I just now noticed that my cast iron video has over 20,000 views!

It's also my oldest video.

I remember about six or seven years ago going on the cast iron quest. I wrote an extensive article about it at

http://www.richsoil.com/cast-iron.jsp

A lot of the response was disbelief. So the video was to show the eggs sliding around the pan and the freaky easy cleanup.

With a little knowledge, you can use one skillet for generations rather than buying a new skillet every year.

The article covers some common myths about cast iron that might shock even the most experienced cast iron users:

- it is okay to use soap. the problem with soap and cast iron is with MAKING soap

- I advocate NOT using an oven to season cast iron, which is quite contrary to the norm

Anyway, I just spotted the 20,000 thing and thought I would share the info.

Thanks, I love my cast iron skillets.

Hi Paul,
Intersting reading! I couldn't watch the video as I have dial-up,
but enjoyed your article.

Just wanted to let you know another way to save bacon grease
is to use a little coffee pot. I found a nice small one on Ebay
and that is what I use. Just be sure it has the basket inside
that will keep the pieces from going into your grease on the
bottom. I keep mine right next to the stove and if it needs
heated, because it is a coffee pot, I can just set it on a burner
on low.
