What do seed oil disrespectors season their cast iron with?
Discussion
Tallow, avocado oil.
Does it work well? Seems antithetical to achieving polymerization with oils low in polyunsaturated fats?
Seems like this is a good case for making an exception
It seems like reasonable people should be concerned with meaningful quantities, not "if I touch a molecule of seed oil I'm ded!"
Season your cast iron with whatever is best for seasoning cast iron.
And when you cook in it, use whatever oil you want to be eating.
Seems fine?
Yeah that’s sorta where I’m at. Besides, you’re using seed oils with their intended purpose, as a lubricant right? 😂
I just don’t have any of that in my house so wanted to see if there’s another viable option that ppl are getting good results with.

Whoa, mind blown!
Does olive oil count as a seed oil?
Nah assuming it’s 100% pure. But low smoke point and polyunsaturated fats means it’s not ideal for seasoning a pan with. Have you tried it?
Yes, but I’m not sure if it’s successfully seasoning the pan. Eggs seem to cook fine without sticking much if I heat some oil first. I rub oil on the pan after cooking.
I haven't specifically seasoned mine. I'm not sure what I'll use, yet, but I'm leaning towards avacado oil.
