Oil for Cast iron pot...

I bought a jambalaya pot and burner setup from R&R welding and it is the bomb. Got many compliments at the cook off last weekend. What type of oil do you guys use on the inside after cleaning? I used to use vegetable oil but it gets sticky after awhile and rancid. Someone told me to use food grade mineral oil....what y’all think?

Mineral Oil is correct. I get it from work.

How much oil are you applying that it gets gummy and rancid?

Wipe the small amount of post-cleaning oil with paper towel or similar until no oil residue remains. Get it "dry," and no gummy stuff will develop.
I've done the gummy and had to burn it out and start over.

Youre putting too much oil on. Vegetable will be fine if you dont use too much.

Mineral oil in a spray bottle. Doesn't go rancid.

When you store it throw a few paper towels in the pot to help absorb any moisture as well. I use canola oil in a spray can.

I just get my pot/pan good and hot, then plop a small teaspoon of lard in it and spread it around using a wad of paper towels. (held by tongs if to hot)
It thin coats it, and kinda cleans the residue at the same time.

I stripped down a skillet last month to the base layer and used grapeseed oil and have used it after cooking/cleaning and it's been by far the best I've used. I haven't used mineral oil though.

Flaxseed Oil

Some say it doesn’t matter what oil you use. They are all wrong. It does matter what oil you use, and the oil that gives the best results is not in this list. So what is it? Here are some hints: What oil do artists mix with pigment for a high quality oil paint that dries hard and glassy on the canvas? What oil is commonly used by woodturners to give their sculptures a protective, soft-sheen finish? It’s the same oil. Now what is the food-grade equivalent of this oil? The oil used by artists and woodturners is linseed oil. The food-grade equivalent is called flaxseed oil.

Flaxseed is the best for seasoning black iron pots for sure. For storing the pot and oiling after each use, I use a light coat of food grade mineral oil. Flaxseed is quite expensive from what I remember as well.

Vegetable oil is fine, you need to leave a crack in the lid with a folded paper towel...also leave a folded paper towel in bottom if you feel you put too much
