@ytmalveo I just wanted to show others that have been thinking of getting into cast iron cooking some basic steps/tips. Eggs were just something fast and easy to show. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

when u r done using it and uve cleaned it out with the water u wanna take a paper towel and wipe out as much of the water as possible and then take a paper towel and put it over the mouth of the oil and get a lil bit and rub down the whole pan, outside and everything, other wise it will rust while its sitting, if u have any questions u can message me, i use it daily and i learned how to use it while camping with boyscouts

@JTWoof Yea for me olive oil is the best... I made cornbread in my dutch oven tonight and it came out pretty good. It burned a little bit in the middle. I cooked it on the stove but I used an extra burner grate to raise it up off the flame. Thanks for all the comments and for watching. Its like I always say. Lets all learn from each other.

Don't start with eggs until you properly season the iron?

[69notnow]

Season it in the oven (with a catch pan) several times.

It's all over to

he tup

@krazzeekaren I know how to make them over easy "dippy egg" but I used these for on a sandwich. I can cook me some eggz... LOL... I break them open with one hand. Thanks for watching. It's like I always say. Let's all learn from each other. Joe Tactical

@Bigoldjeff1956 "dropping bombs"....that's sooo funny! I was thinking the same thing when he was crackin the eggs. I suppose if you like em over hard he's got it down but if you like dippy eggs...not so much lol

your pan needs to be better seasoned, clean surface if not smooth or even, dry with cloth then heat pan for several minutes coat the inside of the pan with bacon grease or a high heat oil like coconut oil, or lard, not olive oil place in an oven for about an hour, for the first seasoning, your may need to repeat the process but once the pan is properly seasoned, I've done this with my cast iron and eggs just slide all over the pan, and get a steal spatula, no need for plastic with cast iron.

And when it comes to cleaning out food that's stuck, I just let the pan cool off for a few minutes, then I pour some very hot water from the faucet in the pan and let it sit for a few more minutes, then take a steel scrubber and GENTLY run it over the pan. It doesn't scrape off any of the seasoning and gets out whatever's stuck. But again, that's just how I do it. I know some people treat cast iron like a religion with specific instructions, but I don't. I just do what I"ve found to work.

[jsumudio]

Haven't seen if you've posted anything since this, but I was glad to hear you'll be using steel utensils. They work much better with cast iron in my experience. I'm no expert either, but for me, the most sure-fire way to avoid food like eggs sticking is to use a saturated fat like butter instead of olive oil. Obviously, I don't want to use butter too often for health reasons. Finally, since iron retains heat so better than other types of pans, I never use more than medium heat.

When you use your cast iron for the first time, use soap and water. Then season it by putting a thin coating of Crisco. Open the windows, and bake the skillet on 350-400 in the oven for about an hour. Let it cool. Next time, put a thin coating of Crisco on the pan, before you cook anything then put in your oil or butter to saute'. THE REAL TRICK is to after cooking, clean the pan without soap, remove all remaining grit, apply Crisco, heat the pan and let cool EACH TIME after you cook.
