All things cast iron can belong in this thread. Grates, cookware etc.
I recently acquired several vintage pieces and will be restoring them. I'll post as I go. Here is just a few pieces I have waiting to be restored. My brother recently bought a house with quite a few pieces and he gave them to me.

Great pictures from everyone and the food looks amazing.
It's been awhile since I've used the cast iron on the grill. I need to get back to it. I use it almost everyday in the kitchen.
All I've had is a 12" skillet and my griddle and Dutch oven for years. I'm looking forward to the 6 and 8 skillets. Seems like a handier size on the kettle.

This almost pushed me over the edge of buying a 17" at rural king today but I decided to play around with my 15" carbon steel a little more tonight. It did good. I think I could still use bigger though. (That's what she said)

I've only got one CI, I bought it a couple of weeks ago at Walmart and only used it once so far. Did some chicken breasts on the 22 a few weeks ago with the Stouffers wraps. As per the instructions you're not supposed to use them wraps on the grill but they turned out perfect anyway.

I started restoring a couple pieces. The old skillet is as smooth as glass. I have no idea how old it is but it looks very early. Just a small "1" on the bottom and an 8 on the handle.
The Dutch oven looks pretty old too. Just an 8 on the bottom.
No heat rings on either.

I have a grill pan with holes in it. I use it for veggies mostly to get a better grill taste on them.
Also found an old Wagner skillet outside, looks like it's been out there for years. I don't think I can salvage it any more than I have.

I've got a BSR cornbread skillet that was my grandmothers. It's marked pat pending - 1st year production. Gotta love Granny's skillet biscuits with chocolate gravy. The lodge 17" is perfect for frying on the kettle. And the lodge 12" fits the GBS perfectly.

I have a new found appreciation for my cast iron. Normally when I make oven roasted chicken pieces over sweet potatoes, I do it like this with chicken thighs in a cast iron pan, but leg quarters were on sale at the store which changed the shape of things. Laying them out in a row fit better except that didn't work out with a round pan.
The substitute I decided to use was a heavy Pyrex lasagne pan figuring the weight of the glass would give it similar heating properties. It didn't. The chicken pieces on the top came out fine as usual but the sweet potatoes didn't roast up the same way at all. They were underdone. I now appreciate the unique heating properties of cast iron from having experienced the difference between materials first hand more than I did before.

Happy birthday! That steak looks perfect. Did you keep it on the stove top the whole time or did you utilize the oven any?
I haven't attempted steak on the stove yet.

I've used cast iron for years. My first was a 10" Lodge, the the Lodge Dutch Oven, then like Weberitis you get the itch.

Bought this awhile back at a swap meet cause it looked cool. Still don't know how to use it. It has a wood handle so don't think it can be used safely on a BBQ. It's a Wagner Ware Sidney. O. 1350

If you can't find a nice Wagner, just do yourself a favor and get a Field Skillet. It's the one Kent Rollins uses the most in his videos and he has them all.

Booooo. I now have light weight glass smooth vintage and I have modern lodge. They both work great but I lean towards my heavier modern lodge. The heat retention is better and they are every bit as non-stick.
Just giving you a hard time mike. I'm sure most would agree with you.
Just my opinion and I certainly wouldn't mind having a field skillet. They look very well made.

Maybe it was to be used on an old wood stove on one of the eyes? That way it would work similar to a grill with direct exposure to the fire while the handle part is protected? Just a guess.

A local Goodwill runs a weekly silent auction for some of the more valuable stuff it brings in. I won this Griswold dutch oven yesterday. It's a #8 size, around 5 or 6 quarts. Good size for chili or beans on the grill. Nice and flat, and in pretty good shape overall. Might want to restore at some point, but no hurry.

Rib Eye in the #10 Field skillet tonight. Did it Sous Vide style with Ground pepper and Hawaiian red salt for three hours at 130, then into the hot pan (warmed first in a 500 degree oven, then onto the burner on my "garage" stove top (lots of smoke, so the open door is convenient) with oil and butter.

Flipped three or four times every 30sec. Good stuff.

