I recently purchased a cast iron skillet. I've seasoned it according to the directions and have used it about half a dozen times. It's great for foods that can be stirred, like scrambled eggs.
However, when I cook something that can't be stirred--such as pancakes or quesadillas--the food in the center of the pan burns, while the food near the edges remains undercooked. I thought that even heating was an advantage of cast iron cookware, so I'm baffled. I've tried using low heat, high heat, more oil, less oil; none of that helps. My spouse is about to toss the new skillet and go back to the nonstick. Any ideas?
