seasoning cast iron
We had some rust on our cast iron skillet, so my boyfriend followed instructions to scrub it off with steel wool and then re-season. But we think he must have used too much oil in seasoning it because the skillet is now a little sticky. What should we do now?

Best way to avoid rust is to wash the pan with a little water right after use, having turned off the burner before washing. Then wipe the pan and place it upside down over the still warm burner. A little later, rub a drop of oil over the pan and you are done.
Avoid lengthy cooking of acidic items, such as tomatoes and wine, as they will harm the seasoning.