Looks great. Is a field #10 the same size as a 12" lodge? The reason I ask is a 12" lodge actually has "sk10" on the bottom. Same with lodge 10". It has 8 on the bottom.

Tomahawk ribeye. 2.1 lb. 2 1/2 plus inches so thick so I reverse seared. Brought it up to temp on a kettle running 240 temp. When it hit 118 degrees or so I put it on a hot cast iron pan for minute or so per side. Remove steak. Brought temp down and put in some butter and garlic with steak for another minute per side. Pretty good

Thanks HoosierKettle. I was hoping that would be the case. Do you know what size lid I should order?

Both my old and new lodge Dutch ovens have a number 8 on the bottom and the lids measure 10 1/4". They both fit perfectly. Hope that helps.

You are correct the only cast iron I still find cheap are yard sales. I buy it clean it with my sand blaster, then season it. I bought a old Wagner (not n the picture) but I use any of the older CI and the newer Lodge

Bought this awhile back at a swap meet cause it looked cool. Still don't know how to use it. It has a wood handle so don't think it can be used safely on a BBQ. It's a Wagner Ware Sidney. O. 1350

I never saw that before. I looked up this CI and found it is a Wagner Ware Broiler NO. 1350. Circa early 1900's. Nice save! One on eBay now...

Maybe it was to be used on an old wood stove on one of the eyes? That way it would work similar to a grill with direct exposure to the fire while the handle part is protected? Just a guess.

I can't help with the number .. but the thingy in the middle is a Gate mark... from where the liquid cast iron flowed into the mold when it was made.
I would put it in the oven on self clean and go to town on it and re-season it!
That gate mark was not important way back then because you would take the ring out of the wood burning stove and the pan would have nothing under it. You could grind a little of it off to make it sit better on your newer stove... or just use it on your grill and enjoy it!

My first thought was ,,oh a Griswold skillet" because of the appearance of the handle and the 609 number but I'm missing the ,,Griswold cross" at the bottom.
Maybe you can ask lodge for support, maybe they know something?
It's worth a try!

As far as restoring cast iron, I make a lye bath using lye crystals. One pound of lye to 5 gallons water. Soak the pan at a minimum of three days. Then rinse and put in a white vinegar bath to neutralize the lye and work on any rust. Lye removes the seasoning and vinegar removes the rust.
Just be sure to respect the lye bath and avoid any contact with skin or eye.

I think it’s really cool how Lodge resurrects a retired product from their archives once a year.

I wish Weber would do the same with some of their old accessories.
Is anyone else puzzled by why that very old catalogue Lodge has a picture of near the top of the page you linked to is in French?
I just noticed, it's a catalogue from 1902. That makes the fact that the text is all in French but the prices are listed in dollars even stranger.

This is an easy puzzle. Their customer base at the time must have been French. They must have been sending their products west. Louisiana or St. Louis perhaps? Just a guess but I can't imagine any other reason.
Edit: after a quick search, lodge names the first foundry after a friend. Blacklock 1896-1910. That foundry burnt down and the next was lodge manufacturing. They apparently lost most of the molds and diagrams. They had both French and English catalogs. So I'm guessing that covered the majority of their customer base. Maybe the French versions were the only ones to survive the fire.

My brother in law gave me this 12" lodge. It had caked on seasoning that I couldn't remove by normal methods and It's not special enough to completely strip so I decided to try a quick surface smooth and restore. I hit it with a palm sander for five minutes. Changed paper a few times because it will cake with seasoning until you get down to some metal. I just sanded until smooth while leaving the seasoning in the "valleys" of the surface. It's getting seasoned now. I'm interested to see how it cooks.

The skillet passed the egg test and came out very smooth. That's just oil on the surface making it appear rough. This might be my favorite surface as opposed to rough or polished completely smooth. Best of both worlds maybe and takes very little effort or time.

Any idea what the major difference between the older style Weber wok (#7422) vs. the newer style Weber wok (#7425). My local Ace has the older style #7422 marked down a bit and it has plenty of dust on the box. I might even consider speaking with a manager about marking it down some more but before I do so I wanted to know differences in case the 7425 is better.
Only major difference I can sort of tell is possibly the newer style is thicker for better heat retention? And the shape is a bit different.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm slowly starting my CI collection. My wife and I have a few pieces one Lodge, one enameled Lodge and an enameled Le Creuset. How does the Lodge Carbon Steel skillets compare to say the 17" monster CI Lodge for grill work? I'll keep the ones we have now for indoor use but use the Wok and a bigger skillet for grill duty.

