that I just bought? I scoured the crap out of it with soap and hot water. Then I put some lard in it and heated it up on low heat for about 20 mins, rubbing the fat into the pan. I thought that this was enough to season it.
I seasoned a couple steaks and turned the burner to high, because I wanted to sear them. The pan started giving off this really noxious odor and smoking like crazy. I put the steaks back in the fridge because I think I've done something wrong here.
Did I season the pan correctly? I heard you can cook with really high heat (stove on max) with cast iron pans. I don't understand how the seasoning doesn't burn off at this temperature. Is it supposed to stink and smoke like a b!tch over high heat? Do I need to season the pan more?
