Seasoned new CI pan - now it's sticky

[VitaWright]

I feel I should clarify my statement. I use oil all the time in my cast iron. For seasoning I would only use shortning but that's just me. I feel like oil makes it sticky but I suppose that could also be if you use too much.

After all that let me just say I agree with everyone!!

Yes cook bacon in it. You can not screw up CI by cooking bacon. It will only make it better.

And you cannot screw up the bacon, either

i'd scrub your pan with kosher salt & wipe with paper towels.
