12" Cast Iron Skillet

Here is my second cast iron skillet that I have been using for about 3 months now. This meets my needs, and also is made by Lodge. I enjoy cooking with because of its versatilities with high heat. Even though it was pre-seasoned, I still washed it in warm water and a little bit of soap. About a month and half into using and cooking, I got some food stuck on the bottom. Regardless how hard I tried, I just couldn't get the food residue off. A good friend of mine cooked with it. He then washed it so hard that a lot of seasoning on the bottom was gone. Yep, I was a little bit upset about it. At least the food residue was gone. And I got to rebuild the seasoning by cooking with it.
When I restarted with the seasong, I thought about using the oven to bake it, but then I would miss out a lot of fun. I decided to cook with it in order to build that seasoning. The process was slow and painstaking, but worth awhile. I did frying, searing, browning, and baking. The pictures show the result.
