Who makes a good one and where can I get it?
i've never seen a 'bad' iron skillet; even one that was buried in the dirt for 50 years.
keep in mind an iron skillet is alot like a baseball glove. a new one from lodge with the 'pre-seasoning' is not going to be smooth and glassy for awhile. you'll need to work the shite out of that thing for a bit to get it where you want it.
lard and an oven is your friend. if i were you i'd scrub the shite out of it and get the lodge seasoning off and then season it yourself.
you dont need to do the 50-step flaxseed seasoning process despite what others may say.
a good simple lard-ified skillet will do the trick..but it may take a few weeks or months of constant use to find that sweet spot.
i <3 cast iron. if i lost every other skillet in my house but my aunt's 50 year old skillet i'd be just fine.
here you go:
