I normally wouldn't filter it either but I've been working on seasoning
this cast iron skillet off and on for weeks. It's the Lodge 10 1/4" one
with the matching cast iron lid. The sides are about 3 and 1/2" high.
The inside bottom of the skillet is much rougher and pebbled than
another Lodge skillet I own. It took multiple applications of high-
oleic Sunflower oil and EVOO before the paper-towel pads stopped coming
out with a reddish tinge. I decided to try bacon grease even though some
people say it can go rancid. I'm seriously considering giving it a
Kluthe Treatment. I'll use my angle grinder with a 120 grit flap disk
and smooth the inside bottom and a little of the sides. Then I'll start
over.
