Rack Attack Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Just go to the Blackstone website (the new propane flattops that are all over) and follow the same process they recommend. Basically use a high smoke point oil (flax seed) put a thin coat on, heat on high for 15 minutes, add another coat of oil and keep heating. Repeat these steps and it will turn a nice dark color and be seasoned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were thinking about adding the lodge to the registry I think we already did. Lodge makes an excellent cast iron pan. Figured could be fun trying to find a really old one. Though I doubt I'd even notice any difference. Maybe I'm better off sticking with lodge and then if an old one pops up then I just have multipleSent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd rather pay 6x the price to cook with a pan that has been god knows where? who can taste the difference between cast iron pans? If their pans were so good, why are they out of business?
