My 10" Skillet is over 55 years old , got it when I was in the Boy Scouts, I was the troop cook! Because I was the only one that could cook.

Thought bump this thread on the iron skillet. The best one for cooking is the Lodge skillet.

Lodge is good stuff and most of their stuff is made in USA. Some of the enamel stuff is unfortunately china.
Im interested in trying their steel frying pan. Sane idea as cast iron just thinner and lighter.

My best cast irons have come from garage sales. The old Griswold or Wagner Ware.
You strip em down to bare gray iron and start over.

The best thing about old vs new is they took the extra time to smooth the cooking surface back then. The newer Lodge is rough as sandpaper and all that much harder to get non stick.

My wife has a bunch of cast iron stuff and she can cook the best Fried Chicken and pancakes in her skillets. That is prolly the reason I,m slightly puggy LOL

Cracker Barrel still sell iron skillets.

 

[donna]

They (Cracker Barrel) have some Iron Skillet cook books too.

In the 19th century everybody cooked with an iron skillet.today in the south I do believe it may still be the frying pan of choice, as fried chicken seems to taste better when fried in one, also sausages, bacon and even my wife likes to make Shepard s pie in one.

The iron skillet and Dutch Oven are to cooking (campfire or stove) what the Bessemer Furnace was to steel making.

Yep, I own two. I call them my sticky pans. A regular light coating of oil keeps them in tip top condition. I wouldn't know how to cook without one.

 

[jgoodguy]

I like them because they can survive my cooking.

My ribbed pan takes a beating when I cook my Ribeyes on it. I start on the stove then finish in the oven. Seasoned steaks seared on the stove then finished off in the over can make a mess. It's worth the clean up.
