I found an 8", old cast iron skillet for a quarter. I used a chisel and removed a lot of the gunk, and have put in the dishwasher several times, but the inside still isn't as clean as I'd like. This isn't a joke either! I like cooking with cast iron cookware.

My mom was frying some food in a cast iron pan and put a glass lid on top, i don't know for how long, but now she can't get the lid off. It's sealed shut. It has been 3 hours and still cant get it off.