GF's dad gave me a Wagner that's been in the family for a while. He must like me! I don't use it very often though. All my other cast iron is Lodge, my biggest is the 17" skillet. The 10 1/4" skillet has permanent residency on top of my stove.
As much as I love cast iron, I don't like cast iron grates. I've had them, no longer like them and have since gone to stainless. I'm on the same page as Meathead. I'd post a link, but I don't want to anger the natives, and I don't know if a link is allowed. No cross-hatch here - it's got to be all over GBAD!

I'm not a cast iron grate guy either. Just give me a plain old plated grate. I do have a stainless grate on the 26 by default.

Having just picked up my first kettle grill last week, I have not had the opportunity to try using my CI on the kettle grill itself, or even cooked a good steak on the kettle for that matter. My first ever cook on the kettle last week was a chimichurri marinated skirt steak. Looking forward to a nice rib eye or porterhouse on the kettle soon.
However, we all love the reversed seared steaks I cook using my pellet smoker, and then searing in a CI skillet on my gasser side burner. I use a little butter, or even better ghee, when searing in the CI. The last picture I took after taking the steak off the outside burner and bringing it inside to eat. It was not seared on the stove as it would appear in the picture.

Cornbread and cast iron. Can't beat it. This was jalapeño cheddar. I'm pretty sure I'm one of only a few Northerners that put effort into cornbread. Where I'm from, it's nothing but jiffy mix. (Once in a blue moon and you have to dig it out of a glass or ceramic casserole dish.)
This was an exceptional batch. I didn't eat the main course.

Awesome thread guys!
I got my first cast iron a while back, a dutch oven. I made these spicy chicken things that they used to make at the restaraunt my mom worked at.
Also used it once to make tacos on the kettles. I used the lid on one kettle and the base on another.
I guess I didn't take pics of the tacos. I was super busy that day

I use this recipe but tweak it a little. I use 1/3 cup sugar instead of 1/4 cup and I use half the oil but add softened butter. Sometimes I'll add a little bacon grease instead of oil. I also use 2 whole eggs instead of one to firm the texture up.
Its a good basic recipe unaltered so you don't have to tweak it. I'm sure it's not as good as age old family recipes if your lucky enough to have some. My family likes it more on the sweet side. I always taste the batter before I bake it. That will let you know right away if the sweetness and flavor will be to your liking.
The cheddar jalapeño version, I do this recipe but mix in finely chopped jarred or fresh jalapeño and shredded cheddar cheese with some reserved to sprinkle on top.
I double the recipe if using a 12" lodge. An 8 or 10 inch skillet is better for a single batch. I spray a cold skillet with cooking spray and pour the batter in and bake it.
The only cornbread anyone makes in my area is jiffy mix. I think homemade blows jiffy mix away and is still really easy.

What rags or towels do you guys use to wipe and season your cast iron? I was using paper towels and vegetable oil. That worked ok but paper towels can leave a little lint even if you can't see it. Using a lint free towel would be ok but then you have to deal with storing and cleaning a greasy towel.
My solution are these American made all purpose disposable rags. I have also switched to crisco for my routine clean and season on the stove top after each use.
These rags come in handy for everything. I keep a box in the house, in the work truck, and in the garage.
They cost $10 for a 200 count box at menards.
That is five cents per use. It's worth it imo.

