In the garage we found 3 cast iron skillets, an 8", 10" and 12". They were rusted and dirty. I told my husband I wanted them. My son said, "Mom, those are gross. Just throw them away." I told him to give us a week and see what he thought. We cleaned them up and did a six coat seasoning of flax oil. They look brand new, even better than some of the new stuff we have found. (we season all new stuff too, even it if says preseasoned. lol) My son didn't believe they were the same ones we found. We absolutely LOVE cast iron. Love the way it cooks and how food tastes. This is a great recipe.

She passed away at 75 years of age and the skillet became my father's. I'll have to ask if she was the one who purchased it originally and when. The best part - it has history. We can cook with it and feel a family tie across the years.

My first frying pan. It is still in use, with my ex. I kept the small & large one, he got the middle sized one. I only gave it to him because we split on good terms. <br /><br />Made in North America cast iron cookware can still be found in thrift stores for a very reasonable price. They are great. They do become a tad heavier when you get older but I like to think of it now as my weight training exercise. If I can lift the frying pan, I'm good to go. <br /><br />Cast iron cook ware is still being made by Lodge in the U.S.A. & can be found in some specialty stores. They make great gifts & something someone can keep forever. No need to use those plastic lined frying pans, they just wear out & need to be replaced. when those came on the market I was always a little leary about the coating coming off so I stuck with my cast iron frying pan & have saved a lot of money over the yrs.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-66731810815822088702011-05-27T00:32:07.750-03:002011-05-27T00:32:07.750-03:00Geneviève,

We have replaced it with a large,deep cast iron pan with a lid....in the ordering info they called it a "multi-purpose" pan (in French it translated as "fait tous" which sounds cooler) and we really do use it for everything. You can save a little energy too because it retains heat so well. Plus, I get in some weight lifting when I take it in and out of the cupboard! :-D Keep blogging! It's good to get encouragement from a sensible voice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
