Cast Iron Question
I have a preseasoned five quart Lodge cast iron dutch oven.
I had never tried it in the oven until the other day.
I tried to make a bread recipe in it that required it to be set on 450 degrees.
After 10 min at this temp the cast iron started smoking like crazy.
Was it because it had been seasoned with vegetable oil and it has a lower smoke point? I assumed being preseasoned it was ok for the oven and the only reason I could think of was the veg oil.
If it was the veg oil what can I do? I read about some oils with higher smoke points but where the pan has already been seasoned with veg oil will it do me any good to switch?
