re: Chemistry of Cast Iron Seasoning: A Science-Based How-To

Well apparently my whole family has been doing it wrong for the whole history of forever.

I'll go tell our 80 year old pots that they need to be re-seasoned and promptly begin rusting them.

Seriously though, this is one of those cases of making something simple wayyyyyyy more involved than it needs to be.

Just season it however your daddy taught you to and cook in it often with your kids. By the time you become an old decrepit senile pain in everyone's arse, your son will still have a reallllllll good pot with real good memories and you'll still get to eat good and be proud.
