Cast iron leet - Hackdot

The real problem I have is that modern cast iron pans are extremely rough. Old cast iron pans are extremely smooth, by contrast.

I suspect that accounts for a lot of the variance that people experience using cast iron.

I spent an afternoon sanding down the inside surface of a cheap new cast iron skillet last month, just to see what would happen, and I have really been enjoying the result. The bare metal, after polishing, cooks better than the factory seasoning did. I look forward to seeing how it develops over time as I get a new seasoning built up.

It is possibe to have the cookimg surface in a cast iron pan smoothed and in my experience, worth it.
