Is it for the taste?

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.

It came already seasoned, and we use the skillet a lot.
When I clean it (using hot water and kosher salt as I know I should) and then dry it off, I rub a bit of oil into it.
My question is, can I use PAM or oil spray to coat the skillet?

This skillet is cast iron and about 3" around the actural skillet. It is made by Birmingham Stove & Range Company. I don't think the company is still in business and I think it is pretty old. If anyone has any info. about the company itself and how to find out more info., please let me know. Thank you.

I just purchased a new 12" cast iron skillet and the label on it claims that it's "seasoned, ready-to-use." Naturally, I'm suspicious. How can I be sure that it really is seasoned correctly? Should I season it myself just to be sure?

If I scramble eggs in the iron cast skillet, little black particles end up in the eggs. Is it just too old? "1890" is stamped on the bottom of the pan. I'm not sure if that is when it was made since I purchased it at a second hand store.

What size do I need for an 8 egg frittata?
Does the cast iron skillet, (if usable) need extra greasing to get Frittata out?
Thank you for your help

My husband has just relocated his cast iron skillet, but it looks like it was never cleaned the last time he cooked in it. He has put dawn detergent and water in it and boiled it but it is still just a thick sludge that won't budge. Is this skillet hopeless or will a little bit of elbow grease help? Any other "tricks" would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen a lot of recipes lately that insist on a a cast iron skillet. Why? My cheap Walmart Teflon pans seem to do the job just fine.
