I've got a great one, but needs to be reseasoned

It's the one I used for fried dough: http://blog.cooklike...-fried-dough.html It's still plenty slick for normal frying, but I want to do crepes. Which means it needs to be damn near perfect. I've been wanting to try something I heard ... was it here? Just put the cast iron in the electric oven while I run it through a cleaning cycle. Should cook everything out and turn it to ash, then I'll have a bare surface to start from. --

Looks a bit shallow for omelets - but . . .
. . should be good for crepes. It's much like the Lodge 90G (which they call a "round griddle"). I find the 90G most excellent for dry roasting spices for Indian cuisines, heating tortillas, pappadam, roti and the like, and I'm sure it would do crepes.

Pretty close
But this one has the old-style smooth finish, not the pebbled surface the newer stuff has. And the lip is even shallower than on that griddle. So really perfect for crepes.
You're right about it being a little tricky to use for omelets. It does a two-egg just fine. Three and you're asking for trouble. --
