   How do you use/prep cast iron pan? I have one but evrything sticks to it. Its Paula deen pan that I recently bought..it says pre-seasoned but when I used it for dosa – the dosa stuck to it..would not come off. Thanks for your advice.

   Hi Rachna,
   I saw your post about your cast iron pan. I grew up using them and what happens is that when you get a cast iron pan new it has a food grade wax on them which must be scrubbed off. Then you need to season the pan (even if it says it is pre-seasoned) like this below.
   1. scrub pan with steel wool and soap, let dry
   2. take an oil like canola or sunflower and with a paper towel rub a light coating of oil in the pan. Some people do this on the outside as well, it’s your choice, but I don’t.
   3. put in 250 degree oven for two hours, remove (with potholders!!) and let cool.
   After that you should have a non-stick cast iron pan. Hope this helps.
   Judy

   Hi Rachna,
   I forgot to mention. With cast iron, you should not ever soak the pan in water for any length of time, it takes the seasoning off and it can start to stick again or rust. After it is seasoned, when you wash it after you cook, don’t use steel wool, just use a dishcloth or plastic scrubbie or sponge.Then make absolutely sure you dry it with a cloth and let it continue to completely dry before putting it away. On occasion you may want to coat it again with oil and do the same process again. But normally the oil you put into it when you cook will continue to season it over and over again.
