Frying with cast iron
You have chosen a Le Creuset cast iron skillet. It certainly takes some time to get used to a cast iron skillet if you are coming from a coated aluminum or stainless steel pan, as it has different frying properties. It takes longer to heat up, but then retains heat longer, fries more evenly, and the skillet forms (and this is important) a patina. Initially, these are dull, grayish spots, usually starting in the center of the skillet, until the bottom is covered with them and the many small spots merge into one large patch. This is completely normal behavior for a cast iron skillet. Please do not try to wipe off or otherwise remove the patina. The more patina there is, the better the skillet fries, as the patina acts as a natural non-stick coating. Properly seasoned, the skillet will last for generations. When frying with cast iron skillets, it is important that they are always placed on the stove with good oil; medium heat is sufficient. For cleaning, it is usually enough to wipe the skillet out with a paper towel; residues can be removed with hot water.
