You made me laugh. The world’s most mediocre cook was a classic! The problem with reseasoning may be the quality of your skillet, not you!

Wow, glad she learned! I can’t believe you showed that kind of restraint! Did you get it re-seasoned?

Poor thing. Bless her evil heart. No one puts a cast iron skillet in the dishwasher! The horror!

We don’t have a cast iron skillet in my family, but we do have a cast iron girdle for pancakes and scones, made by my great grandfather, out of a piece of 1 inch thick, mild steel armour plate. It’s a circle, sawed out for a porthole, on a pre WW1 battleship, rather crudely rounded off at the edge! It has a heavy steel handle, with a pointy bit in it so you could hang it from the hook over the kitchen fire, on an old black leaded range. It weighs a ton, and is cleaned off with a bit of kitchen paper and some oil while it is still hot. My sister has it and it is used regularly despite it’s weight. It makes wonderful pancakes and scones, but you need to leave it over night to cool off.

I live in South Carolina and have learned through much trial and error about this. Now I just use a potato cut in half and salt to clean mine. If I do not have a potato, I just use a dry paper towel and salt. Scrubs it nicely and afterwards, I see if I need to put a dab of oil in the pan just to coat it from drying out.

So when I was in college my roommate (who did not cook) put my cast iron skillet (that I got from my grandmother) into the dishwasher. I just about used it to brain her when I found out. We still laugh about it today (many many years later). She is now a great cook and cringes when she thinks about it.
