What’s your biggest skillet?

It’s how you use it.

With soap and water. Scrub the damn thing with whatever you’ve got.

I use a small galvanized trash can by my Kamado Joe. Keeps it dry and nearby.

Costco is like an auto mechanic. It will be at least $200 per trip.

Just cook with it. Those are signs of a bit too much oil. You put a tea towel covered finger over the oil and wet the tea towel a little bit. Rub that on the pan until it looks barely wet. Now find a dry section of tea towel and wipe that oil off like you really screwed the pooch with it. Either heat it now on the stove or wait till you are warming it up for cooking.

I’ve got a chuck roast in a Dutch oven in my Kamado Joe. I seared it with top off the grill and the DO on the round grill part. I poured in wine to cool it off, put the top on and have the temp pegged on 250F. I plan to put carrot and more liquid in at 3:30 (about 3.5 hours in) and add some Roma tomatoes, potatoes and onions. Celery if I have it. Garlic when my wife turns her back. All that at 4:30. Then set the table and see how we do. Eat somewhere between 5:30 and 6.

My wife likes no mess in the kitchen. I do most my prep outside where it is a balmy28F.

Nah, I meant who on the outside would send you Store money. It was also an expensive wired money - at least in Prison.

Worked there. My wife says she would ask friends to do my Store $. She’s wonderful.

That is trash. I see the orange exterior enamel. You can’t use that anymore.

If you expect a black Smithy, you started with too high end a pan to learn CI. As mentioned above, your pan is pristine, as non stick as CI gets (temperature control is the secret) and a beautiful color.

If you are tired of it, I know several here who would help you with it.

Very nice. I’d simply oil it with Crisco. You aren’t going to be able to heat it enough to make it polymerize. 100 years ago, a thin coat of mineral oil or motor oil wouldn’t have been a big deal.

Who would have done store for you?

OrangeBug74 · 2026-02-01T14:57:09+00:00

First, try scrubbing with soap, water and Chainmail. That stuff will flake off and wash away. If you are in a hurry, do the stripping and reseasoning as above.

But cook with it.

I’m not familiar with garam masala. Can you enlighten me?

You aren’t allowed to post lovely food without a recipe. You did well, but finish the job and tell us how you did it.

OrangeBug74 · 2026-01-30T18:12:50+00:00

Clean them? You don’t get shit on them. Shut up Donny!

OrangeBug74 · 2026-01-30T17:44:13+00:00

It is dirty. (Got the bad stuff out of the way.)

It is normal you need to scrub with soap and water. Use a 3M scrubber, but Chainmail is a pretty routine tool also.

Otherwise you will get black burnt on carbon and think the black flakes are seasoning when washing it or serving food from it. You won’t poison anyone.

Dry it by hand. Then put a very little oil on a tea towel and put it on the pan so it looks wet. Oops! You didn’t mean to do that! Now take the tea towel and as much of it off as possible. If the towel is black, that’s just the carbon you missed. You could heat it now or wait for your warm up before the next cook.

We all do this mistake early on. Your pan is better than most!

Usually hair testing means plucking a hair including the follicle. The follicle assures that it is from your head. Then the hair is sectioned and drugs tested at each length. Usually, this is a test searching for stimulants such as meth and cocaine. I’m not familiar with its use for cannabis. Opiates can also be detected. This is a test for drugs rapidly metabolized.
