What did you bake your cornbread in?  Mine will just
flop right out of the cast iron skillet if I want to
dump it out.

Mine is a w.e.l.l. seasoned cast iron skillet and the
bread has pulled away from the sides and will actually
drop out of it if I turn it upside down.  That dab of
bacon grease that has been heated to the smoking point
before pouring in the batter greatly assists in the
removal.

For cornbread, bacon grease or lard is a MUST ingredient.  You can do it
with any oil, but you'll notice the difference.

I won't notice the difference because I'll make it without killing an
animal first.
