I washed our 16-inch cast-iron skillet and set it on the stove to dry it off before I oiled it. The water made trees and a face. When I started drying it, I noticed there was still a little food stuck to the skillet, so I washed it again. The second time I set in on the stove it only made trees.
The face seems to be having a bad day.
Can you blame him after being doused with boiling water and scrubbed with a stiff brush? Thanks, John.
That should remove any traces of radiation. Ya welcome. 😬
Excellent. I love seeing stuff in stuff. Faces. Landscapes. Gestures. Love this day of the Cast Iron Skillet Reading.
Thanks, Jordan. “Stuff in Stuff”. I like that. Do you remember Jesus on the tortilla?
I do, though, I had asked for Christmas chili and there was none, so I sent it back. 🙂
Hahahah!
That face is a little spooky. The second one looks like a large sweet potato to me.
Thanks, Rebecca. It is a creepy face. Sweet potato? I think you are right about that.
Timothy, darlin’… Never wash your cast iron skillet in water… Even if you did get cool images.
Use coarse salt, veggie oil and a rag or a few paper towels. Repeat until salt stays white… Then, wipe with oil. It’ll last ages..
Thanks, Dale. We don’t keep coarse salt around. We don’t use salt. I’ve used boiling water, dried them out and oiled them for years. Never had a problem. As long as you don’t use soap and keep them oiled, they stay seasoned.
Cool.
Strange things are happening around Tim’s house!! Never trust an iron skillet with a face on it. What is it looking at? The trees are not a worry.
It’s a great skillet. It just gets heated sometimes. Thanks, Holly.
I guess that steel wool would make one (iron skillet) cranky . Rusty too.
The crakes make an interesting structure.
Thanks, rabirius.
Brilliant observation and beautiful trees!!!! 😉👍👌🙂
Thanks, Marina.
Gotta love what you can see in things. Love this post Timothy. Bookmarked it to come back cos I was rushing earlier and it is well worth coming back for. ,
Thanks, Shehanne.
Interesting images in the frying pan! You might like this Twlight Zone episode.

Thanks, Lavinia. Good old Twilight Zone.
I didn’t see it at first, but when I did it was unmistakeable.
It popped right out to me. Thanks, Susan.
IMHO, the skillet is jealous of all the fabulous women who have trees in their names.
I think it wants its own tree, or to have a woman claim it, the skillet for her own!
Hmmm! I hadn’t thought about that. The skillet has not been claimed by anyone outside this household. Thanks, Resa.
I wonder what the skillet will do next?
I’m going to start paying more attention when I clean it.
I think that is a very rational idea!
