Before we were married, the boy and I bought what we thought was a decently sized cast-iron skillet. For the first couple months, we used it with some success and really enjoyed it. Then one day after washing it I put it on a low burner to dry, only to forget and leave it there for about 6 hours. Needless to say, I ruined the seasoning in the center of the skillet. Ever since we’ve had no luck using it. Everything stuck like glue to the pan, especially around the center.
Well, after a good year and a half of frying things and greasing the pan to bake it upside down, I am happy to say that I think I finally have. This morning I made french toast and it didn’t stick!
