Thanks, Om.
When you do a steak in the house (DH will cook in a Lodge solid bottom
skillet.) I've been trying to get him to get a Lodge with the raised
marks for searing. (He's not going for it) But I've been wondering
about how much oil would be necessary in that kind of a grilling cast
iron skillet vs. a solid bottom cast iron skillet. Got any opinions/
view point?
