Anyone else notice that their seasoning does better (aka increases more) when baking or roasting as opposed to frying? I guess it’s why we season in the oven generally but I feel like I hear people saying “just cook with it” but never differentiating between in the oven and on the stove.
The heating is more even inside an oven, as is the time spent at a temperature unlikely to burn anything, so it makes sense that this would better develop an even seasoning. That being said, just cook with it.
As long as I cook things at non-burning temperatures then the layers build up nicely. I don’t pay attention enough to notice a difference between baking and frying.
Fair enough, yeah. I only noticed because I have a baking sheet that I only use in the oven, and frying pans that I basically only use on the stove. So I can see the difference pretty clearly.
