Cast iron may be superior cookware, but it is not the simplest cookware to use - you can't soak it, and you have the extra step of rubbing it with oil after every use.

Starting coat #3. Will post some pics when it is done. Late start tonight, but I will be up late anyways, so figured I would get it done.

Finished coat #3. Looks pretty similiar to coat #2, although I noticed around the edge and walls of the skillet are starting to turn a bit darker. Going to do three more rounds. The coat of flaxseed oil I am putting on is pretty thin, which is what the instructions suggest, but I wonder if it is too thin? Too thick is bad, so I would rather be too thin and have to do an extra round or two of seasoning than to have too much. Also, for the last few coats I think I will go ahead and coat the entire outside of the pan as well, since there is plenty of oil on the paper towel after I wipe out the inside...might as well put it to good use. I am anxious to start using the pan and see it action!

Starting coat #4, will post pics when it is done later on tonight. Hoping to do coat #5 tomorrow, and will probably do a sixth and final coat on Tuesday night.

Great job. Just got my 10inch Lodge per FMB's recommendation. I will probably post questions and thoughts on this thread.

Very cool stuff, dude. I'm going to do this at some point before the end of the year. I also have a couple of carbon steel pans that need to be re-done. Think I may use this method on them.
Thanks for detailing the process with pics! |

Thanks guys...I hope that the skillet cooks as well as it is starting to look. 4th coat is done, starting to get a dark black sheen to it. Feeling really smooth as well. Two more coats to go, I think it is going to cooking really good once all is said and done.

I had the wife pick up some flaxseed oil and some Easy Off tonight. Will start one of my carbon steel pans tomorrow!

Carbon steel, 10-inch and 8-inch. Stripped of seasoning, in the oven now with a coat of flaxseed.
