cast iron pan maintenance & refinishing question

Sally,

You cannot enamel them yourselves. Enamels are a form of glass, and unless you have a kiln or lehr, you have no way of producing the high heat required for enameling.

Just use them occasionally, and if you continue to have problems, fry up a couple of pounds of bacon. Provides a great non-stick coating.

As far as I can tell all the 'seasoning' business is so much hooey, I just throw the cast iron pots and pans into the dishwasher with all the rest, can't stand that fried on grease of seen on some of them.

You can do anything you want with them. But like anything else, if you use as intended and follow directions, you get a little better service from the product.

You obviously don't care about the original anti-stick cooking surface that comes from a clean, seasoned cast iron. And you don't seem to care about the taste of soap in your food. If that's alright with you, fine. Some of us prefer to have a nicely seasoned pan. I can flip omelets in my 10-incher. Try that on an unseasoned pan.
