Jus228Trying cast iron
Preheat the pan(only use medium heat at most) and use liberal amount of oil or butter on the pan before you put eggs in.
I just got into my first cast iron pan and first thing I cooked was a couple eggs and they didn't stick at all. I was amazed. It works very well when done right.

I have a small cast iron "pan" that I use solely for single servings of scrambled eggs. This is exactly how I do it, and have never had a problem.
When I'm done, I wash it with water only, heat it up to dry it, and while it's still hot hit it with a little crisco and a paper towel.

OKCGeneI'm no expert, but I'm wondering if you have a Lodge product? I've heard the off brand Chinese made are really junk and just wont season well, but the USA made Lodge season well.

OKCGeneThanks Binky. I just ordered some Crisbee.
I'm admiring your grill cooking, I've got to give it a try.

cmr076I've had good luck seasoning with flaxseed oil. My method is to wire brush the hell out of the pan, heat the pan to 200, apply a THIN coat of flaxseed oil to the entire pan (handle, top, bottom, etc. put it in a cold oven upside down on the middle rack and set it to its maximum temp, once it hits the "preheat" temp with the skillet in the oven for an hour, then leave the pan in the oven as it cools down for 2 hours. once it's cool enough to touch... you do the process over. The guide I followed has you do this 6 times (yea, it's a pain in the ass and extremely time consuming, but the results were insane).
