I used to pour it into a glass jar. But these days I’m just using a paper towel or 3 after it dries and chuckin it in the bin.

    I’ve tried olive oil. Idk what it is, maybe user error, but those cures seem to be very delicate. Like the olives are all primadonna about touching such a base metal like iron.

    I don’t use lard with cooking. My beef these days is limited to pho and a bi-yearly burger, but my rationale was, what did grandma use? Why was she soaping hers up in the sink with impunity?

    Lard. And layers.

    I respect the baby it approach too, and vegans, if that is your way.

    Whatever works, it’s in.

      Pretty much the same rationale. WWGD. But I used shortening for my base coats only because that’s what I had on hand. Then I basically only cooked bacon, sausage, ham, and pork chops in them to build up the seasoning.
