I can't wait to see her face. She honestly deserves it after all she's done.

Cast iron is "seasoned" to make it nonstick. That means many layers of oil build up as a sort of polymer. The point is to keep it "dirty" in this way. Cleaning it down to bare metal means she'd be forced to re-season it, which can take considerable time/effort depending on frequency of use. A true disservice.

Yes, but missing the nuance that seasoned cast iron that has been cleaned by dish soap has the black polymerized layer while a bunch of morons are opposed to actually cleaning and think burnt on food other than the polymerized oils is 'seasoning' and recommend just wiping it out with a towel.

My cast iron isn't anything special but it sheds more water than my non-stick ceramic when turned sideways while cleaning and wiping doesn't leave any black stains on a paper towel.

I never figured out how this is reconciled - it just sounds dirty AF (and I'm no clean freak at all!)

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 4 points 44 minutes ago

you're supposed to wash cast iron with water, then soap then water again. then you dry, put it on a hot stove, and once all the water evaporates away, you rub it down with some oil on a cloth/paper towel, and get that real hot. then you can turn off the heat, and wipe off excess oil before putting it away. It's not as straightforward as just tossing it into the dishwasher, but it's not as complicated as some would have you believe. also, you can wash cast iron. soap doesn't hurt it.

That's the stuff on standard non-stick pans (teflon). You don't make PFAS by burning in some oil at home.

[–] AliasVortex@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Seasoning is just oil baked onto cast iron through a process called polymerization. It gives your cookware that classic black patina. Seasoning forms a natural, easy-release cooking surface and helps prevent your pan from rusting.

- Lodge (as I understand it, they're the gold standard for cast iron cookware)

In the case of non-stick stuff, it's less that they're seasoned with PFAS and more that they don't need seasoning because they have PFAS (at least in theory).

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The seasoning is plastic. That's what polymerized means. The F in PFAS stands for flourine which I don't think you'll have in your seasoning

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Plastics made from petroleum aren’t the same thing as heated up vegetable oil.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Did they sayil it was?

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 2 points 24 minutes ago

No, and nor is the teflon in the pans you're thinking if. PFAS is a chemical used in the manufacture of Teflon (or was, I thought they'd stopped now) not teflon itself. The problem with PFAS is accidental release and dumping.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

No, that's the opposite

You can season nearly anything with oil. Except aluminum, which needs a Teflon coating or it gets nasty very fast. Except Teflon is non reactive to nearly everything

Except pfas. You can dissolve Teflon in pfas and spray it onto aluminum

Cast iron pans have to be burned in with oil to create a non-stick patina. If you use aggressive cleaning agents or steel wool, this patina gets stripped, and the process has to be repeated

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 hours ago

Could do with that on mine tbh, seasoning starting to flake in patches. Shame as it was getting pretty good.
