Cast-iron cookware breeds a strange kind of obsession. When I got my first pan, I spent untold hours seasoning, cooking, researching the best non-soap methods to use for cleaning, and re-seasoning that thing.

You've probably never heard of or seen an inside out French braid before. Which is all the more reason you should try this tutorial! While it definitely sounds difficult, an inside out French braid is basically how a French braid would look like if you flipped it over.
