When my Mom and Dad's house burnt down, the only items that survived was my Grandma's cast iron skillets that was handed down to my Mom and now to me ☺
It took some time to bring them back to perfectly seasoned, but I use the all the time now 👍

Brother you and Shannon are bringing anyone who watches your videos a nice break from all the worries this virus has brought the world .. thank you ..

I come to tears every time I see you thanking us, Veterans. It is ONLY by God’s grace that I was able to serve for 20 years while being a single Mom. GLORY TO GOD!!!

I was watching this with my 3 year old son and he pointed at the TV and said "that's my friend!" 🥺❤️ You've got a new subscriber. Thank you for being a "friend."

Hi, Chris from Germany here. I bought a used cast iron pan made in Finland and with the help of your videos I removed the old patina and seasoned the pan again. The result is wonderful. Many thanks for your great videos and best wishes from Hamburg, Germany! 😊

You are the first and probably the only one to tell me how a newly seasoned skillet is supposed to look like. I mean, they are all showing us the process of seasoning and at the end they cook some eggs in an annoyingly black, shiny, perfect piece of cast iron! This made me think I had a problem with my pieces, but now I know that is not the case. And it's soo true that deep frying is the thing building up that nice, shiny finish! Thank you. Stay safe!

We're a medically retired military family of 7 struggling since our house burned down. We just recently started wanting to get into cast iron and I truly appreciate all these videos as I'm his full-time caregiver and a mother to 5 and this is helping give me a confidence boost that I can take care of cast iron.

I absolutely adore you! Your recipes and cast iron tutorials are fantastic and spot on! I share them regularly. You teach what my grand and great-grand parents taught me. The things as simple as cast iron care that I've passed on also. BUT I also have to say that you really grab my heart when you praise the active duty military personnel and Veterans! I'm a Marine Corps Aircraft Firefighter Veteran. I'm thankful for Americans like you, those that are not only worthy of our service, but that we are proud to sign our name on THAT line for. Americans like you are why we do what we do...thank YOU.

I found a way to clean one when I was a kid, Old cast iron pot was rusty and we were on a camping trip, mix moist sand, and firewood ashes together and scrub then pack them in it for a little while, then go at it again until it is clean. The sand works as a scrub and the Ash provides a little bit of old lye that will also help to clean it. Then have fun seasoning it after washing it. May not be the best but it worked.

My nephew would have loved this. As I mentioned to you on your Big Mac video he just passed away a few days ago, he was studying to be a chef and loved him some cast iron. Thanks for sharing. God Bless you all~ Lisa

This is a perfect thing to do if you're stuck in the house because of the Corona Virus. Thank you, and stay safe!

From Canada...thank you Mr. Rollins. I enjoy your videos and love the western theme chuck wagon etc. I am a senior now of course and grew up in normal times and a s a boy learned how to appreciate the old folks and the cooking of my stay at home mom and their wisdom of the men back in the 60's. I never knew it at the time but there were WWII veterans in the neighbourhood and one was my uncle. These were good men and you remind me of them..God bless and thanks!

Kent is my go-to guy for just about everything when it comes to outdoors cooking. I have both cookbooks and bought one for my son this Christmas for his camper. We both tip our hats to Kent and Shannon for developing recipes that reflect down-home traditional values and goodness. Hope I have the opportunity to meet Mr. Rollins some day.

I remember dad throwing the old 12 inch skillet in the wood stove to clean it. The only thing was he burn hedge and it was so hot it warped the bottom of the pan. We used it anyway. I consider it a western wok. Good stuff Ken and Shan.

[patriciablackmon]

We can feel it you r so realistic on everything u do. Thank u for your service and to all the veterans whom served our beautiful and unique country!

Came across some old wagner skillets given to me from my old hunting partner. Best Christmas gift ever. After cleaning and reseasoning, these pans make the best food ever. Just made swiss elk steaks with sauted oinons and asparagus. I am definitely sharing your information with everyone I hunt with.

[margaretharris]

Kent, I have to say that I LOVE your videos and a big thank you to Shannon for producing them! Your information on cast iron is AWESOME! Don’t stop making your videos. You have so much to teach all of us!
