If you decide that you’d like to start cooking using cast-iron skillet’s, drop me a line and let me know. I can let you know some recommendations on types to get. I will say it is better to get one that is pre-seasoned, although seasoning it again before you use it is good. We can talk more about that if you decide to get some. I just got mine for Christmas and I am hooked. They do take maintenance and work though, but the cooking that they produce is so worth it. I bought a cast-iron wok to cook Chinese dishes with as well and I am very impressed.
