    This was great, I did cook it in a cast iron and used all the butter. The flip worked out well. I was able to drain the access butter after I flipped it.

    This was good, but if I make it again I'd like to try a few tweaks. First -- WOW is there a lot of butter, and I don't think it's all necessary. I melted the whole two sticks right off the bat but only ended up using maybe 2/3rds of it, and I was being pretty generous with the amount I brushed on. I think next time I would only use one stick and it would be plenty. OR, I'd be curious as to how it would be with olive oil instead? Also, I wish this had gotten a bit more browned and crisp around the edges but I don't see how that would happen with it covered for the whole time. It might be better to remove the lid for the last 5 minutes or so of cooking.
