The article relays a humorous story about a father's impulsive purchase of a large cast iron pan and his misguided attempt to season it. Instead of following traditional methods, he combined every herb, spice, and condiment available, resulting in a pungent concoction that filled the house with an unpleasant smell. The father believed that the cast iron would magically retain and apply these flavors in future cooking, highlighting both his whimsical character and perhaps a common misconception about cast iron cookware.
My dad got a new cast iron pan. It was massive and he bought it impulsively at the hardware store for dirt cheap.
How he went about it was to pour in all of every herb and spice in the house, a whole container of salt, and various condiments...The smell was awful.
He seemed to be under the impression that cast iron somehow stored all spices and knew which ones to apply to your food automatically when cooking.
