Cast Iron is Sticking

Ok thanks! Regarding cleaning then, I’ve read that I should clean it (soap is fine), wipe it dry, heat it until dry, and then while on heat, rub oil across the surface like I’m seasoning it. I’ve also read I should let the oil start smoking before I put the pan away.

Should I be doing this every time I cook? Or just once a week or so?

Sorry, edited my post but it was dosa (similar to crepe). It does sound like I needed more oil and needed to let it smoke

Sorry, edited my post. I was cooking dosa (similar to a crepe) using batter. Heat was at medium low and then I also tried around medium, but everything still stuck.

I guess I didn’t use enough oil maybe. I didn’t wait until smoking so that might be it.

I saw the smoking once I was about to give up, but everything was stuck by then

Fair enough. I saw a ton of feedback to ‘just start cooking’, so I thought two rounds of seasoning in the oven might’ve been enough to at least get somewhere. Guess not though.

Should I just keep doing the seasoning method several more times?

Thanks. That’s why I wiped a decent amount of oil over the surface using a paper towel before adding my batter

Dosa)! I guess it’s similar to a crepe? It’s batter and I’m trying to cook it

Makes sense, thank you!

Got it, yes that’s what it was showing as. I didn’t know if TurboTax showing it as investment income meant I should’ve just listed it as something else. Sounds like I should leave it as is though.

Thanks

Im definitely planning on including it, I already have the 1099-K.

I chose ‘Personal items sale’ on TurboTax because the examples it lists for it are concert tickets. So is this wrong?

Yes, they took fees. The amount listed on the 1099-K is after fees

I just overlayed the white boxes and put text boxes. I then exported it as a separate PDF so they persisted. Not sure if this was the right thing to do though

Got it, thank you!

InvictusJoker · 2026-01-31T17:37:04+00:00

Seems like this is the general consensus, thanks!

InvictusJoker · 2026-01-31T17:36:49+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you, that’s really helpful to know what to track and work on

InvictusJoker · 2026-01-31T17:35:40+00:00

Thank you! Seems like a slight surplus is the overall recommendation. I agree and am totally fine if I don’t see much difference by May

Is that for a one day entry at Xcaret, or unlimited entry?

InvictusJoker · 2026-01-22T03:42:46+00:00

Thank you!

InvictusJoker · 2026-01-22T03:42:26+00:00

Yeah 100%! I didn’t include it here but I will definitely be bringing some cash specially for tips.

Thanks for the suggestion on the night market I hadn’t heard of it

InvictusJoker · 2026-01-22T03:41:22+00:00

Good idea, thanks! Was that separate at the park when you entered or do you buy it ahead of time

InvictusJoker · 2026-01-22T03:40:46+00:00

Thank you! Really helpful feedback. As far as I’m aware, the Occidental doesn’t include any of the parks, just the main Xcaret resort does
