Hi guys,
Today I re-seasoned my cast iron skillet from scratch.
I used the 3 times boiling method to clean it prior and It looked pretty good, gray with a metallic shine, after drying.
This time I seasoned it with bacon grease hoping it would not do like all the previous times when I used canola and olive oil and seasoned with full of little round spots instead of an even layer.
I had it upside down in the oven for 30 min at 400F (I was cooking something at the same time). I tried to apply the least possible amount of grease , just enough so that it looks shiny everywhere.
When I took it out a few hours later it was full of those damns spot again.
I took some photos of it, but unfortunately when I though about asking you guys, I had already greased them another layer with a paper towel and some bacon grease.
So basicly..Took out the pan out of the oven, rub some more bacon grease with a towel and then took the pictures.
You can click on them by the way to see it in full resolution.
This one is a very old one I got from my grandma, there is no indication of the brand on it. I have another 30+ years old Le Creuset and it does the exact same thing...
I Would really like to know what is causing this every single time I season both of my cast iron pan.
Thanks,
Julien
