No turning back , No turning back !
I just try to get it out if the pan. Always sticks and leaves a mess. I don't think I have ever got a piece out of any kind of baking dish whole without the bottom sticking.

I do both also!
I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!
Some always ends up in, most gets eaten on the side with butter during. And then there has to be a piece with butter and honey for desert. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yeah.
Made chili and cornbread last night. Cooked cornbread in cast iron skillet. I think the trick to non stick cornbread, at least in well seasoned cast iron, is to preheat skillet to Med on stove then add cornbread mix and bake in the oven. Mine came out without sticking!
On the siode with butter and molasses. Some does end up in the soup also.
Usually in. I love to crumble up a few pieces in a beef stew. I can also crumble up a piece in a glass of milk.
Using the recipe(s) I have posted in other cornbread threads, in a #6 cast iron skillet, you will get that nice dark crispy crust bottom and ZERO sticking.. It's all in preheating the skillet and having it HOT HOT HOT, swirling a fat tablespoon of bacon grease until it melts, you want it nearly smoking or maybe even smoking some when the batter hits it. When it is done, take it out of the oven, lay a plate over the top of the hot skillet, flip it all over and the cornbread will drop RIGHT out onto the plate.. Dump it right back into that hot skillet upside down, slice and serve!
If I am having beans, I make them soupy and loose purposely so I can slice a wedge of cornbread, butter it, set it in a bowl and drown it with the beans. OMG and HAIL YEAH we talking now!!
When we make Collards, we save the pot likker (yes this is proper, LIQUOR is had down to the ABC store, LIKKER comes from cooking greens in a pot!) and soak some of that up with cornbread. <<<STUPID GOOD TOO!!
Another favorite is to break it up into a glass of whole buttermilk.

Aw come on Doug a # 6 ? We're way hungrier than that!
I have several 6s and you can double up the recipe. Cornbread is best when there is an optimal thickness, say 1 1/2" when batter is just poured in, and the size of the #6 skillet lends itself to a perfectly consistent 20min baking time at 450.
Larger skillets take longer to bake until the middle gets done and the sides can become overcooked. There IS a method to the madness..
Of course there are exceptions to every rule, you can use a Jiffy mix and pour it thin and bake it shorter and that certainly works too. I just prefer making it thick in a #6 skillet.

I will put a piece in with beans but ALL other times it's smothered in butter with honey all over it!

with brown beans it gets crumbled in, with everything else it's buttered on the side. and sometimes a piece with butter & jelly or honey for dessert.
liked a hot piece crumbled in a cold glass of milk when I was younger. not so much now. and though it was very popular in my family, I never could stand buttermilk.
and nothin' could compare to the good fried crust my granny could put on a pan of cornbread. and even better than that was my grampaw's awesome cracklin' cornbread.
Throw the Cornbread away and eat the bowl of soup, stew, or beans. Cornbread is something i never could get a liking for? My Grandmother made it all the time, everyone that ate my Grandma's Cornbread loved it, except me! I did have some in Jail one time that was pretty darn good, it was sweet
in most cases I prefer biscuits myself but, the OP asked about cornbread. and with good brown soupbeans it's gotta be cornbread crumbled in the bowl with some beans, plenty of the soup, a big chunk of the ham or sidemeat ya seasoned with all topped off with a goodly helpin' of chopped onions.
Cornbread with real butter and mom's homemade blackberry jelly was hard to beat...The rest of the time, in it goes to whatever soup or chili!!! ( Heavily buttered when it goes in ham & beans..plain in chili...)
