YAY!!!

Thanks to Janel, my cast iron no longer sticks! I'd all but given up on getting my potato flip to not stick, but now there is renewed hope. This Bald Man is one happy, happy boy!

LONG LIVE TOM'S CAST IRON!

Tom, I'm glad I could help!! I know your pain and I was only trying to cook eggs & pancakes. But you've got me nervous... Did the flip flop??

I don't try to cook with no fat. I usually use a little puddle of extra virgin olive oil. If I'm doing fried potatoes, I'll use a combo of EVOO & butter. Sometimes I'll cook our eggs in just butter, but mostly I use EVOO.

Just as a side note, when I make fried potatoes, I generally get a bit of sticking. I use extra oil when I make them.

Since you're doing the sticky potatoes & such a lot, don't be afraid to season the pans two or three times in a row before you use them.

Good luck!!

Thanks again for your help, Janel. The flip was mostly a success. There was a little bit of stickage before the actual flip, but everything got dislodged with a little prodding. In the past, things would get so stuck that the whole thing would come apart and I'd end up with shredded hash browns (which are good, but not what I was after).

Wonderful! I'm glad to hear it finally worked! :)
