Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Maybe you got lucky or I got unlucky, but cast iron plus dishwasher equals having to reseason from scratch for me
That's just adding a bit of oil and spreading it over the surface with a piece of paper, takes like 10 seconds. I have done that after washing it for 40 years and it works as well as anything I found people saying online.
Some insane people insist on sticking it in an oven with bacon grease or something but as far as I'm concerned it doesn't do anything more than just adding a bit of oil and leaving it alone. I did that once and felt completely ridiculous for wasting so much time for the same result.
You can either do it slowly by just cooking with it over and over to get the layer of polymerized oil or you put on a thin layer and bake it on there to do it the fast way
Or do it the really fast way and just oil it with zero heat
You do that to keep a protective layer of oil on there.
But, yes, that would achieve the first part of my statement the next time you used it to cook.
