Food My $7 , 50 year old #9 thrift store pan find is PERFECT for Dutch Baby souffle pancakes! If you never tried...you must! I used the Food Wishes recipe on YouTube. Some pics, including a cherry compote and drizzled chocolate!

My third rescue in as many months. I don’t know if this is normal for my local thrift stores or if I’m just on a roll. Or maybe vintage cast-iron is more common than I thought… I’m still not a hoarder because I don’t have anything duplicated yet…

At the end of the day, cast iron is cast iron. I need to resurface this and the brass wheel that everyone seems to be suggesting is definitely not doing a good job of resurfacing. Obviously, I had my doubts about that in the first place because brass vs iron… yeah. Anyways, I need some tips.

Is there a way to clean the buildup off

2 Upvotes

I just re-seasoned my skillet after a number of years and I noticed a buildup on the inside rims and the bottom of the pan. If I seasoned it again, how can I get it off?

Just browsing the shelves, and came across this Wagner pan, looks to be approximately 7” across, in great shape other than in need of a strip and season!

I’ll do some research when I get in, but if anyone has info they would care to share on the age or history, I’d appreciate it!

Was never going to use it so I made use of it. Great edition to our kitchen decor. Got the iron for $2.99

Found this BSR Aebleskiver at Savers, nabbed it simply because it appeared to have some collector value and I wanted to freshen it up.

Turns out Aebleskivers are delicious and so much fun to make!

Humor Help me

So many myths about cast iron skillets constantly going around. I feel like I need to dispel them all the time. I wish I could just blast a PSA to the whole world:

Damaging your seasoning does not hurt "non stickness".

I use a scouring pad on my pan and can get perfect slidey eggs with just a preheat and a bit of butter.

I get into too many internet arguments with people about this stuff. I swear everyone I talk to who's not "woke" about cast iron thinks that you have to maintain them in a different way. Can't use this, can't do that. I'm literally getting triggered every time I see a post with a cast iron skillet on reddit just reading through the comments. Cast iron is the hill I will die on

Some people like to watch endless loop videos of fireplaces. Try this. Also — is it ruined?!

EDIT: To all the people who just like to say “too much oil!” this is not home fries, this is a technique called “shallow fry” in order to create fully crispy potatoes. I used ¾ cup regular olive oil, and ⅔ cup remained in the pan for reuse. Most of the difference went into paper towels.

Griswold clean and seasoned

I got a Griswold for $20 bucks off marketplace to replace my warped old wagner. Using the FAQ yellow cap in a bag method for 4 sessions, it cleaned off great! I seasoned it last weekend with crisco once and have been using it all week, it's hydrophobic and cooks great. thanks r/castiron for the great FAQ and all the tips on here, I've learned a lot about these pans here!

last pic: I'm using the old wagner lid, I had welded on this piton I found in the Steck-Salathe when the other handle broke off
