The Controversial TRUTH About Crisco on Cast Iron

Nothing gets the cast iron community fired up like the blue can! In this episode, I’m cutting through the internet arguments to reveal the controversial truth about using Crisco on your cast iron.

We are looking at labels, smoke points, and why Crisco actually gives you better control to avoid those ugly "sunburned" leopard spots on your pans. I’ll show you the simple strategy to get that classic black glass look that grandma loved, without falling for the "skillet boogeyman" stories.
