I've found a few threads on the subject but can't quite figure out the correct process. I'd like to 'blacken' our Vig. I don't want to paint it and would prefer to go 'natural.' So, how does one go about it?
Do I apply the Crisco to a cold stove, then fire it up? Or, start rubbing it into a warm OR hot stove?
Is it necessary to get the stove temp up super high or will, say 450 degrees or so work.
Would it be better to apply a very thin layer at a time? Rub in in good, wipe off the excess, let that cook in, then add another layer?
I'd like to avoid a major smoking event, if possible. I'm thinking a powerful fan sitting near the stove, aimed at the nearest window, with a box fan in the window venting to the outside, should help keep the smoke to a minimum.
Any suggests, advice, or warnings will be appreciated.
Looking forward to my first burn of the season this weekend!
