Is Blacklock Griddle 10.5inch Good for Tiny House Living?

What's the best oil for seasoning cast iron?

Flaxseed oil creates the hardest seasoning but can flake. Crisco or vegetable oil are reliable and affordable. Avoid olive oil—its low smoke point creates sticky seasoning.

How do I store cast iron to prevent rust?

Store in a dry place with lids off or askew for airflow. Place paper towels between stacked pans. In humid climates, a thin oil coating helps.

Can I use metal utensils on cast iron?

Yes, well-seasoned cast iron can handle metal utensils. The seasoning is bonded to the iron and won't flake off from normal metal spatula use. Avoid excessive scraping or cutting directly in the pan.

Can I cook acidic foods in cast iron?

Brief contact with acidic foods (tomatoes, wine, citrus) is fine. Avoid simmering acidic dishes for more than 30 minutes, as this can damage seasoning and give food a metallic taste.
