My wife bought me a cast iron skillet a while ago and is upset that I have not yet used it. I like to cook, but I have never really used cast iron. Any suggestions? Thanks!
cast iron is great once u get the hang of it..but hey if u want score brownies and make the wife happy..make her breakfast with this pan..omelette's are awesome..eggs bacon.. pancakes..anything u can cook in a regular fry pan ..(n sautéed onions wow)..just coat with butter, oil or spray pan 1st.. n cast iron can be rinsed n cleaned very easily..a good cast iron is often treated by owner..apply some oil ..not much ..after a few uses.. those who truly love their pans even put in oven , oiled thinly on low heat to treat it..if you into fishing..nothing is as good over a fire as fresh fish with butter in a cast ....just remember ..the pan once u heat it up..turn down the heat ..do not need to cook on high..enjoy

Introducing Lodge Logic and Pro Logic a brand new way to cook with cast iron.
The majority of Lodge cast iron we offer comes pre-seasoned, and is ready to use. At the plant an electrostatic spray has been evenly applied to all surfaces of your cookware, then baked-on at extremely high temperatures. Now you can use your cookware right out of the box, washing and caring for it as if you had seasoned it yourself.
Lodge Manufacturing's "Lodge Logic" amd "Pro Logic" pre-seasoned, ready to use cookware eliminates the time and effort of seasoning your new selection, and will look and preform better than home seasoning.
A new piece of seasoned cast iron cookware can be used right from the start. After washing the pan with warm water (no soap), dry thoroughly. Before cooking prepare the surface with a thin coat of melted shortening, or vegetable oil. After cooking, clean the utensil with hot water and a stiff brush. Never use a harsh detergent, as it can remove the seasoning. Towel dry thoroughly.
Store your cast iron cookware in a cool, dry place. Do not store lids on the cast iron pot or pan to allow air circulation.
What is seasoning?
Seasoning is preparing the cast iron cookware for use. There are two objectives in this process:
1. Coat the cookware to prevent rust; and 2. To create a natural, permanent non-stick cooking surface.
Seasoning is an easy, but very important first step when using cast iron. Unlike synthetically coated cookware, cast iron can be seasoned, re-seasoned, and its cooking surface restored. When you season a cast iron utensil, you are preventing rust and providing the cookware with a natural, permanent non-stick surface. Remember: Seasoning takes time and repeated use before a pan develops the shiny, black surface like your grandmother’s cast iron cookware. A black, shiny skillet is a well-seasoned skillet.
How do I season
1. Wash utensil in hot, soapy water. Use soap this time only. Rinse utensil and dry completely. Discoloration on towel is normal. 2. Apply a thin, even coating of melted shortening (Crisco, Wesson, etc.; do not use butter or butter flavored shortening) to the utensil with a soft cloth or paper towel. Apply inside and outside (NOTE: If your utensil has a lid, make sure you season it as well.) 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place utensil on top shelf of oven, upside down. Place aluminum foil on a baking sheet and put on bottom shelf of oven to catch any drippings. Bake in oven for one hour, then turn oven off and let utensil remain in the oven until cool. 4. To clean utensil after use, use boiling water and a plastic scrub bun or brush. Do not use soap, unless you are going to repeat the seasoning process. Do not put in dishwasher. 5. Always wash immediately after use, while still hot. 6. After washing utensil, dry thoroughly, then spray lightly with vegetable oil, (Pam, for example), wipe with a paper towel, and store. Never store utensil with lid on. (Cast iron needs air circulation.) 7. Do not use utensil as a food storage vessel. 8. To remove heavy food or grease build-up, scour with steel wool, SOS pad, etc., then re-season. 9. Deep fry in Dutch ovens at least six times prior to cooking beans of any kind. Re-season utensil after cooking acidic foods, such as beans or tomatoes. 10. Follow these simple steps and your Lodge Cast Iron Cookware can last a lifetime.
After cooking, clean the utensil with hot water and a stiff brush. Never use a harsh detergent, as it can remove the seasoning. Towel dry thoroughly.
That could be annoying to get calls like that. How about putting yourself in to “do not call registry”, It can keep some callers out, may be not all. Pam best Cookware guide´s last blog ..Lodge Color Enamel Cast Iron 10 inch Square Grill Pan, Island Spice Red

How do I season
1. Wash utensil in hot, soapy water. Use soap this time only. Rinse utensil and dry completely. Discoloration on towel is normal.
2. Apply a thin, even coating of melted shortening (Crisco, Wesson, etc.; do not use butter or butter flavored shortening) to the utensil with a soft cloth or paper towel. Apply inside and outside (NOTE: If your utensil has a lid, make sure you season it as well.)
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place utensil on top shelf of oven, upside down. Place aluminum foil on a baking sheet and put on bottom shelf of oven to catch any drippings. Bake in oven for one hour, then turn oven off and let utensil remain in the oven until cool.
4. To clean utensil after use, use boiling water and a plastic scrub bun or brush. Do not use soap, unless you are going to repeat the seasoning process. Do not put in dishwasher.
5. Always wash immediately after use, while still hot.
6. After washing utensil, dry thoroughly, then spray lightly with
vegetable oil, (Pam, for example), wipe with a paper towel, and store. Never store utensil with lid on. (Cast iron needs air circulation.)
7. Do not use utensil as a food storage vessel.
8. To remove heavy food or grease build-up, scour with steel wool, SOS pad, etc., then re-season.
9. Deep fry in Dutch ovens at least six times prior to cooking beans of any kind. Re-season utensil after cooking acidic foods, such as beans or tomatoes.
10. Follow these simple steps and your Lodge Cast Iron Cookware can last a lifetime.
After cooking, clean the utensil with hot water and a stiff brush. Never use a harsh detergent, as it can remove the seasoning. Towel dry thoroughly.
That could be annoying to get calls like that. How about putting yourself in to “do not call registry”, It can keep some callers out, may be not all. Pam best Cookware guide´s last blog ..Lodge Color Enamel Cast Iron 10 inch Square Grill Pan, Island Spice Red
