Yesterday I made a post about how my brother kinda destroyed our mini cast iron skillet. It’s looking amazing after 2 rounds of seasoning! Thanks to the community for a warm welcome. I can’t wait to try something out in it other than eggs; any suggestions for such a tiny little guy?

Perfect pan for a personal brownie or cookie cake!

Do you find that vegetable oil gives you the best seasoning or have you also tried other oils/fats?

I’ve always used crisco myself and had good results. I wouldn’t cook with it, but I keep a small tub for seasoning

This is my first time seasoning and I haven’t cooked in it yet so I can’t say. If you wanna see more details and some suggestions the community made for oils you can check out my first post here (from my lemmy.world account that posted this, lemmy.world is not working right now so I’m replying from a different instance)

Woops. That’s not correct.

500f. I’m Canadian so temperatures are in Celsius in my mind, ovens we still use Farenheit.
