Cast iron seasoned 80 times!

This person must spend their entire spare time seasoning cast iron

Then he used it once and cleaned it in the dish washer...after all, seasoning cast iron is "satisfying".

I was gonna say his kids left it soaking in soapy water for days in the bottom of the sink, but you beat me to it. 😀

When I season I take the piece to 500 F for an hour and a half then let it cool slowly in the oven until the next day. I don’t know what 80 coats would make my electric bill look like and have no desire to find out. Three coats works fine for me. If you’re looking for a way to make a display piece season it with mineral oil. It will be beautiful to look at, just not to cook with.

Some folks are just nuts!

I think for me the best way to season it is to use it. But then, my trusty Lodge 12" definitely does not have a mirror finish like his!

The one thing I wish I had seasoned more/better is my 14" carbon steel wok, but it'll get there some day.

I would never actually do that even though i work from home and it would be relatively non-invasive into my daily schedule. Have to admit it looks gorgeous though.

Some people just love the process!

Looking at the photos, I did not see much of a difference between 50 coats and 80. The eggs will slide right out either way.

I'm not sure which is my favorite line.....

This one: "Reddit user u/fatmummy222 who asked to be referred to as “Dewey"

or this one: "And also to make random internet strangers unreasonably mad."
