Oh, I must say, THANK YOU GUYS for starting this thread! I had my grandmother's cast iron skillet tucked in the back of the cabnet before this thread, and you inspired me to bring it out. Now I cook EVERYTHING in it, and LOVE it- it's got a permanent home on the stove now. Everything tastes better, it takes all of five seconds to heat up.... it cleans easier than my other pans (which I put in the dishwasher)... the only thing I don't make in it are omlettes!
Plus, using this pan I feel connected to my grandmother, who I never knew. It's a little bit of family history every time I make dinner... and I would have never pulled it out of the cabnet if it wasn't for y'all! Thank you!
