Cast Iron pan seasoning Question
I have a new in box Lodge skillet that was sent from Lodge as a replacement to one I previously bought and had problems with. I had done exactly as the Lodge instructions said .. never used soap ...

my cast iron skillets are old and have been used a lot over the years.
when I'm through cooking whatever in them, I pour off any excess grease and sit the skillet in the sink while still hot, and fill it with HOT water. Then when the water cools off a bit, I rinse and scrub with plastic scrubber, if necessary,
and then wipe dry with paper towels and spray a light squirt of PAM or any brand oil, then wipe that all over the cooking surface and then put a fresh paper towel in the skillet and store away as usual. I wouldn't call my skillets totally stick-free, but mostly they are and it does depend on how hot I get them.
