Yup. As for the Lodge question and non-smooth surface. It's
just they cheap/fast way that they make 'em. Go to garage
sales or look on the i-net for Griswolds. Basically
indestructible. a little pricey but worth it as far as I'm
concerned.

I've used 'em in fires, on stoves, in ovens, pretty much
everywhere. Great utensils to have. Don't *ever* use soap on
them. Hot water and scrape. Dry immediately. Dishwasher?
NEVER <shudder>. Some folks lightly re-oil after cleaning,
some don't. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. ;-)

As for seasoning, the solid Crisco is all that my
Grandmother and Mother ever used, so same here.
