Suggestions???
About a month ago I pulled a real bonehead move: I forgot to take one of my skillets out of the oven before heating it up to cook dinner. I ended up cooking every last bit of seasoning from the last 3 years of use out of it, right down to the bare metal. Now, I have to start from scratch. I have been using it as my primary cooking skillet whenever possible and seasoning and reseasoning but it's getting to be a real pain in the a$$. Is there an easier way to reseason a cast iron skillet? Like I said, I use it as much as possible and, when I don't use, I reseason it using bacon or sausage grease for the flavor. My Mom has been cooking with cast iron for as long as I can remember and she's done the same thing with good results so that's why I'm doing it this way. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Your Mom is doing it right. Main thing is to use hot water, no detergent, when cleaning up, a non-metalic scrubbered to remove food particles, then heat skillet a minute or two and add your bacon/lard for seasoning. It might take a little extra time, but it's worth every minute, in the food thats prepared later, and one good thing about them, they will last your life time, your childrens life time and grand children and great-grand children.
It's well worth it !
