Anyone have any experience with the "pre-seasoned" cast
iron?

I remember someone posting *here* about it a few years
ago. I don't remember the exact wording, so I probably
won't be able to find the post, but this person got the
pre-seasoned skillet, did some cooking, then when it was
time to clean the skillet, the seasoning peeled right
off the pan!

I figured as much. I don't think any company can season
cast iron like we can at home. �I think it's just a
gimick.

The stoopid part is why would any normal brained person
want to cook with something so antiquated that they need to
worry about seasoning... wouldn't surprise me if yoose live
in a friggin' covered wagon. Imagine, someone is spending
many, MANY thousand$$$ on a designer kitchen and they still
can't afford decent modern cookware, they gotta use crap
folks are trying to give away at tag sales. The only
reason folks use cast iron cookware is because they are too
stingy to spend the bucks for real cookware, so they buy
that five n' dime dreck and then try to somehow rationalize
that there are good points, well there are none!

ah, i see cast iron is beyond your limited comprehension. not
at all surprising considering...
but since you brought it up, what do you consider "real"
cookware?
