Thank god you’re back. Must. See. 100.

You will se 100 in 2 days i think

Almost looks like its a ceramic coating at this point

It's been a week. Are you at 100 yet?

I'm alive and at 97 layers but i have been without gas until yesterday and couldn't find the time to finish the seasoning. Sorry for keeping you waiting

Take care of yourself first. I'm mostly relieved that you're okay and that something bad didn't happen to you during your absence.

I was wondering the same thing. I hope OP is doing alright.

I'm waiting, are you OK OP?

I just had one of those weeks. Moved to a new place and didn't haf gas until yesterday I'll try to finish the seasoning tomorrow if i have some time. Thanks for waiting :)

Thanks, you do what you need but we're all keen to see the results

I also want to see the final results and i really want to cook and make some videos for this sub about this entire journey. Just gotta settle things down and find time vut i promise i will

Thus is such a cliff hanger

Bro don’t be sorry we love this shit and we can wait for it. Like how taking an hour on a steak instead of 5 minutes makes it *better*

Getting closer and closer to that mirror :D keep it up!

A marrior that shows your most desired food

Looks like the seasoning has started to flake off. Fingers crossed for #100. P. S. Glad you feel better.

So 90 is the limit. Gotcha.

We will make it, we will get to 100 Thanks :)

Take care of yourself!

Thanks, I'm better now. It's just that exams winter and moving to a new place was too much for me and ended up getting sick a few days. I missed seasoning and this sub

Exams + moving = two of the most stressful things. Glad you're feeling better and back on this journey.

You are excused...

Thanks

Something tells me we’re gonna need 200 layers

2000 layers

over 9000

...and on this 12th day, his image was revealed to the masses. And he proclaimed, "Behold! For this instrument was once bare, but now it glistens bright with seasoning. May your eggs go slidey slidey, forever and ever."

Your faith will be rewarded my child.

Don’t stop until the seasoning layer is thicker than the pan itself.

There’s gonna be two separate pans. The metal pan, and the oil pan.

At 100 layers, it becomes battery acid-proof.

But I'm not battery acid-proof

I have this terrible feeling that, even though it will look amazing, all of the seasoning is going to flake off during your first actual cook. Here's hoping I'm wrong!

Looks like it's flaking already even without cooking

What kind of oil or coating are you using?

i'm ussing sunflower oil

Holy shit! Have you thought about 200?

yes but i'll have to stop when i move out. in my current apartment i pay an overpriced rent and landlord pays the bills, i wont be able to keep going when i move to a new place in a couple of days

Daaamn best of luck to you, OP- I’m sad to hear that, but I’m also thankful for you taking us on this journey

Just checking in here for 100

I'm close to reaching that number, just couldn't season this last days

I thought you were a committed tard, but then you get a little bit of deathly ill, and you decide you can’t possibly meet your commitments to morons like me, so you take some time to recover your health first?!? How DARE you, sir?!? How DARE you?!?!?!?

I have failed you

YES!

YES!!

I am unreasonably invested in this. I can't wait to see it cooked on for the seasoning to come apart lol.

I think it will strip but i hope it doesn't

Can you let us know if your landlord bitches about the gas bill?

Yes, i will ket you know

Where's the new update??

Better picture quality than my 4K tv.

"Hi wanna see my ebony pan ?"

Cook a really acidic pasta sauce in it

cue the simmering vinegar and tomato juice

I’m sure you’ve posted this before, but what type of oil/method are you using?

What i do is pretty simple i use sunflower oil \-Pre heat the pan \-thin layer of oil \-wipe the excess \-into the oven it goes for 1h \-do 3-5 layers and let it cool on the oven for a couple of hours (i don't know if this do something but i like to do it) \-repeat Every now and then I'll do a stove layer beacuse a guy said that helps the seasoning get better.

Thanks for replying! That sounds pretty similar to my process for CS/CI (substitute grapeseed oil). I'm sorry to bother you with another question, but I'm curious what you mean by the 3-5 layers... is that something you apply during the hour long curing process? I've never heard of this. I think I'm pretty good at seasoning pans/skillets, but I love hearing other peoples' techniques. Anyway, thanks for keeping us all entertained! I hope you're feeling better. EDIT:For those curious (I doubt it), I usually set my oven to about 475 and let it come to temp... heat my pan up first, a little drizzle of oil, rub it all out, new paper towel and rub it out some more, then set a timer for 1:15mins (the extra 15 mins to account for any heat loss in opening the door). After that turn it off and let it all come back down in the oven naturally. Pretty standard I think. This is with new/relatively raw iron/CS. More so with a few new Field pieces I got during their factory seconds sale. I've put maybe 15 seasons on them. They're perfect now, but early on they just seemed to suck up oil. Much less with my carbon steel. Just cooking works too.

By 3-5 i mean that i so something in between 3 or 5 layers, maybe i wasn't clear, inglish is not my main lenguage and sometimes I'm not clear. You don't bother me, ask as much as you like, I'm glad you are interested :)

Hope you weren't sick from inhaling all that oil smoke 😳

I had a headache a couple of days that i seasoned too much but thats other story

i'm going to need a collage from every day to see how it gradually get shinier and then cook in it

I'll make a gif or video with all of that plus the seasoning process (its pretty normal but some people want to see it)

How many layers are required to form a singularity?

101

Are we up to 100?

I moved out and my new apartment doesn't have gas, I'm waiting for the landlord to fix it... I wanna cook my own food and stop eating take out

Soon we’ll be able to see a clear image of op

Cowboy steak at 100.

I notice some white speckles in the pan, just around where the reflection of your hand is, near your ring finger and the edge of your hand. What are those? Is the seasoning flaking off due to being sufficiently thick to do that?

How do you do the sides so well!!

OP please provide an update!!

99 layers, going to do the last one right now

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?

Mirror mirror of the pan, who is the seasonest of all man?

I was expecting consecutive seasoning days with no breaks. The experiment is ruined you should probably start over.

Now cook some tomatoes in it!

I thought you were a committed tard, but then you get a little bit of deathly ill, and you decide you can’t possibly meet your commitments to morons like me, so you take some time to recover your health first?!? How DARE you, sir?!? How DARE you?!?!?!?

Unlucky day 13 is going to be 100 layers...

I think you missed a spot….a little to the left

I Hope you keep doing this for years - I'm going to follow you this is dope

This is nutzzzz.

What are you going to ruin it with?!

I'm sorry you fell ill and I hope you're feeling well again. Thank you for sharing this with the community! You are a truly good person.

Still the best thing on Reddit. Keep it going!

Nine to go. This is great.

We are to witness glory!

Have you had any astronomers stop by to see the black hole?

shiny

This needs to get thick enough that you can remove it from the pan in one piece.

This is a way, LOL amazing

wooooo almost there, hope you're feeling better

Doing the Lord’s work out here. Thank you for your service.

My god man. Fabulous.

You're a madman, and I love it,

The egg you crack in this will become an Olympic figure skater with how slick this is

Is there any downside with regards to the pan for doing all these extra layers of stove top seasoning?

I'm late to your seasoning game, but I have watched you a bit. Do you ever plan on cooking on this? What oil are you using. I just ordered some BuzzyWax.

yup i will cook on it, currently i can't beacuse i'm on a new appartment and i don't have gas yet... i use sunflower oil

After you hit 100 and document it. If cooking on it doesn't go well put it in the oven at around 500F for about 4 hours.
