I have never used a cast iron skillet but I remember my grandmother telling me how long it took hers to become "really usable." I never could figure that one out. Now I'm thinking I should ask my grandfather if he stil has hers - would probably be much better than getting a new one and starting over!Andrea @ SoOverDebthttp://www.sooverdebt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383015803594888116.post-39724551831826434492012-01-04T18:41:33.974-05:002012-01-04T18:41:33.974-05:00Yes you really have to burn the fat into the surfa...Yes you really have to burn the fat into the surface of the metal, as you do with a wok or omlette pan as well!

If yours is new and comes pre-seasoned (the Lodge ones generally do) you don't really need to worry about seasoning before you use it. It takes years to build up a really good seasoning regardless of pre-seasoning. There are some great cast iron cooking blogs out there that helped me figure out how to use my skillet.Penny Pinching Professionalhttp://pennypinchingprofessional.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383015803594888116.post-65542758680174788642012-01-04T10:26:46.487-05:002012-01-04T10:26:46.487-05:00Thanks for breaking this down so easily.