I've got some newer cast iron pans and they're all bumpy. doing a quick Google I've read that it's actually sand and that newer/cheaper brands don't do the finishing that better companies like Lodge do. my wife got them for cheap at a second hand store, so I can't complain. I'm wondering if anyone here knows what I'm talking about and can advise me how I can do some finishing?
after I wash my pans in hot water, I usually drizzle a drop or two of oil and wipe down with some paper towel. can't do that with these as it actually pulls out fibers from the paper towel and makes a mess. looks like my pans have mold growing all over them.
also, on the side, how many of you use those chain mail clothes to clean your cast iron, when it's got some caked on build up n stuff?
another aside, I'd always previously inherited well seasoned pans, so never needed to season...but these newer pre-seasoned ones still need some help. any recommendations for seasoning solutions? search for that on Amazon and there's way to many results! :P

Most of my cast iron is modern Lodge which has the texture. Once it gets a good seasoning, I actually prefer it to my smooth bottom Wagners, especially when cooking eggs and fish. You can't even see the texture on my cast iron pizza pan anymore.
I knock off the big stuff with chain mail, then use a Lodge 10" scrub brush. After washing, I heat it back up on the stove and put a dollop of shortening in it. Once it liquifies, I give a quick wipe with a paper towel to remove the excess. The only time I have an issue with paper towels leaving lint is when I try to scrub with it. If I'm scrubbing with a paper towel, I didn't do a good enough job washing it.
I always burn off the factory seasoning, then do 2-3 seasoning cycles. I do it outdoors on the gasser and I only use shortening. Everyone has a different method - one of my best friends only uses bacon grease and he doesn't burn off the factory seasoning.

This is my favorite resource for care and maintenance.

And this is my favorite way to smooth cast iron.
https://youtu.be/ljSQrSoSYAE
I have some smooth vintage pieces and rough modern pieces. Both have pros and cons. While I don't find sanding necessary, my favorite is a modern lodge that has been sanded a little to knock down the bumps. Just a couple minutes with a palm sander and 100 grit sandpaper is all that is needed if you want a better surface for wiping out.

Really high heat will do it. I don't worry about it in new pieces.
Used pieces that are gunked up, I use a lye bath, then vinegar bath, then clean and season.

I was by myself this afternoon and had a steak I needed to freeze or eat. I chose the latter of course.
2 minutes each side, 2 minutes in a 450 degree oven, 2 minutes rest. It was delicious.

The Sears pan (from the 80s) was seasoned, just not as well seasoned as the Griswold pan. It may have worked better if it got more use and more seasoning but the reason I don't use it as much is because it's almost twice as thick and heavy as the Griswold. It takes a lot longer to get to temperature vs. Griswold. I think if I would've preheated it before adding the potatoes, it would have been a more even outcome.

I was lucky to acquire a few heirlooms tonight! My mom passed away in 2005 and I had forgotten that she had some cast iron. I use my lodge pieces all the time but hers would be so cool to cook on. I asked my dad if he still had it and he did! Mom did not use it often but she made the best corn bread I've ever eaten. I believe the Wagner was my grandmother's. It needs some mild cleaning and re-seasoning. The little novelty skillet was one of her ashtrays...lol.

It needs some mild cleaning and re-seasoning. The little novelty skillet was one of her ashtrays...lol.

Bought a couple of Wagner waffle irons from eBay recently. One with a short base, the other with a tall base. I think the last time I made waffles was 10 years ago when my cheap Walmart Chinese waffle maker went up in smoke. Pictures are from the auction.

I have a 3rd Wagner waffle maker with wood handles, but it's aluminum. Exact same markings as the cast iron ones. I haven't tried it yet. It didn't come with a base, but fits the cast iron bases perfectly.

Roasted a chicken and made low carb chicken soup. There's something special about making chicken soup from scratch.
I've been experimenting roasting chicken in cast iron. This time i laid some slices of onion down as a trivet and added a splash of water then added the chicken with some salt and pepper. I cooked at 450 for an hour with lid on then twenty minutes lid off. It worked really well. Chicken was fall apart and juicy with crisp breast skin.

Broke out the cast iron tonight for fajitas. Warmed the skillet on the cool side as the grill came up to temp and the flank steak seared off, then traded spaces with the flank steak so I could sauté the peppers & onions. Two cooks in on my first kettle and I think I'm in love.

@Seth1025 how do you strip and season your cast iron? I've got a couple pieces that need it and only managed to muck up my Dutch oven worse than it had been. The seasoning won't adhere; it just flakes off in huge sheets. I want to strip & smooth out my 12" skillet, since it's so bumpy from the factory, but I hesitate to try given my poor results with the Dutch oven.

