So is a stockpot full of anything, you just don't go flipping it around like a "show chef".

Trying to use commercial kitchen techniques (in terms of physical manipulation of things) in a home kitchen is almost always a waste.

Happy with my 12" Tefal steel pan for that. A fraction of the weight of the same Lodge pan.
Did notice that Lodge has developed a new carbon steel seasoned pan that would be good. Price though
brings it to high though.

Going to buy this one though, price is better then other I saw.

Bid4Tuna, that is the best info I have ever read or seen on Cast Iron cooking. Thanks for posting it.

I learned by the hard way that you must pre-heat the cast iron (and those stainless steel skillets) before you put the food in. So pay close attention to that in the video. When I go to use either skillet (I like the stainless steel with the thick heavy bottoms just as well) I put in just a little butter and turn on the heat. When I see the butter just starting to get brown I take the skillet off the heat and let it cool just a little bit. Then I put it back on and can fry an egg at about a quarter turn of the knob on the stove. The egg comes out without sticking. I don't know if that is the best way but that is what I discovered by playing around.


Race you to the Mucky Duck!

I flick water on it while heating, when it gets to the point it immediately sizzles away, it's ready. Or I use a laser thermometer, they're dirt cheap now. When it gets about 350 or more I figure it's good to go, depending on what I'm making.
Good video. The seasoning info she got from that blog I posted, which has become pretty much the standard.

IMO, you don't have to follow up cleaning with a layer of oil if you use it often. If you go a couple of weeks between uses, you may want to. If you use it a few times a week there's no need.
