Mine went from sticky and dull to a glassy black surface in about 3 months once I switched to just hot water and a stiff brush. Curious how long it took other people to build up a real season on theirs?
Oh wow, 3 months is quick! I read somewhere that it really depends on how often you cook with it. The guy said daily use is key, like bacon and cornbread help it build up faster.
