Cast iron 'seasoning' isn't a surface coating — it's polymerized fat that's chemically bonded to the metal through repeated heating. The pan your grandmother left you might have sixty years of cooking embedded at a molecular level. You're not cleaning it. You're adding to it. #cooking #castIron #food

Got curious why cast iron needs seasoning and stainless doesn't. Iron is porous at a microscopic level — the oil polymerizes and bonds into the pores. Stainless is basically nonporous already. So seasoning isn't a coating on top, it's plugging holes that were always there. #cooking #castiron #kitchen

Today I went to Taylor's Bellfoundry where I got to watch them cast some iron headstocks. It was really interesting!
