Works great for eggs (and more)...
For those of you who have difficulty frying eggs on a cast iron skillet... the trick is to keep the heat low. I put the burner setting at 2, let it preheat, and add about a teaspoon of bacon grease or more. When it melts add your egg/s. I cooked this egg (see photos) today and it was perfect.
Though it says the 10" Lodge Cast Iron Skillet comes pre-seasoned, you still need to season it a couple of times before use. I rub a generous amount of Crisco on bottom and sides, put it in a 350 deg oven for an hour, remove and wipe away excess oil. I will probably do this periodically.
Yes you can wash the skillet with soap and water after each use: wash, rinse, set on a burner, turn heat up fairly hot and let it dry thoroughly, then apply a little more Crisco to bottom and sides. Store.
