Seasoning a Carbon Steel Pan | Easy Oven Method at Home

Seasoning your carbon steel pan the right way is the key to building a strong, naturally non-stick layer that gets better every time you cook. 🔥 In this video, I show you how to season a carbon steel pan in the oven — simple, effective, and ideal for new pans, including the IKEA Vardagen carbon steel pan. 📌 Method (step-by-step): Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F). Wash and thoroughly dry your carbon steel pan. Apply a very thin, even layer of high-smoke-point oil (grapeseed, flaxseed, canola). Place the pan upside down in the oven. Bake for 60 minutes. Turn the oven off and let the pan cool inside. 💡 Tip: Repeat this 2–3 times for a durable seasoning layer. A well-seasoned carbon steel skillet improves with age — the more you cook, the better it performs. 👍 Like the video if you want more cookware tutorials, 💬 comment which pan you season next, and 🔔 subscribe for more kitchen tips! 📩 Contact: [email protected]
