cast iron
Riverrat:
Just a quick question. I have gotten into collecting and restoring cast iron cookware. along with cooking with it. How many on the forum is into this if any. I have set up lye baths and electrolysis tanks to clean and restore iron. There is a guy who makes crisbee to seeason pans with beeswax and lye is used in soaps so may be a good descussion for us keeps posting and active on the board

I have collected some to use and hang on the wall,I cook mostly with cast iron.
I now just look for ones to upgrade what I have but I am cheap,so many times I pass on the nice ones.
I have a friend that cleans out houses and every once in a while he finds some, I have him save them now for me because
he was taking them to the recycling plant,he thought they were worthless.
Some Day:
Just like bringing cast iron cookware back from the dead I am bring back this long dead thread.
I find it satisfying to cook waffles in a 100 year old Griswold cast iron waffle iron. The older Griswold, Wagner, and Volrath skillets are great to cook in also.

We use one or two to cook with, one is old passed down through the family but has always been in use so there has been no need for restoration.
Lastfling:
My last purchase was a griddle - advertising piece. I got it at a yard sale for $1. It was in great shape, so it appeared, but has now been relegated to wall hanger status as it has about a 6" hairline crack 3/4 way across the bottom.
