Cast iron appreciation thread

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!

Thank you @cdp8. It's all my daughter's doing. When I saw the Dutch Ovens w/ bread I immediately thought of this thread.   She's a beast in the kitchen and makes everything from scratch. Spent this week with her for the holidays.

Your clafouitis would be devoured at her house!!! Thanks for sharing!

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. 



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 !
