Why does my cast iron skillet make my food black?

Question

first, the black specks you see coming off into your food are not harmful. they are most likely carbon deposits. this happens due to overheating of fats and oils. using an oil with a low smoke point will carbonize at high temperatures and cause residue from the pores of your pan to rub off onto your food.
