Saw this the other day and I'm thinking about ordering one... I have tons of Griswold and Erie cast iron, but for some reason I really think I want to try one out... there's not much selection but they look very nice... anyone tried these out?

Looks awesome. I'd be interested in your feedback. I have one of these and like it, but this link of yours looks better.

me. i can cook just as good in what

shipping to purchase.

for $200 bucks you could buy a good Griswald.

For $200, I could find at least three.

A Griswold #12 for under $200 is unheard of...

Be sure to report when you get it.

the pan mentioned is actually more of a #11 in size, not a #12. You might well have to hunt and peck for a decent Griswald at $200, yes, but that's part of the fun.

this might prove helpful for us

I've got a Griswold #14 I paid $175 for from a private owner that was winning pizza contests with it.

Had to drive 120 miles round trip to get it, but I was extremely happy.

That dude was one of the most eccentric collectors I ever met but boy, did he have some cool stuff.

I just bought a Griswold #12 in excellent condition for $120 the other week. Though I agree they usually sell for a lot more. Nice skillet , I like my old cast iron.

many on dallas craigslist for $80.00
or less. many more to be had in the
second hand stores and flea markets
for $20.00 and less.
my last wagner was free in a stack of
a half a dozen cast iron skillets a
friend and his wife bought at an auction.
they wanted the antique wooden crate they
were in and gave me the cookware. i know they
didn't give over $20.00-$30.00 for the whole
box of junk. all the cookware was u.s.a. and
all were slightly rusty with no pitting.
they can be found at reasonable prices.

That's a score! If it's in good condition that's a $500 skillet...

I'm not asking you guys what you think about the price... I'm asking if anyone has used these skillets and if they were any good...

and I, at least, are saying that no matter how good it is, I'd prefer an old Griswald or Wagner. smile

Seriously, I would not mind handling one of these, and working with it. Seems well made, looks polished, at least a lot more so than a new Lodge or Chinese pan.

Lol I do as well... I collect vintage Griswold and Erie cast iron... I just stumbled across these and thought they looked very well made for modern cast iron...

Looks like nobody here has used one. wink

Have you posed this question on any CI forums?

Cinch, It was in excellent condition. I've used it mostly for sauteeing vegetables, cornbread, and large batches of bacon or sausage when I'm making potato salad, stuffing, or a big breakfast. Really comes in handy around the holidays. Should use it more often than I do. I mostly use my #9, when it comes to day to day.
