Why does corn bread stick to cast iron?

Because you make the batter in the pan? Because you didn't grease it with shortening or butter but instead with a liquid oil or not at all. Because your cast iron isn't properly seasoned? Cast iron needs to be rubbed with oil (edible oil!) every time it is used or cleaned or it will dry out and possibly rust. If it isn't properly seasoned it will suck up your batter into the pan and make it nearly impossible to remove or clean. And you shouldn't use soap on a cast iron. Just very hot water and a scrub. The more dried out it is the worse things will stick. Also use a solid grease to grease your pan before putting in your batter so that it doesn't wash away when you pour in the batter. Butter or shortening will stay in place until it's in the oven. It will melt because it's getting hot, cooking the outside of your bread and forming a barrier between the pan and the bread. And the bottom will be super crispy and yummy.

Just one more thing; if you don't already love your recipe for corn bread, this is mine. Make the regular recipe from a box, Jiffy or whatever, and then add an ENTIRE CAN of creamed corn. It's the moistest yummiest thing in the whole wide world!! ;)


when you make corn bread you must and i mean must preheat your pan with some grease or i use butter real butter not the junk called margarine. heat up your pan and pour in your batter and if the batter sizzles when you pour it in it will not stick

When buying a rosette iron for making rosette cookies which is a better tool cast iron or the aluminum iron?

Cast Iron. Cast Iron can be "seasoned" which creates a "non"-stick coating while cast Aluminum cannot. I have used both cast Iron and cast Aluminum; the rosettes made with the Aluminum irons never release as well as rosettes made using the cast Iron. Given how delicate rosettes are after frying and how HOT as well; I have never had the same success rate using the aluminum irons.
