Cast iron is inherently porous, that's what you fill up with the
seasoned oil. When seasoned, it will be pretty smooth.
If you have large lumps or holes, that's a problem.

When I bought my cast iron skillet several years back I noticed that the
surface was quite uneven, not flat and smooth like you would expect. After
using it seems pretty flat but I wondered if it would have been better if
the frying surface was buffed down to make it flatter before seasoning. A
Thanks, Cassidy!
The link was helpful. The skillet I seasoned yesterday turned out sticky and
the link u gave told me why, too much lard. So now I'm doing the smaller
skillet with less lard. Practice makes perfect.
Thank both u and Lola for all the input!
Appreciatively,

Gail,
I think that is a good idea... seems I saw that somewhere also... it
just allows the oil to drip onto your baking sheet or foil lined rack.
The thing about iron skillets is you can't really mess up ... unless you
wash with soap or leave it sitting in water. and IF you do mess up -

Hi, Gail... when you are seasoning the skillet, the low temp (200 - 250)
doesn't seem to
generate enough heat to make the Crisco
there should be instructions on the iron skillet when you purchase it.
You just coat it with crisco or coconut oil . inside and outside - .be
sure to set it on a baking pan when you put in the oven so no drips on
your oven.. I seasoned mine at a higher temperature... seems like

Seasoned cast iron. Best non-stick ever if you take care of it (like
not washing the seasoning off).

I was going to mention cast iron, but I don't own one now. I do own a
ceramic 12" from Mercola, but don't use it for eggs. For bacon and eggs,
or sausage and eggs, I use a Paderno pan. It is advertised as ceramic
inside an aluminum casting. Very light compared to full ceramic.