@PKSullivan I use an electrolysis tank to strip cast iron. It is easy to build and will take old seasoning and rust off the cast iron without damaging the pan. All you really need is a manual battery charger (not a smart charger), a bucket or plastic bin, arm and hammer washing soda (laundry not baking) and an anode (I use a stainless steel bowl from the thrift store). The washing soda makes the water conduct electricity I use a 1/2 a cup per 5 gallon bucket. The red clip goes onto the anode the black clip goes on the pan and the electricity takes the rust and old seasoning towards the anode. The pan then gets a good scrub with bar keepers friend and a stainless scrubber, then a scrub with dawn, but it should come out completely stripped of old seasoning and rust. I currently have an 8" skillet in the tank that has been there for 3 days just bubbling away.
I have used the polishing method with the paint stripper wheel, and also the wire wheel method but found that while it removes old seasoning and rust and will smooth out rough cast iron, the pans are very difficult to re-season afterwards. If I get a pan that is not collectible and I feel is rough, I will use very abrasive sand paper 40-80 grit to remove the roughness but not smooth it out to the point it will no longer take the seasoning. I leave some texture and only remove the roughness. I had to do this with my Craycourt griddles for the Go-Anywhere.
When I get them stripped and cleaned, then it is time to re-season with vegetable oil at 450 for 1 -2 hours in the oven or the Weber Q220 checked with the inferred thermometer. I apply the vegtable oil then wipe off all I can. You want thin coats that can cure. Too thick and it takes longer than the 1-2 hours to cure, gets sticky and will flake off. I usually go 5-6 thin coats of seasoning sometimes up to 10.

Ah, that must be where I went wrong. I really smoothed out the Dutch oven so the oil must not be finding its way into cracks to adhere. I might be able to borrow a battery charger from my dad next time I see him. The rest of the setup is easy enough. I certainly have enough 5 gallons buckets.

@PKSullivan Very thin coats of seasoning help on very smooth cast iron. You could always sand the dutch oven a little, to give it some texture. I have also heard of guys using a vinegar bath to etch the surface but I would look further into that before trying. .

If you have flaking, there must be some surface contaminant. Maybe rust or something else?
Sounds like you might need to strip it. Do you have any pictures?

As far as smoothing a lodge skillet, I don't find it necessary but i have used smoothed one out using 100 grit sand paper and a vibrating sander. Like Seth said you don't need it glass smooth. I only smooth out the peaks. I don't try and sand it down to completely smooth. I scrub with soap and steel wool then season. I also don't find it necessary to strip the entire pan unless I buy a used piece. Then I strip it bare and start over.

@Seth1025 -I've read that some people don't like this method because it will come out with some sort of black stuff on the iron that you need to clean off before it dries. However, I've also read that only happens if there are certain impurities in your water or what you use. I take it you haven't had that problem & the picture is taken as the pan was removed?

@PotsieWeber I have never found it difficult to remove the black sludge and build up after it comes out of the e-tank. This maybe because of the Birmingham City water or because I'm only using a 4 amp charger. The barkeepers friend and stainless steel scrubber requires some elbow grease but nothing too excessive. Usually 5-10 minutes depending on the size of the pan. I have also heard of people using magic erasers after the Bar Keepers Friend and the Dawn while others are not concerned that paper towels still get the back residue on them drying the pan. Here is a site that better explains the black buildup. https://www.metaldetectingworld.com/remove_black_coating_p27.shtml
The picture above was taken after it had been scrubbed. Most pans are not this shiny.

Thank you @Seth1025. From what I read, a lower current is better to prevent as much buildup, so I might try something lower. I also read that deionized water might help, so I might do some test pieces with regular Chicago water & then deionized.
I was thinking about throwing in a plain old black SJ, to see how the porcelain holds up. But, then it occurred to me that if you tried it with a colored kettle that had a bit of cracking, crazing, or whatnot, that if you get any of the black sludge, that may wind up IN the cracks, be difficult to clean & basically make the cracks MORE noticeable. So, I'm thinking more proven methods would need to be used on porcelain, but if anyone has tried electrolysis on a bowl or lid, I'd be interested to hear what happened.

