I have been using cast iron extensively for about 10 years. While I know the ins and outs of cast iron, there have been some issues with making a good seasoning. Especially on Lodge cast iron and factory finish/seasoning which has a fairly rough finish. I've tried different methods with varying results (yes, even the flaxseed that eventually came off). Eventually I started sanding the texture which made the break-in process a lot easier. I recently added a Dutch Oven and a couple of CI bread pans and decided to try Crisby this time rather than go through the tedious grinding process. Result? Visually, I love the deep black that Crisby gives. A promising start. Then I did an egg test - and didn't fry the egg, which is easily passable with enough oil. My favorite test is scrambled eggs with a little olive oil (uncomfortable in a Dutch Oven, but curiosity got the better of me), and the crunchy-flavored cast iron passed with flying colors. Nothing is stuck! Even with texture, it worked just as well as my polished pieces. I use no flour, butter, cooking spray, NOTHING in my loaf pans and the loaves fall out instantly. I now use it to season all my cast irons after washing and drying. It's quite expensive, but in the long run it will save me time and nerves. I recommend using the recommended prefix and reading their website. There is a lot of useful information out there about cast iron myths such as pre-aging, soap and smoke point. UPDATE: Yes, it's great. I've seasoned a few more brand new broths (one of which is a fillet grill pan) and they all work like a well-seasoned pan with such minimal effort. I've sanded parts of houses that are still that ugly mottled brown color (Crisby helps!), but from now on I like to go through the house pre-treatment and throw on a few coats of Crisby. It completely changed my mind on how to properly season a pan.
