Here’s my fried egg and cleaning the cast iron.
I used bacon grease to fry the egg and a paper towel to wipe down the skillet.

This is my first video upload, so here it goes!  I had more trouble with making a little video than cooking the egg!

Part 1 of the video shows the pan being heated, the beautiful green egg being cracked in the pan and then fried.


Then, I realized I didn't have my garlic out so I had to stop video. I like to crush a garlic on my fried egg.  When I restarted, all I had was still shots (NOT) showing how the egg slid around in the pan!  So I cooked another egg. It was ok since I was hungry.  So here's part 2 of egg fry -- showing it sliding around.

Then clean up!  My pan didn't look like it needed to be reseasoned, so I stopped after it was dry.  I probably only do the resealing every 4 or 5 times I use the pan because the "non-stick" really seems strong.

Fried eggs this morning and videoed the progress. I ended up frying a few more which led to some crumblies in the pan so I had to use the hot water method of cleaning. Still very simple. I greased it with coconut oil afterward to get it ready for the next meal.

I can't seem to get the imbed to work so here's the link for now: Egg Frying Video

My first video upload so fingers crossed this works.

Edge case submission
I finally remembered to have my partner record me while I make us breakfast! Enjoy this video of sliding eggs & the photos I took showing how EASY cleanup is when you cook this way.

Today’s breakfast was really breaking my fast - this meal marks the end of a 2 day fast, trying to reset my gut.

The eggs were used as part of a larger meal, for the stir fry BB.

Slidey portion:



Then I used paper towel to wipe out the pan:

Hey PEP-Folks,
Here is an egg sliding in my medium Le Creuset cast iron, which has been a wonderful pan for a decade plus (and my wife found it used). It is pretty well seasoned, as you can tell from the bit-too-hot condition not affecting egg slippage (it was the last fry of the morning's breakfast). Cleanup is water and steel wool.

Video should link below:


Happy Homesteadimg,
Mark
