The corn bread sounds interesting.be sure to look up "southern living" pineapple upside down cake recipe....and watch Alton Brown sometime with his while he makes corn bread....you will never buy another box cake mix or cook corn bread in anything else....
as far as I was taught by a former kitchen store owner cast iron cookware needs to be broken in. just coat with a gentle coating of any kind of vegetable oil and get the skillet nice and hot just leave to cool and rest and they should be ready to rock

I'll echo what some others have stated and say absolutely no soap, and avoid acidic foods as both with destroy your seasoning. If you find a tough bit of stuck on crud, and the hot water trick isnt working, I've found that putting some coarse salt in the pan with a small amount of the water to make a paste and using it as an abrasive works well, and doesnt seem to strip the seasoning off. I suppose I could just get myself a dedicated scotch brite or steel wool for cast iron, but my kitchen space is at a premium.
