So annoyed- any cast iron savvy old timey mama types around?

If food is stuck in it, put plain water in it and boil the food loose. Wipe it dry and let it air dry for an hour or so, then oil and heat in an oven at around 275. It may take a few times but then it should season. Remember that tomato product don't work in seasoned iron. If all efforts fail then do wht my Mom said, make a flower pot out of it.

I am only 38...but I would never stray from my Griswolds...I scour local antique stores and buy them. They come in all shapes and sizes and once I season them...they are shear perfection.
