Consider yourself lucky if all you get called is a fussbudget.

Yet another cast iron thread...
When I have purchased a cast iron skillet and/or need to redo the seasoning:
Each time I use it and for sometime thereafter, when I have washed it (using a stiff plastic vegetable brush if necessary) and drying it, I put a little olive oil (or whatever oil you wish to use) on it and spread it around with a paper towel. Then I put it it in the oven for about a half-hour at 325-350. If you do this for a while, then you won't have to worry much about it sticking as much; therefore you won't have to worry about the cleaning of it. I don't like to use steel wool/pads on my cast iron. Hope this helps. P.S. If you use the above advice, about the only thing that is guaranteed to take your nice seasoning off is tomatoes -- and then they really taste yukky. This is one reason that I don't cook a stew using tomatoes in cast iron.
