Somebody told me that they saw a movie where the boom mics were obvious, and it really bothered themWhat exactly is a boom mic?
A boom is a crane-like device that lifts something high off the groundThe mic that hangs over the actors' heads, suspended from a boom, therefore, is called a boom micIn poorly shot and edited films, mics are often visible dipping in the top of the shotIt's the sign of a low budget movie and rarely happens in a quality productionEDIT: Yes, it is usually held up by on a long pole, not an actual crane :)
Whether it says that it is seasoned or not you should heat it up prior to using it for the first timeTake a napkin, and some olive oil and coat it and turn it on a medheat until the oil burns offIf it is safe to put in the oven that would be bestWagner makes a really good cast ironOn making the panninis, medheat will do or your bread wont turn out at the same time as the turkey cheese.
I've cooked with and collected cast iron cookware all my lifeSome of my pieces are over 100yrsoldFirst, How to properly clean cast iron1: After use, wipe food out with a paper towel2: Rinse under hot water, never use soap or detergents 3: Allow to dry, and pour a small amount of vegatable oil in it4: Wipe with a paper towel to coat the piece with oilthis will prevent rusting5: When storing, you can stack them by placing wax paper between themFor stubborn cleaning- either heat the pan in the oven until it burns off, or soak in hot water until it is softened enough to removeDo not use steel soap pads, use Copper pads (Choreboy) with no soap onlyScrub only enough to loosen the stuck on foodbtw- preseasoned pans do need cleaning with a mild detergent before first use, but be sure to coat with oil before heating themSeasoning a Cast iron piece: Fill pan,pot,or skillet completely with Lard Place in coalbed of hot Hickory fireCover with more wood, and keep fire going for min4hrsAllow to cool and remove from ashesWipe clean and rinse in hot waterAllow to dry and coat with oil as per instructions aboveNote: you won't have to do this unless the piece is green, or you've used detergent Most important: Never,Ever, place in dishwasher!!! It will strip the seasoning completely out.

If all else fails read the g instructions, they will tell you exactly how the manufacturer wants their product needs to be looked afterLook for their websiteI could quote you 3 different methods, apart from the one That came with mineOne thing is the same, is the caring of them, rinse them in hot water and scrub, then re oilI use a nail scrubbing brush on mine, and no I do not use it on my nailsThey will go black straight away but you can sterilise them easy enough by pouring a jug of boiling water over it,
