Fer cryin out loud my wife used it to boil water on the woodstove yesterday while the power was out. The left it on the stove (not lit) overnight... When I got to it this morning it had a coating of rust. The seasoning it'd gained wasn't anywhere near enough. Had to scrub it with soap to get the rust off.
Why not use a pot to boil water I asked, "I thought you wanted this to get used so it would break in." Oh well, back to square one, again... -Curt Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 16:52:30 -0500 From: "LT Don" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Harbor Freighter To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Don't let soap touch that thing and it will last you for years. I'm still using a cast iron dutch oven that I bought in the late 70s or early 80s at a garage sale. It is my favorite method of cooking almost anything I make.

Took me a few years but they're real good now. I don't remember if I sanded the pans but now that you mention it I might hit this with a little sandpaper... Interestingly when cooking the taco meat sticking wasn't a problem at all. I was real surprised although I did it exactly right, got the pan hot and then added the oil, turned down the heat and kept the meat moving... -Curt Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 18:13:14 -0500 From: Mitch Haley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Harbor Freighter To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Curt Raymond wrote: > > Interestingly cooking taco meat seems to be the fastest way to season cast iron. I once bought a cheap piece of cast iron, couldn't season it enough to make it stop sticking. Showed it to my mother, who pointed out that it was still rough as cast, not milled smooth like every piece of iron in her collection. So, either I attack it with auto body tools or I find a real pancake griddle (Wearever, Regal, etc) at a garage sale for less than I paid for my unfinished POS griddle.
