Today I received my set of Lodge pre-seasoned pans which I ordered last week

I am assuming the pan should be very well seasoned before trying to bake in it?

I bake my bread in my mom's old black cast iron dutch oven! Look @ pixs of today's oven spring!

Baked this Tartine today. No ears (very humid and a slight on purpose under-bake), but great oven spring in that old cast iron pot!:

Yes. After several uses it should be OK. I still swear by the pancake method.

My goodness, that is a beautiful loaf of bread. Did you use it for anything special?

 

[mariadnoca]

Thanks! Nope, just lunch and my daily bread for the week.

but on't fry fish in it and then bake soon after. fish taste seems to linger.

that would be "don't"

 

[angak1]

gorgeous!

But scrubbing with salt takes care of that pretty well. Also, heating the pan to burn off the fish

oil.
