@@janet1744 I have been cooking in Iron skillets for over 45 years. I don't use anything else to be honest. When cooking eggs, I use a spoonful of bacon grease and a tab of actual butter. That is for scrambled eggs. If just fried eggs, I only use bacon grease due to splattering. Also, I never use soap or wash my skillets. I will use a plastic scraper in very hot water to get any remaining egg out of the pan. Then wipe with a paper towel. After that I will put on the oven eye at highest heat to get any residual water out of it so it won't rust. I then will lightly wipe a little oil on the inside of the pan if needed after so many uses.

Years of use can smooth out the surface. Some manufacturers used a finer casting process that left the surface smoother. Some also polished the cooking surface. You can strip it down, polish the cooking surface, then reseason.
@patrickfosgate3258

Most companies that are mass producing these days (ie Lodge) are quick sand casting their pans which results in the rougher texture. The older pans were cast and finished by hand at a slower pace. But the more seasoning you build on a Lodge pan the more you'll notice it will become smoother and non stick.

I struggle with that, too. Just keep seasoning it like he did in the video over and over until you get the surface you want. Using an oil specifically made for cast iron helps. I got a bottle off Amazon and it made the surface as smooth as glass. Good luck!

The temp entirely depends on the smoke point of the oil. If he’s using something like avocado oil he’s going to need to go over 500° for it to polymerize. I’m not sure why people insist on using high smoke point oil, they’re just making it harder on themselves.
