This is my issue with people who are like “but she gave up important military secrets and put soldiers at risk!!”
And it’s like, that’s a really nice propaganda-y way to say she exposed the military committing crimes and cruel acts that should not be allowed, but that active members literally aren’t given the choice to say anything against, because “it compromises our safety everyoen″. That’s a really fucking convenient excuse imo.
is that the reason that these oldschool pans never have a wooden handle? So you can treat them in the oven like this without destroying part of them?
Yes, thats why. Also so you can cook food in them in the oven or on an open fire without damage.
Always wipe clean with a wet rag or sponge after cooking, minimize scrubbing, simmer water in the pan to soften really stuck bits. Then dry fully and put just a smidge of your oil/fat of choice on it before putting the pan away. And liberally re-season (the coating with oil/fat and baking at 400 part) as needed if you notice things sticking more!
These pans will last multiple lifetimes, as evidenced by the video above.
This is always useful info. You never know when you’re going to come across a cast iron pot in need of a good home and some TLC.
