I had this happen once with a hard anodized pan that worked well for most things I would use teflon for (say: eggs) and it was a horrible, horrible mess. Doh! I saw a comment on VYY, "I wasn’t very good at dry frying the tofu- this was my first time using this technique and I think i should have used a different pan." I don't think you guys are alone. ugh!

The "well-seasoned cast iron pan" is obviously just too unpredictable -- you know how much I've oiled and baked and re-oiled those stupid pans to get them seasoned just right. That's been my general experience with cast iron anyway. Most of the time they're great, but sometimes you'll have minor problems that become major problems if you do something stupid like oh, say, try to fry tofu without oil. Sigh.
