Hi all,

Thanks for all in info so far! I hope this reply works! I'm not very good at these forum posts!!

I will try reoiling the bottom after I clean the rust off! As far as the suggestion of the charcoal, I don't have a balcony or a place to do that, but a great idea!

I don't want to play around the with pan too much because the inside is so smooth. My moms oiled it pretty well! I'm afraid if I start playing around to much I'll ruin the inside.

Still loving all the posts! Tonight I'm going to try searing HALIBUT! YUMMY! (But I'm going to us a plastic flipper tonight cause I haven't found a stainless steel spatula yet! SHHHH Don't tell anyone!)

My mom gave me her cast iron skillet! I love it! In watching all the videos and reading the articles, I've learned alot! The info is fabulous!

The skillet is very smooth on the inside. So I am pretty happy with that, however there is alot of rust on the bottom of the skillet!!! How can I can rid of that, if I don't have a self cleaning oven or a place where I can throw it in a fire!? Fires in apartments, not such a good idea!

I've read as well that you should oil the outside of the pan as well. Will that not catch fire when you turn the stove on to use it again?

Any info you could give me would be really helpful!

Thank you,
Lisa
