What is the best frying pan or skillet to cook with on a gas range?
Answers:
Gas, electric or campfire, cast iron is the best, as far as I am concerned. Properly seasoned and maintained, it is naturally non-stick, heats evenly, stays hot, and provides the best results.
I have a small, medium, and a large frying pan, a griddle, and a dutch oven in cast iron, and wouldn't trade them for a world series win by the Cleveland Indians.... well, I might trade the medium skillet for that.... lol.
I rarely scrub my cast iron, just wipe it out and rinse after it cools. If it gets a little funky, I wash it and lightly re-season it in the oven.
To season a new pan, scrub it thoroughly with a Brillo pad and hot water, rinsing well, as many pans are shipped coated in motor or machine oil to retard rusting. After scrubbing, coat inside and out in a thin layer of lard or Crisco, sit upside-down on an aluminum foil covered baking pan and place in a 300 degree oven for 1 1/2-2 hours. Let cool, wipe gently with a paper towel, and hang up on a pot rack. Eggs will just slide out, food will brown like magic, and you'll learn to love it like I do!
