After I use a skillet, I wait for it to cool, scrub it with a CI only dedicated plastic brush (Lodge), hand dry, and then put it back on the stove to dry completely. While it is still hot, I give it a quick coat of oil, usually olive, and let it cool. I then wipe out excess oil with a clean towel and hang until its next use.
When wiping in the oil, I have noticed what looks like "dry" spots on the cooking surface that the oil does not cover. Am I doing something wrong, or are these areas becoming over saturated? This is happening in several of my high use skillets.
