Also @jdcamb the best I've found is flax seed oil. Apparently Omega 3 fatty acids polymerize to form a super durable coating on cast iron, and flax side has the highest concentration of them.

You're the second person to tell me this. Thanks.

I definitely find it to be more durable than other seasonings. If you want the exact method shoot me a pm.

The flax, ma'am, just the flax.

How about fried eggs? They always polymerize to form a super durable coating.

I also use flax seed oil on my cutting boards.

Yeah, I wouldn’t use PUFAs whether n-3 or -6 on anything heated.

HODEs are oxidated products of PUFAs. They lead to LDL oxidation among other things. These data are after this protocol, noting heating to 180 C:

Can someone summarize, am I supposed to be using Shimano mineral oil or SRAM 0W-30?

For anything that is heated I’d suggest saturated fat.

Basically, the cure for wandering Shimano bite point is bacon grease.

Which is fine and dandy, but I'm not suggesting actually cooking with flaxseed oil.

You don’t think there’s transfer from the coating to the foods later on?

Not if you season it correctly. I've heard of people running a flax seasoned skillet through a dishwasher without any issues to the coating.

What's a good alternate to flax as I can't use that with wifey?

Enamel coated cast iron?

Hypoid SAE 90.

Naw. Use lardo.

They don't stay non stick for very long, but a bit longer than regular non stick pans.
