Great looking cooks this weekend everyone. We hosted a few families from church over the weekend and I got to break in that commercial range. I had my phone synced up to the TV outside to stream the Chiefs game so I didn’t get any pictures, unfortunately but we fried up 36 home-made eggrolls on the range. I really enjoyed the oven space for keeping them warm as I could only fit about 6 in my fryer at a time without crowding. If you’ve never made homemade eggrolls, they are super easy and always a crowd pleaser.

contrary to what most will say, I’ve found olive oil to work fine. I like olive oil or avocado with avocado being the preference. Light coats and long periods in the oven are your friend. Agree with the others, too hot and short and you will get an orange peal texture, if you get a tacky texture, it wasn’t hot enough and/or didn’t go long enough also using too much oil/coat can lead to this. Thin coats, I like 4 or 5 before I start cooking with it usually. Cook temp will vary depending on smoke point. Avocado can run hotter than olive oil in the oven.
After cooking, wiping it out with some things works well, for stuck on stuff I heat the iron pretty dang hot and get my sink water as hot as it will go, you can remove it using the steam of the hot iron and hot water, similar as you would when removing the fond of a pan and incorporating it into a sauce. If it is really stuck on there, a dry pan and salt will help you scrub it off. I always warm my irons back up on the stove over medium heat until the top of the rim is hot to the touch on the back of my hand/finger after cleaning it. It is only at that point in which I put a thin coat of oil back on the iron for storage. Let cool to room temp before storing and if there is any excessive oil you can wipe it at that point. The pores in the iron open up when you heat the iron so you always want to oil the iron when it is hot, it wont take the oil as well if at room temp for storage. At least that what I’ve come to understand and following that method has kept my irons in very good shape.
