A fella sent me some artwork to spiff up the article. Cool!

And for the cast iron homage from the book "hanibal" he made this "silence of the pans":

Very good and covers everything you needed to know but were afraid to ask.... except.....
Using a cast iron skillet as a weapon... quite effective used properly... [waiting]
That was pretty good Paul! [cool]
Thanks for the info, Paul. I like using cast iron pans but the eggs always stick so then I give up & start using the cephalon non-stick pans - I know they are probably not good for us but drives me nuts when half of what I cooks sticks to the pan d*

Here's what I do with eggs cooked on cast iron-
Pour some oil (vegetable or whatever) in the pan, enough to cover the bottom and I also coat the sides. Put pan in oven @ about 250 or so degrees for about 1/2 hour. Wipe excess oil, and then use what you normally do. I use butter.
When I get the whole pan hot there is absolutely no sticking, and I can wipe the pan clean with just a dishrag in a few seconds afterwards. :)
Well, dug, I have to admit that technique would work every time: the way to never get eggs to stick is to never put eggs in the pan!
:)
(sorry, but you set me up for that one!)
Guess I omitted the last step. d*
It does work every time though, at least it has for me
Hot off the press. I uploaded this video about eight minutes ago. It shows a cast iron skillet fished out of the garbage, covered in gunk. The gunk is burned off and a new seasoning layer is put on.

Excellent information and well laid out video. Thanks
