If you would like to start your own ten cent crazy book - read post 1-4 to find out how

Ok, most of us have an iron frying pan that we have been using for years and years. Well,chances are that this pan was seasoned when you bought it. In some cases years ago - a girls' mother would give the girl an iron frying pan as a wedding gift - with advice on how to use this pan if her husband ever got too mean, and advice on how to cook cornbread in it for him, if he was kind. In any case the pan, when bought - was seasoned - this helps to keep foods from sticking and also keeps the pan from rusting over time. Anyone who has ever received advice on iron cookware - will know not to ever put it in the dishwasher - this will remove the seasoning and cause it to rust - so whether you have a new pan or are going to reseason an old one - always wash it by hand and dry it with heat on the stove burner.
In any case - here's some advice to add to your ten cent crazy book.on how to season a frying pan -
and a cornbread recipe for those of you with a kind husband.

To reseason pan:
preheat oven at 350 degrees
wash pan and use a metal brush to remove rust if needed
dry pan well
cover the entire pan - inside and out with vegetable oil
place pan upside down on a piece of foil in the oven
Bake for 1 hour
Remove and set on stove burner to cool

Iron Frying Pan Cornbread Recipe

preheat oven at 425 degrees

Mix
2 cups of yellow self-rising cornmeal mix
1 and a half cups milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sugar

pour a little oil into the bottom of your newly seasoned pan,
and tilt and coat the bottom and sides evenly
Pour mixture into pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes
should be beautiful golden color and toothpick should come out clean
After removing from oven -
It is usually best to place an upside down plate on top of the pan - put one hand on the bottom of the plate and one on the pan handle and flip the cornbread onto plate while still hot- of course use a pot holder- cornbread will usually not stick to the pan while hot

Enjoy the pan and enjoy the cornbread
