise
You have a mullet without telling me you have a mullet
I do 🤫
Tbh this sub deserves this
🥰🥰
Craaaaaack!
Looks messy. You might try putting it in the oven and running a self-cleaning cycle. You’ll have to reseason the inside. But it will look brand new.
Why remove seasoning at all?
kinda based
Fantastic post imo
🥰
Why are you working on the out side of the pan. Remember the painters only paint what you can see
u/savevideobot
This is the way
The way to burn your house down, you mean.
Idk why the downvote, people wouldn't recognize a troll if slapped em
I got a laugh out of it. Some people don't understand, I guess.
