Kind of new to cast iron. Got the cleaning and seasoning down now. My cast iron skillet is quick and easy to clean no matter the foods I try. I never thought I would have considered cast iron non-stick but through trial and error mine is.
I bought it primarily for a nice crust when frying meats. Pork chops, steaks, fish, chicken livers so far. Anyway I am asking for opinions for a frying oil. Peanut oil, vegetable shortening, Crisco vegetable oil, or Crisco Canola oil. Shallow fry only. Right now my favorite is Crisco Vegetable shortening.
