New (old) cast iron. When my grandma passed, I got her cast iron. This one is a vintage Griswold. It's very clean, just gonna require a tiny bit of cleanup, but no rust and smooth as a baby's butt.

I just finished up eating dinner...a thick porterhouse that I baked on my cast iron skillet.

From a recent edition of Cooks Illustrated (please pardon any typos - I had to re-type it from the magazine):

Bumping 'cause if I don't go to jail first, I'm going to need this. Soon-to-be ex-Mrs. FMB! washed my favorite cast iron skillet. Just a little soap in the sponge totally wrecked my 15-years of seasoning.

Damn. Sleep on it before you decide whether or not to kill her, man. Sorry to hear about it.

When you get it back in shape, hook us up with some quesadillas, would you?

FMB.

Summarize this thread and how I should go about seasoning my new bitch!

If you bought it new, didn't it come pre-seasoned?

It says it did but I think this thread stated to season it yourself anyway before using.

It's why I need FMB in here! :-)

Post 14 in this thread. My wife killed my seasoning on my favorite pan, staring over and that's what I've been doing.

Would recommend washing with soap and water first.

I feel your pain. Had house guests while we went out of town, and I forgot to hide the cast iron. Came home and they are looking like shit. Found one in the dish drainer. Looks like it has been washed. Recovery under way.

I've got three old Griswolds I got when my grandmother passed. I love those pans. The only thing that would make the largest better is if it was a 12-inch (it's only 10"). But it's beautifully seasoned.

Wife ended up buying a 12" cast iron today. Good choice I think

FMB, how does this raise my socioeconomic status?
