Hi There,
I have just purchased a new de BUYER carbon steel frying pan and the seasoning instructions state:
“Seasoning: preparing your frying pan.
Put some potato peelings in your pan, cover with water and boil for 15 minutes. Next, throw away the peelings and rinse the frying pan with very hot water, wipe it and heat a little oil in the pan.”
Does anyone know what the purpose or reason of boiling potato peelings is?? I have purchased other makes of carbon steel frying pans and have never been instructed to boil potato peelings to season the pan. I checked the web site and it has a video showing the boiling of the potato peelings!!
Thanks for any ideas!!
