I agree, people who misunderstand how to season CI deserve death.

Do it correctly and there is no rancid grease, and you can wash the fucker with soap if you like. People who fail at seasoning and keep their pan perpetually oily instead deserve the rope.

Why would the oil be rancid. You’re supposed to heat the pan after cleaning it until it just starts to smoke to make sure anything left on it is cooked. Don’t just coat your cast iron with some oil then let it sit.

>Why would the oil be rancid.
A lot of people who don't know how to properly care for cast iron will wipe it with oil after every use. They do this to stop it from rusting because they never managed to season it correctly in the first place. When you do that, oxygen from the air + oil = rancidity.

Before it’s developed a thorough seasoning that coats the whole pan you have to. It also helps develop that seasoning by reading a layer of oil over the exposed iron

Once you get a new pan you season it. Exactly once. Then unless you fuck up somehow you will never have to mess with maintaining it again.

>>It also helps develop that seasoning by reading a layer of oil over the exposed iron
I assume you meant "spreading" rather than reading? If so, NO. It doesn't do a damn thing except get your pan nasty and rancid. Season your pan correctly and you don't have to keep it perpetually oily.

The most common fuckups I see are people using too much oil, not heating it long enough, or heating it so hot that they burn the oil instead.

I dare you to season a cast iron slab, season it properly and send it through a microscope.
Alternatively don't wipe your cast iron with oil and don't use it for a month. I guarantee you it will be rusty.
A seasoning is fundamentally porous, no amount of doing it right or wrong will keep it from rusting without a thin layer of oil.
And oil won't get rancid if you just keep use the fucking pan.
Stop talking out of your ass.

Many people think cast iron heats evenly, but actually cast iron's thermal conductivity sucks.

Copper 413 W/m K
Aluminium 237 W/m K
Cast Iron 52 W/m K

Sure, if you use the pan often there won't be enough time for it to get rancid. But why bother oiling the pan in the first place? Just do the job right and you don't have to keep your pan perpetually oil.

I've owned this brand skillet, even with the red glaze, for like 5 years, and there is not 1 crumb of left-on food. It's still perfectly seasoned, with only an arbitrary stain on it (of which mystifies me, but it is only a color stain, its smooth as the surrounding pan area).