One of my favorite "set it and forget it" cooks, carnitas: pork shoulder, sweet peppers, jalapeños, onions, garlic, S&P, EVOO in a Lodge Dutch oven indirect for 6 hours, and then uncovered and moved over direct to reduce the liquid for about an hour. Once all the liquid is reduced the pork begins to fry in its own oil and begins to crisp around the edges. Served with black beans and rice and then froze the remainder in 1lb portions.

I was a little too slow to get something like that up in Rockford. A "Little Chef" cast iron barbeque of some sort. Wish I had at least saved all the pics, but here is one.

FYI, Right now Lodge has free shipping and also $10 off $50 or more if you sign up for their newsletter. I've been holding out for one of their new carbon steel skillets and this promotion made me pull the trigger.

The surface starts out rough but quickly becomes very smooth from use. I did not alter my surfaces or strip them. I just used the pans. You'll love it.

Showing some love for the @craycort GA griddle which I bought a couple years ago and never got around to using. I warmed up some pulled pork for a sandwich with some mashed potatoes in the basement.
First off, I regret buying only one side instead of two. I like that the elongated slot for the lifter tool is large enough to accommodate the older GA's slanted lid hooks. The regular cast iron craycort grates are not a good fit for the vintage GA's because the hooks impede the lid from a tight fit. The griddle does not have that problem.
This particular accessory is not porcelain-enameled, but the factory seasoning was fine, no sticking at all. The flat griddle side has raised lips around the grease drip holes whereas the grill side does not. I'm not sure whether that difference was intentional or not, but I'm using an old genesis drip tray to catching drippings when using the grill side.
I think craycort is onto something with this accessory. Sweet little add-on to increase the GA's already versatile repertoire. A GA-specific vegetable wok insert would be pretty sweet too.
Thanks for looking.

Another CGA+Craycort cook, this time a simple strip. Made my cross marks and then slid the whole grate over indirect until 135F. Love this setup for grilling one or two steaks.

I forgot about this thread! I recently found this Dutch oven in my parents old camping stuff. In the process of stripping and reseasoning it. This thing is the stinkiest pan I've redone so far! From what I can find out it's an unknown foundry. I've also got 7 or 8 other pans in the lye bath I'm in the process of redoing, mostly to sell. I'll be posting pictures as I finish them!

Got all the rancid gummy oil and rust cleaned off the lid. Still working on the pot, the outside has thicker burned on crud that's being stubborn.

Bsr and Martin don't like that either. Your lid looks like lodge as they usually have pointed drippers. The mystery is the oven itself. Maybe the lid and oven may not be a match?

It's similar to a lodge, especially the baster design on the lid but it's not a lodge. The pan diameter is a little smaller than a lodge. This one measures 10" across, a #8 lodge dutch oven is a little bit bigger. From what I've found out this one is from an unknown foundry.

Finished up the nasty dutch oven I got a few weeks ago, and a 14 inch unmarked Wagner #12. Unfortunately the #12 has some surface pitting.

So I had to break out my collection to see what I could part with to get it, so I thought I would share my collection as I have never taken photos of all of it together!

I've used vegetable oil, canola oil, and vegetable shortening. Temps range from 350-450, and in all cases, my temp was at 1 hour with a slow cool down in oven. Originally cleaned with a coarse steel scrubber pad. The seasoning on the inside side walls is great, but the bottom doesn't seem to hold. I've quit cooking acidic foods and use plastic or wood utensils now which helps a little.

Quote from: Jasonkuse on July 14, 2021, 03:43:36 AMInteresting, I use 450 with most oils, sometimes 500. Less than that and most won't polymerize. As you use the pan the seasoning won't stay black. It will constantly change, maybe post a picture of your pan so we can see what you're working with?

Just got this old gatemark out of the lye tank and gave it a good scrubbing. Still needs seasoned but I think it's going to turn out great!

