    Then my fictional grand kids can have my pan that has 5 different layers of seasoning on it with half of them peeling off.

    It will last even longer because it’s in my cupboard for 5 years at a time.

      Nooo give it to a disapproving hipster dude, so he can sand it and lovingly restore it and judge you!

      One of mine got crusty, I put it in the oven and ran it through a self clean cycle, it all burned off and I re-seasoned it, been smooth sailing since. So you could try setting it on fire like that.

        Tue secret to cast iron is fire.
        I know everyone talks about their tricks but mone has mostly just been lots of heat directly applied to it and then slap cheap oil and rub it with a rag I accidentally set on fire once and then back to the flame. I figure it worked for my ancestors. And they seasoned that shit with sunlight.
