Had a 15" Lodge CI skillet that fried up so much fish and been packed on too many hunts to count. Heating it up for deer heart over a turkey burner a couple years ago in hunt camp, and she cracked all the way through. I was even careful as it was a gradual warmup. Just aged I guess, pan was 20+ yrs old...Replaced it with a Lodge preseasoned 15" carbon steel skillet. I've really grown to like it. Same cooking properties. Half the weight. Faster heat up. Easier to clean. I really need to buy the 12" CS skillet and cut the handle down to fit into my Breville oven. I use a 12" CI multiple times a week, and this would allow me to do a much more thorough comparison.

djb Campfire Regular D Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,939	I have a 12' round Griswold griddle that I decided to completely strip back and then re-season. I have literally been trying for a year to get it back to 'egg frying' seasoned. I am failing and can't figure out why. All my fry pans just cook a couple batches of cornbread and are GTG. I have done very thin coats of coconut and grapeseed oil upside down for 1 hr at 400 and cannot get it to season. Any griddle specific hints? The truth angers those whom it does not convince

Just looked at the old link sse posted and seen Local Dirts #14. Can’t touch those things at much less than $1000 these days. As for hw you keep cast clean, I simply wash mine when hey need it. Crud build up doesn’t equal seasoning.

Probably the worst thing you can use, learned that the hard way. stop getting advice off Pinterest from hippy chicks guys! For the fun of it here’s a few you don’t often see. Favorite “Scotch bowl “ and a Griswold “Yankee bowl” they’d be more useful with lids, but they didn’t make them with lids.

None of my black CI is chinee. sse gives me crapola because I bought a Lodge enamel DO. Those are made in virus land, but to Lodge specs. Very differenter from schit companies that import crap chinee CI. If you take the time it takes, it takes less time. --Pat Parelli American by birth; Alaskan by choice. --ironbender
