Face Trees

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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!
