My first piece of CI I bought about 2 weeks ago. I had a coupon and additional discount and got a new lodge 10 inch skillet for $5. Cleaned it and did a couple of seasoning cycles on it then the first thing I cooked in it was bacon, figured bacon was as good of a first food as any. Then couple of nights ago i baked my first cornbread in it, I dont think even a crumb stuck to the skillet:razz:
