Have either of you ever made pancakes in it and then cut it out in squares. I had heard about that on a tape but never tried it. Guess I should. I have a lot of friends with grand kids and it sounds like a good way to feed a crowd at once.

Cleaning a cast iron skillet is simple and can be done with just hot water and a stiff brush. Avoid using soap or abrasive cleaners as they can strip the skillet's seasoning. If there are stubborn bits of food stuck to the skillet, you can use a small amount of coarse salt and a paper towel to scrub it off. Rinse the skillet thoroughly and dry it completely with a towel or by placing it on the stove over low heat.
It is recommended to season a cast iron skillet after each use to maintain its non-stick surface and prevent rust. However, if the skillet is well-seasoned, it may only need to be seasoned every few uses. Signs that your skillet needs to be seasoned include food sticking to the surface or a dull appearance.
Yes, you can use metal utensils on a cast iron skillet. The surface is durable and can withstand metal utensils without scratching. However, avoid using sharp or serrated utensils as they can damage the seasoning.
It is best to store a cast iron skillet in a dry place with the lid off to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to rust. If stacking your skillets, place a paper towel or cloth between each one to prevent scratches. If the skillet will not be used for an extended period, lightly coat it with oil to prevent rusting.
Yes, cast iron skillets are compatible with induction cooktops. The iron in the skillet is magnetic, allowing it to transfer heat from the induction cooktop. Just make sure the bottom of the skillet is flat and in good condition to ensure proper contact with the cooktop surface.
