I literally mean ever. Skillets, pots, corn bread pans, casserole pan, etc. Cast iron is normal to us South Louisianan's...aka Coonass folk.

Just an added bonus to cooking with cast iron. My question then is what does a non stick pan impart into you food.

I'm afraid it's cancer that non stick pan coating imparts to us.

I would like to know the number for how these diseases have changed after the non stick pans started coming out.

Aluminum is a huge contributor to Alzheimer's. Teflon leaches cancer causing chemicals into the food.

If you want an outstanding nonstick pan and don't have cast iron, I recommend Orgreenic Ware. It's ceramic coated nonstick pans with no chemicals.

Love the vid !

Been thinking. Lodge cast iron is pretty rough from the factory. Even with a good seasoning the bottom of the pan is bumpy from the sand mould they use.

What about sanding the bottom of the pan smooth, then go through the cleaning and seasoning process?
Good idea? Bad idea??

Finer grit sandpaper would probably be better than coarser grit, but I think a pumice stone would work even better.

Over time it will smooth out with use I would think any way.

Great, thanks JC! I have absolutely fallen in love with cast iron. We even have a little mini cast iron fry pan I picked up at a garage sale we take hunting with us now. It's pretty heavy in backpacking terms, but well worth it, and it's not too heavy that it has to be left behind. I'd never go back to anything else.

Very good info JC Very well done. Anybody looking to start new or re-season would be wise to view both.

The Size of your Success can be Measured by the Strength of your Desire !!!

There is a difference between INTEREST and COMMITMENT.
When you are INTERESTED in something you do it only when it is CONVIENIENT.
When you are COMMITED to something you ACCEPT NO EXCUSES and PRODUCE ONLY RESULTS.

I will meet you on your Turf...But it will be on My TERMS!!!
