Re-season Cast Iron with Compliant Oil?

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I first did a W30 a few years ago and am gearing up to start my second one in 3 days. I often cook on my cast iron pans, sometimes with coconut oil, sometimes with grape seed oil, sometimes with vegetable oil. Well I just looked closer on my veggie oil bottle and discovered it's actually 100% soybean oil! 

I want your advice: should I go through the trouble of washing it with soap to get the oil off and then re-seasoning it with non soybean oil, or should I just stop using the soybean oil and trust that the residue is negligible and will keep lessening over time?

I have not even started my Whole30 yet, so I may be mistaken, but from a scientific standpoint I wouldn't think you need to reseason your cast iron, considering that seasoning in this instance, means developing a polymerized layer on your cast iron pan.  You may, however, want to reseason your pan to use it to it's full potential.