Quote from: Jasonkuse on July 14, 2021, 03:43:36 AMFrom what I've learned, it's pretty important to start with a clean surface, if there is any old seasoning under your new applications it will never stick. Also another tip to note, is you must surpass the smoke point of the oil that you are seasoning with and to make sure that the coating of oil is very very thin.

From what I've read about different oils for seasoning is the more polyunsaturated fats and higher smoke point in the oil the better. I personally use organic grapeseed oil and bake at 350F for an hour, then increase the temp to 450F and then bake another hour and then turn off of the oven and let everything cool down naturally. 3-6 thin coats should get you right.

Quote from: Jasonkuse on July 15, 2021, 11:50:49 AMYea I think I would start over. Try searching You Tube for "Easy-Off Method". I would recommend 3 rounds of that with a good scrubbing and oven drying before starting the seasoning process.

Is the seasoning not sticking or is it just dull from use? My Wagner and Griswold pans look similar but are quite nonstick.
Sometimes the best solution is to just use it.

The picture is after I scrubbed with an abrasive pad and soap. The seasoning will start to stick after using it, but if I cook something acidic or use metal utensils, it starts to flake off. That's when I scrub and try again.

It looks like you may be scrubbing past the seasoning, leaving it too thin to withstand cooking. There are multiple videos online on how to safely clean cast iron to keep your seasoning intact and to continue building on it with every cook.

You could start over, or you could use the salt, potato skins and/ or onions method with your choice of butter or oil. Plenty of videos on that, but basically you let them fry up in the pan, eventually they burn up and the pan is darker for it. Ditch the steel scrubbing pad.... And vow to never use anything metal to clean it again! Just wipe it out with a paper towel and warm water, drying immediately after. Good luck.

My current daily driver is a #10 wagner Sidney O. I think I paid 60 bucks for it 3 or 4 years ago, sits perfectly flat so I splurged a little bit.
$20 for any big pan is a hell of steal though, congrats on your find!

I've got that wagner #10 and my grail the Griswold LBL #14, but I really want a #12 maybe griswold or wapak? Who knows, if the right deal pops up I will definitely pick one up, but currently I'm running out of space

What's up everyone? Working on seasoning today. I have a smooth bottom Birmingham I'm trying to get seasoned. This is after 2 rounds of canola oil. 350 for an hour and 450 for another hour. First round skillet was upside down, second pass skillet was upright. Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

Let it season the first 30 minutes at 300 then re-wipe with blue, absorbent shop towels, then kick up to high temp the rest of the way.

Well, here's the pan after 3 more runs through the oven. I only use a small amount of oil, 1t, wipe it around with paper towels, and wipe again with new paper towels so I'm not sure how much thinner of a coat I can do. It is not sticky and feels like what I am wanting. The bottom is glass smooth, the outside of pan looks amazing. Once I start cooking I'm worried about it all chipping off.

It was a high of 82F here in Southern LA, but a low of 49F pushing through this evening putting me well within the 65F maximum outdoor temp self imposed to cook a gumbo!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221001/8ad9568c1f675f941d2ee171d195ed38.jpg)

I borrowed a friend's Le Creuset for a weekend to see if I would like the enameled DO. Made gumbo and spaghetti and meatballs. Absolutely love it for it's versatility and heat retention. I wound up buying the 6 quart Lodge enameled DO. I've used it at least a dozen times. I really cannot tell the difference between it and Le Creuset and certainly not the $200+ price difference. Yes, it made in China but I'm very happy with it. Definitely better for the acidic cooks with tomato.

Just an fyi, you can use Barkeepers friend if the inside gets stained, just scrub lightly and try not to get it on the exterior, as it can etch it. Also, be careful not to bang on the rim, the porcelain is susceptible to chipping even from plastic utensils.

My wife made a pot of cabbage soup for me while I had Covid, and in return, I gave her Covid. Nice guy, huh? She also made beef vegetable soup, chicken noodle soup, chili and Amish chicken and noodles in this DO. We use it a lot in fall/winter and it's one of our favorite pans.

