Cast Iron Frying Pans.

I had forgotten that I had an old cast iron frying pan that I had gotten from my maternal grandmother's attic buried in my dish cupboard in my apt., but then I noticed it in the pile of pots and pans a few months ago, and I've been using it to cook down vegetable sauces for pasta I make.

One of my favorite things to do afterwards, after it dries from my scrubbing it out, is to put some olive oil on a paper towel and then rub it into the iron to season it.

For some reason I find that really satisfying, to see how nice and shiny the iron gets.
