Review on 🐺 Lodge Wildlife Series 6.5" Cast Iron Skillet with Wolf Scene - Black: Ultimate Rustic Cooking Essential! by Tom Plowman

This is a good little pan when you just need to sauté veggies, boil an egg or fry bacon. I originally bought this thinking it might be big enough to roast a chicken breast. I was wrong, but sooner or later I found another use for it. It's pre-aged, but as I age new cast iron I always re-age. As with any cast iron, simply clean (preferably while the iron is still hot), rinse, dry with paper towels or heat on stove and brush with oil/fat. Its natural non-stick properties improve over time. Cast iron isn't a newfangled kitchen tool, it's a 2000 year old survival tool. If you clean your iron this way, you are guaranteed not to see any rust. To reseason for ANY reason, take coarse sea salt and rub it into the pan with the cut end of the potato until all the old oil/spice and/or possible rust is broken down to bare iron. Brush with olive oil and bake at 230°C for 45 minutes. Allow to cool and brush a fresh layer of oil over it. All in all, if you just need to cook something small like a fried egg, this is the tool for the job. Lodge is a brand I trust.
