Hello, I'm a college student and have started cooking for myself for the first time.
Today I used a Lodge Logic cast iron skillet to fry a piece of chicken. I burnt a piece of the chicken but that wasn't really a problem. As I was cleaning the skillet after (the instructions say not to use soap), I noticed there were some marks on the skillet and running my finger across it produced some black residue. Is this just from the chicken or is the cast iron rubbing off?
Also, I used a Calphalon turner to turn the chicken in the pan. Now I've noticed that the tip of the Calphalon has been burnt and black residue scratches off. Did I do something wrong? Is it safe to use the turner anymore?
Thanks for the help.
