Want to cook eggs non-stick in cast iron?

If you follow how I use my cast iron skillets when cooking you will be able to clean them much easier.

What people just don't get is that good skillets whether cast iron, carbon steel, or good stainless steel (i.e all clad style) all work to be pretty well non-stick when you heat the pan properly. The molecules in the metal swell up when heated to make a more slick surface. When you don't pre-heat for long enough you get stickage. In this era of the non-stick pans people have forgotten how to use skillets properly. I kicked all my non-stick as well as my microwave to the curb 20 years ago and happy for it. As Alton Brown said in Good Eats...the pan heats alone!

You can use mineral oil as it does not go rancid. I find that the hot water makes the skillet hot enough that a wipe with paper towel saves returning it to the burner. Then the same instructions you gave. Thanks for sharing. Many folks are afraid of cast iron because they think it is to muck work. I threw away all my non-stick pans long ago. Cheers!

Hasta la vista non-stick! Don't let the door hit you on the way out. 😆

unless its nearly red hot it wont crack a pan to pour cold water on it, it wont clean as well though especially if there was any oil in the pan
