My 15 year old cast iron finally lost its seasoning, here's what fixed it
I've been using the same lodge skillet since college, and last week the patina just gave up after a tomato sauce marathon. The bottom turned gray and sticky, which scared me into thinking I ruined it. Spent 4 hours stripping it with oven cleaner and reseasoning three times with flaxseed oil. It came back darker and slicker than before, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had a pan fail on them after decades, or am I just a weirdo?
