The picture above is the results of 5 coats of seasoning and baking in the oven after cleaning it. It was the best conditioned pc that I had and figured it would be the best one to try first.
I went with Crisco. After reading everything, I went with what I have used and had success with during my years in Scouting.
What I cannot understand is - what is going with the coating? When I wipe the Crisco on, it appears to not stick. If it was liquid, it would almost be a beading up of the liquid. You can see on the pan surface are the spots. The surface is pretty smooth except for the outer edges where it had a build up of seasoning.
Thanks for the help / advice.. I have yet to try it, but I think a grilled cheese / Panini is due up tomorrow....
