I have some questions using cast iron. Up until a few weeks ago I have never used a cast iron skillet. I grew up in a house that never used cast iron, so my knowledge on it is extremely limited.
After watching shows and reading about how wonderful cast iron is, I decided to get a skillet and give it a try. Thanks to Alton I know the basic care for cast iron but the question I have is the seasoning I am putting on the skillet always burns off the bottom of the skillet when I use it. After use I coat it with a little vegitable oil. Is that ok?
The second question I have is, is there any tricks or tips to using it? I have made a terrific sirloin steak in it and that went well, but my attempt to make eggs in it wasn't exactly the result I was hoping for. I am sure it just takes a little getting used to but any advise I can get along the way would be great.
Thanks.
