When you grease the cookware how do you store it to keep the grease from becoming rancid?

I just wipe any excess out with a paper towel before I store it, but if you want to do more you could also put it on a burner or in the oven and "cook" the fat into the pan before storing. I haven't experienced any rancidity in my pans with just my wipe-out method.

I don't use grease, I use cannola oil. It doesn't go rancid as far as I know. Plus I use my pans frequently so they are also washed and the oil reapplied often.

I rub it down with olive oil and bake it in at a low heat for half hour or more. I also store my pieces in the oven so if room permits, they bake along with what ever else is in the oven. I haven't noticed anything going bad, but I do use mine quiet often so the heat will kill anything.

It doesn't take very much at all, just a light spray or a touch of cooking oil on a paper towel and rub it around. If you stack another pan on top just put a paper towel inbetween to protect it. It sounds like you were using way too much

Just enough oil to coat the pan. Wipe away any excess with clean paper towel. If storing for extended period, then be sure to bake oil into the pan before storing. I use a clean dish towel in between each nested pan. I too have never had a rancidity problem when using minute amounts of oil. I use either olive oil, bacon fat or coconut oil, whatever is handy at the moment to coat my pans. I always use bacon fat if I have to reseason pan for any reason.

To avoid the rancidity, try a more common method by simply oiling with your choice after each use ( I like to use olive or vegetable personally). This will maintain the seasoning of the cast iron pots post use and lock in the quality flavor in your cooking the more you use it.

After I wash the cookware I wipe it down with a paper towel that has a drop of oil. I am not aware of any rancid odor or any problems, we have always treated our cast iron this way. I imagine that when it is next used the high temperatures would kill off any bacteria that might be there. If you find out differently please let us know.

It helps if you bake the cookware after oiling it. You should not use too much oil, just enough to put a thin coat on it & not run.

you just add a LITTLE vegetable oil to it and use a paper towel to make sure the bottom & sides are coated - then put it in the oven (I usually put my oven on 250) for a couple of hours - open side down. If you have used just a little oil and wiped it with the paper towel, there isn't enough to become rancid.

I use a jar and store the unit with the sponge 'up' underneath my cabinet - or I set it in my disposal in the sink with the sponge sticking out (not the ideal solution).

No grease. Just flip the pan over and tap it out. The hard part is trying not to burn yourself and getting the handle out of the way.

I think it might. Our old farmhouse kitchen is not heated so we store it on the back of the stove. If you are keeping it in the fridge, allow the grease to cool a bit before you pour it in, just to be safe.

Unopened it stores in the pantry. Opened I put it in the refrigerator, but I have a grease pot next to my stove that gets a lot of use. Grease stores at room temp a pretty long time even opened.

I use green cleaner products, (Go Green), leave for some minutes and then clean with a cotton rag, put a lot of newspaper under to catch the fallen grease, rinse with water and burn a charcoal to burn any leftover.

I think you just burn it off. I know you don't put it in the dishwasher. We oil is before every use.

you should keep it refrigerated all the time. It will turn rancid if you leave it at room temp.

If its something stuck on I will scrub with a scouring pad or heat it up with some water in it and it'll come off. Then once dry oil it up and I store it in my stove.

I use solid oils and leave in at all times. About once a year, or if I cook fish, I strain the grease and put it back after I have cleaned the unit.

Clean ups a piece of cake. Just use a wet towel while it's still hot will break up the stuck on grease. Yes there's a drop tray.

There is a small slide-out drawer for drippings, but it rarely gets full of drippings. They seem to burn off on the stainless heat reflector that covers the burners. It is the kind of grill that gets hot enough that you can sear meats before setting it up for cooking long and slow. I also store a canister of gas and a grill cleaner for storage.

There is a small cup on the base of the unit for grease. The cooking surface (grill grate) and reflective pan can be removed. I would NOT recommend this grill. The grate sits directly on the coils. Think there MUST be some supports for the grill missing but just haven't had time to purse it.

There is a small drip pan at the end of the grill it catches all the grease. Easy to use.

When still hot, you can pour the grease out; once it hardens, you can wipe it out with paper towel. I run mine through the dishwasher, but washing by hand in hot soapy water should work just fine. We use ours 2-3 times a week. I love it & am amazed how much grease comes out of 6 slices of bacon.

you have to season pans first heat a little then pour a little oil in pan wipe off with paper towel should do this every so often to keep pans from sticking around every 10 use or so

The simple rule on any oil or grease product, if it has an unusual odor don't use it. Store in a cool dry place and it lasts a very long time, better yet if the refrigerator.
