Hey guys, this might be a noobie "live and learn" moment. When I was seasoning the cornstick pan I bought last week, I thought I had come up with a brilliant solution for getting the Crisco into the small spaces ... I "painted" the corn cobs with a silicone basting brush. When I went to do the second round of seasoning, I noticed a couple of spots where the oil seemed to almost bead up like rain on a freshly waxed car. My only conclusion is the silicone must have put a film on the iron. I thought the brush was rated to 500 degrees, but when I checked on it online it appears they are only rated to 450 ... which is the temperature the pan was when I pulled it from the oven.
Has anybody else used silicone brushes? If so, did you experience this problem as well?
