Flax oil...

[SMOKE FREAK]

In my little ol town I cant find flax...
This seems to be the most recommended oil for seasoning my pans...
What would be my next best choice....

Amazon? Can't help you on a different kind of oil. Do you have HyVee grocery stores down there? They have a health food section should have it. But I know what its like with small town grocery store's. It really can ruin a guys plan.

Crisco!

Olive oil. That's all I use on me CI. Canola works also...

I got Walmart and Dillons...Without driving 30+ miles...
Dillons has a small health/specialty section...No good...
Would rather not order it but will if I have to...
And the only lard I can get is a big ol bucket of the partially hydrogenated stuff...Tried frying in it a few times and didn't like it...I reckon for now Crisco will hafta do the trick...Always has before...

I tried EVOO once, as a suggestion from a friend.... ONCE!

Canola is what I used when I salvaged the old pans...Wasn't happy with the results...That's when folks kept saying Flax Flax Flax...

No EVOO, no peanut oil...don't ask!
Crisco!

Sorry man, I ain't no Crisco plastic lover. Been using EVOO or canola for many years, wipe it on while the pan is hot... what is the problem?

[Conumdrum]

Lard is available at any grocery store pretty much. And it's been used for over 100 years. Go with it!

When I did mine with EVOO, it never really absorbed into the CI, but left a sticky residue.... I dunno, maybe it was the process I used ..... Just didnt work that thyme

I kinda gave up after that I still have and use some, mostly for Oysters on the grill.
