I started seasoning my second 12" cast iron skillet last night with the Cook's Illustrated method of flaxseed oil and a very hot oven for an hour. I did it once last night and once this morning. I just oiled it down and cranked up the oven for round #3. You can already see the polymerized oil layer starting to build up. I should be able to get #4 and #5 done tomorrow and then the pan should be good to go.
Then I can start working on seasoning my new 10" skillet.

That reminds me of a song (but then, what doesn’t?)

My mother always used cast iron frying pans and food would never stick! She had skillets that were probably over 50 years old. They are wonderful, for making eggs or browning meats. I even used to put mine in the oven, to make a roast.

@NJChicaa Mom had two 12 inch iron pans, one 10 inch, and a pancake griddle. A great memory from my years, growing up! A pot-bellied wood stove in the living room, with an old tea-kettle sitting on top. Those were beautiful days:)
