Iron Skillets

I hate non-stick cookware. Hate, hate, hate it. I’ve inherited a couple of nice iron skillets from my mom (three, if you count the cute little pie wedge cornbread skillet). If they are seasoned well, and you are careful, iron is virtually non-stick.

I’m not always careful, though. Sometimes I do stupid things, like add tomato sauce to my just sauteed veggies, while they are still in the pan. Oops. All is not lost, though! Reseasoning an iron skillet is easy peasy. One of my favorite methods is to make pancakes. No, seriously. The first pancake may turn out a little funky, but the rest should be fine, and by the time you have made 3-4 of them, you will have a beautifully reseasoned skillet. And pancakes. Mmmm.
