Sure would like to see a review on this if you get the chance. Did you buy pre-seasoned? No sir. Plan to do so myself. I'll be glad to report on it. There are also several reviews on YouTube.com

I've moved to cast iron and I really like using it. One thing that I can not make correctly is scrambled eggs. They don't stick bad but they do stick. I use a good amount of bacon grease in the pan when making them but I must be doing something wrong.
Any tips?
Bearcat, eat them eggs sunny side up, they way they's sposed t'be et!  Geno PS, joking here, I'd go with the method suggested of letting them get cooked at least halfway thru before mixing up alot. PPS but.......... lookin' at ya is really the proper way to eat them cackleberries.  I eat my eggs sunny side up or over easy. Scrambled is for the wife I have a similar one........................likes 'em over..........................overdone! Geno PS, probably can't get away for long telling her "this ain't Burger King, you can't have them your way"  No, I'd say I'd wear my 10.5" griddle as a hat if I got too mouthy. 
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

Sure would like to see a review on this if you get the chance. Did you buy pre-seasoned? I bought one when they first started shipping. The one I ordered was pre seasoned, $88. Seems well built, very slick inside, good handles, heavy=good. I use it for frying steaks. I really like it, it comes with a vegetable puk, it works also. I would buy again. I have not cooked anything else, so my experience is limited.

Compadre and his wife bought a big stack of assorted cast iron skillets a while back. I think he got 'em at the feed store. Someone walked in with em. They told me to pick out the one I wanted. Picked out a "Favorite, #8 Piqua Ware". I believe its a pre-1935 mfg. Very nice pan! Cleaned it up a bit and used it this morning for elk sausage and eggs!! Worked great. Pics shortly.

Thats a nice pan!
The best method I have found with cast iron is to cook with the damn things.
Use some grease. Clean em once in a while and repeat.

I'd give you $10 and a bottle of cheap tequila for it Bob.
Nice find. Good guys do get lucky once in awhile.

(I think I mentioned that earlier in this thread :D). This was just a nice old pan! Owl, very allergic!!! tequila makes me break out in handcuffs. Wabi, you a man after my own heart! Next to peach cobbler, I'm an apple pie man too!! I think you've seen the pic!!! ![[Linked Image]](https://s5.postimg.org/4wq5qqb5z/IMG_3202.jpg)

Growing up in the '50s most meals were prepared in cast iron on an oil stove. Lots of wintertime meals were a hearty beef stew with a crust made with lard in a dutch oven. Brings back memories of many good meals, my Grandmother was Dutch and she prepared most of the family meals.

That skillet looks dutch-oven deep. I like those because they don't splatter grease as bad as your typical frying pan. One's sitting on the range right now.

Yes. The newer Lodge pans are rough as a cob. I think they crack them out of a sand mold and ship them. Got one for free and I'll have to do some grinding before even starting on that one.
Just keep cooking, rinse out (not scrub) with hot water, grease it up for storage, and it will eventually come around. Even at their best though, they will never be the equivalent of Teflon.

My Grandmother had a small Griswold that she only cooked eggs in that need no grease and eggs would slide right out. It was from the 1930’s though and probably never had water touch it in 60 years. One of my cousins took it right after she passed. 😡

Bought Lodge deep skillet and shallow skillet that can be a lid/top . It was already lightly seasoned , used per directions and they wouldn't get slick black like my Grannys old pans . Did some research - more than one innerwebber expert said grind off old seasoning - went to lowes depot got grinding wheel - ground down inside to bare metal and smooth seasoned it - put in oven per directions - came out -ok- . Used it cleaned it according to directions , starts getting black/well seasoned then seasoning peels here and there . Do more research ''always use solid'' like lard they mean -had been using olive oil . Used crisco lard to season the damn thing 2-3 times a week --fighting it -- I bought the things to cut down on dishwashing -why am I fighting these skillets . Not heating it up too hot or too fast . not getting them wet - no soap of coarse . I have them in the oven right now on 375* waiting for the hour to pass - any help/advise to keep me from turning them into steel shooting plates . Lodge iron just isn't up to par with the old stuff, I buy all my cast iron from the cast iron guys, decent prices, shipping is included. https://castironguys.com
