re: Cast Iron Skillets - Take Me to School

Hey buddy. Honestly, you can go buy an Ozark Trail brand from Wal-Mart being kind of picky to get the least rough one they got (just to save a little work). Sand it with a palm sander to knock down the roughest peaks and a lot of the factory seasoning (you don't have to get it smooth as glass). Wash and re-season a few times then make a roux in it. You'll be good to go. It won't be a collector's piece but will be a great "user". As good as any... Unless you want to buy made in USA. If that's the case, get a Lodge. You'll still need to sand and re-season tho
