Seasoned some cast iron skillets. I was cleaning out my storage building the other day and found these skillets that my mother-in-law had asked if I would burn them the next time I had a fire, (that was over a year ago), so...
had a bunch of stuff to burn and left the skillets overnight in the coals.
After thoroughly cleaning them I started the seasoning process by oiling them, wiping off excess and heating in a 400 degree oven for an hour, the plan was to repeat this process at least four times being that I was starting from scratch.
After the first round, I noticed that they had a very rough texture inside and out and I didn't like that so I wet sanded them inside and out with 100 grit and then 400 grit for a smooth cooking surface and started the whole process over again. So far, after two rounds of seasoning, I think they are looking pretty good. The larger one was more of a silvery gray color to begin with and after one round it was looking that nice warm bronze, after two rounds it is a little darker.
I used vegetable oil for the first two rounds but have now switched to coconut oil. The third round is currently underway so round four may have to wait until tomorrow. My wife liked how they already looked and said jokingly that we may just keep them, I'm sure my mother-in-law will like them.
