Has anyone purchased/used a pre-seasoned cast iron pan? We had one and I didn't

really like it because the " pre-seasoning " started chipping off. Has anyone had

this same trouble? Any thoughts on where I can purchase unseasoned cast iron

pans/skillets?

The old cast iron pans tend to be best. Kathy Jo has some, otherwise check out

thrift stores and garage sales. Many of the new ones are junk. Food in them

tastes awful. Not sure what the finish is on them but ick.

Supposedly the best way to season them is to use flaxseed oil from the health

stores. You have to break open the little gelcaps.

Here is a link about the different oils and such:

However, I think if you just clean the crap out of it and keep it clean without

having to use harsh soap everytime and re-oil it when done cleaning, it would

probably last and look great.
