Fortunately it was a tasty steakhouse smoke, so I didn't mind. Still, it was an amazing amount of smoke pouring off that steak. As soon as the steak hit the pan I thought "oh shit...I'm going to be in soooooo much trouble when the wife gets home..."
Peanut or canola. And if it ain't smokin' up the house, you're not doing it right. In order to get that great sear, you have to have a high temp. And if you've got the high temp, you're going to get a lot of smoke.

I could have put the leftover steak juice in a cup and poured it over my cereal.

It was spectacular.

Very simple. I make it using a couple of pounds of butter at a time! And it tastes amazing!

I tend to use corn oil for high heat applications.

For some reason, I have a bias against canola oil. I think it's because Bittman disses it in one of his cookbooks.

Has anyone tried the Alton brown method of cleaning cast iron?

Once you are done cooking, either use the fat from whatever you were cooking, or pour in some oil, then pour on about a tablespoon or two of (kosher) salt, use tongs and a wad of paper towels to thoroughly wipe the inside of the cast iron, then wipe out all the salt and oil with a clean paper towel.

Seems easier than the ususal method of wiping, oiling, wiping, baking, wiping.

I don't use any fat or anything, I just pour salt in and wipe away. My pans look GREAT

I've never had any trouble with using Kosher salt to clean like you do, but I do prefer using just hot water and a non-scratch scouring pad.

I clean it with hot water and a scouring pad as well. However, after it dries, some white spots as fabric appear on the surface. I scratch it fingernail and find that the spots are ingrained into the surface.

Is it worth it to start it from scratch right away, remove the seasoning and re-season, or should I just keep the Lodge as is and only season the Calderos?
Yes! The seasoning from Lodge is minimal. I'd strip it and start with this method for sure on a new pan.

Thanks. I'll be doing the Calderos this week, and I'll do the Lodge after that if I get the Calderos right.

Just bought my first cast iron skillet. A nice 10 inch Lodge I found at the local TJ Max for $11.99. Great place to find it on the cheap.

Question about the flaxseed oil seasoning technique. Do you have to do the entire process in a single day, or can I do not over a weekend? If I can do if over a couple days, I'll start tonight. If not, I'll start early tomormorning .

Do it over a couple days. Just don't use in between seasoning sessions.
