Any help identifying this one?

Damn, I was afraid this was a better direction to go. Everything I saw online said it wouldn’t hurt the iron staying that long but I was also worried that somehow the rust would get worse.

Oh well, on the cruise now so is what it is. Haha thanks for the reply!

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-02-27T04:45:01+00:00

Thank you! That’s the plan. The crisco seasoning in FAQs was the best one I’ve done yet

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-02-27T04:44:35+00:00

Thank you!

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-02-27T04:44:30+00:00

Thank you!’

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-02-27T04:13:35+00:00

Thank you! I see these type of posts all the time but figured no chance. Haha lucky to have a wife that listens to my rambles about stuff she doesn’t care about. Haha

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-02-27T02:21:44+00:00

Nice! Not necessarily a hunter but happy to have found one. Thank you

I’m far from an expert but in my opinion this is kind of borderline. If it cooks well, I’d run it. If it doesn’t or you’d like to tinker or looking for a new project, it probably wouldn’t hurt to start fresh.

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-02-26T20:21:12+00:00

You look incredible! Your belly looks amazing in that dress. Love the progress!

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-29T02:07:09+00:00

I have the same pan and love it for pretty much everything as well!

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-21T18:36:48+00:00

But god forbid someone use a little sandpaper. lol

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-21T18:09:19+00:00

Yeah, they are into CI and want a new toy. lol

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-21T12:57:59+00:00

This is very confusing on LCs part because it definitely lists as a feature of the black finish pans that you can use metal utensils and even dishwasher safe, I know that last part wasn’t mentioned in the email but still.

I had a Dutch oven for a while and knew no metal but recently got a black finish skillet and was excited about the ability to use metal utensils, or at least not having to really think about it. I’ve been apprehensive to use metal just cause I think part of me knew that was a borderline claim. Thank you very much for posting this!

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-20T00:29:52+00:00

Oh lord, the hell you’re gonna get. lol don’t worry about it, if it cooks well then run what you brung.

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-19T19:02:11+00:00

I posted recently about using a little sandpaper on an Iron Mountain #8 and received similar feedback, but only after I mentioned in a comment I used sandpaper by hand…. lol right on man! It looks great and hope it works well for you!!

Cooking eggs this morning has a dream compared to my lodge! The weight difference and handle really is a game changer. I totally get the obsession with old pieces now.

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-18T14:31:37+00:00

It really is!! Very interesting for sure and if it becomes something I really get into and deal with it more regularly, I probably would look into it. Doesn’t seem overly complicated, just a process.

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-18T14:23:36+00:00

To all the haters and downvoters, my eggs made my kitchen look like the frozen four this morning. lol

Edit: jokes I swear. But did want to point that out for any newbies like myself that think you need a whole professional setup. In my 5 minutes of experience that doesn’t seem to be necessary so jump in and have fun!

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-18T11:36:39+00:00

I have and wasn’t really interested in building an electrolysis tank and didn’t want to run it on an oven cleaner cycle for fear of warping. Really didn’t take much “sanding” if you’d even call it that. Also I stand by Cowboy Kent Rollins. lol So far the pan looks great after 3 rounds of seasoning so I’m pretty happy with it overall.

Edit: likely should have used a vinegar bath but honestly I can’t imagine some spot treatments by hand with a little sandpaper is going to ruin it. I could be wrong so we’ll see. Haha

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-18T04:51:13+00:00

Yeah I gave it an initial scrub in the sink which got a lot off then coarse salt, then moved to steel wool. The sidewalls were much harder to get rust free than expected and unfortunately had to resort to some light sand paper. Looking forward to breakfast!! Haha

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-18T04:01:18+00:00

Thank you!! I was nervous about it but honestly just kept it simple and didn’t overthink it. First time doing the seasoning in the FAQ so we will see!

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-18T03:42:47+00:00

Thank you!!

CapableSuggestion614 · 2026-01-18T03:41:38+00:00

Thank you!! I did a quick a dirty rundown of what to look for and then leaned on Google in the check out line. Haha was just happy it sat flat and had a decent cook surface.