It's interesting how enamelled cast iron came up here because I was going to post about some that I bought in the last couple of weeks. Anyways, the local mall has a Homesense across from the grocery store so on a whim, I stopped in before doing the grocery shopping. I picked up a small Le Creuset dutch oven a few years ago that I've never used - I really need to dig it out and start using it - and decided to look at the cookware and saw this nice little 2.2 L braiser among a couple of dutch ovens. I think it might be a factory second but that doesn't matter, I think the reason for second tier status was the colour enamel on the handles where they meet the body of the braiser and the inside surface have some pin spots where the black layer beneath the colours surface shows through. the price was heavily discounted so I bought it because I've enjoyed my Lodge enamelled cast iron quite a bit. Interestingly, it was at the Sears in the same mall that I picked up the Lodge enamelled cast iron at when it was being blown out in 2017 when Sears Canada went under.

I made a potato spiral in it for its first cook and a couple of other dishes since then and really enjoyed it so I started looking around, and came across a sale plus an additional 10% off so I was able to buy a few more pieces at steeply discounted prices that brought it into affordability for me.
One of the other pieces I picked up was a 4.7 L braiser. It's getting it's first cook right now with some braised short ribs:

Thanks!
I had pretty much moved to cast iron from non-stick pans a number of years ago but I've been wanting to expand my collection to cover off a few cooking situations I didn't have covered very well.
There are several reasons why I've been accumulating cast iron cookware whenever I can get it on sale, especially anything that's enamelled like the Le Creuset stuff that I picked up steeply discounted, but two of the big ones are the longevity of the pieces - unless I destroy the enamel, the enamelled cast iron will see me through. Regular cast iron of course can be reseasoned if necessary. The other big one, especially with the sale on Le Creuset I found where a warehouse blowout also had a 10% additional discount on top of it, is to get ahead of inflation. Several steeply discounted Le Creuset pieces now were still expensive but significantly less than paying full retail and with the way inflation is running, full retail or even sale pricing could end up out of reach entirely in two or three years. The other half of it is wage stagnation. 1.5% per year was a slow burn when inflation ran 2-3% but it's been a brutal hemorrhage now that inflation's been somewhere between 6 and 10% for almost two years now, so I've been taking the opportunities to get myself set up with cookware for the long run when I can, while I still can. Similar to how I bought my house while I was still able to afford one.

That's a beautiful display of a beautiful collection. Well done!

I took a grab shot the other day of two colourful Le Creuset pieces, a small braiser and a small dutch oven that were sale and clearance store finds and then I realized I had two more pieces of cast iron on the stove in the background.
I'm trying to think of when I last used a non-stick pan. I have one or two on hand but it's been a number of years now since any of them have been out and on the stove. I should probably donate them.

Yes, it is a No. 12. I also have a No. 10. I looked for quite a while for Griswold or Wagner, I don't think many of them made it all the way to the west coast. Gave up the search and went with Field. The No. 10 is my favorite pan of all time. Before I got the Field No. 12, I had a Lodge Blacklock 12. That was a very nice skillet for the price. But it's nothing like a Field. The No. 12 is a second and I can't find the "defect."

We bought a No. 8 Field as a gift to ourselves during Field's cyber Monday sale, 20% off and free shipping. The maiden voyage was a blueberry clafouitis for Christmas Eve. Amazing pan and the dessert was a huge hit. I love these pans. The grand kids are already jockeying to get them.

Thanks @noreaster. I can't wait to make it again. We have three Fields now and absolutely love them. The lightweight design has allowed my wife to keep cooking in CI. The Lodge stuff was getting too heavy for her to handle safely.
@gringo, that sourdough is mouthwatering!

I've got this old pan . . .
About 15 years ago the Elks Lodge that I belonged to decided sell the property and look for someplace new. We knew that search was going to take a little while, and to save on storage costs, they decided to liquidate a bunch of stuff.
Well, the Lodge had 2 of these big skillets and, as I was one of the main cooks, I inherited one of them.
(https://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/CI-Pan.jpg)
I have no idea how old this pan could be, but I joined that Lodge 37 years ago and it had been there a long time before that. In fact our Lodge is over 120 years old, so who knows it was acquired.
It measures 19½" across the pan and 23½" from the handles. There are no markings on the bottom. Just curious if anyone's seen anything like this or has idea of it's possible lineage.
Thanks in advance !
