Last trip up to northern florida stopped at a flea and found a perfect cast eggpan.4 inch diameter and 1 inch deep. No one else is allowed to use it. Cooks a single egg perfectly, sits in the middle of a piece of bread perfectly. Allmost killed a youngun who had the temerity to cook and then wash it. After water got on it I had to season the dam thing agsin. Took half a dozen eggs before it stopped sticking. thanx, bill when I was young I envisioned myself as the embodiment of Trinity, Now I realize I have turned into the Bambino questions, help?

Enameled Iron is where it's at then. I have a general 9" frying pan which is kept properly seasoned and a sheet steel (better temperature control and shape) omelet pan. The omelet pan never sees water, but the frying pan gets scrubbed out and reseasoned when it gets too much build-up on the sides. Grape seed oil works very well for seasoning.
