I could care less what one chooses to spend their money on. Me either. I have a 100-year-old Griswold #14 that I paid $175 for many years ago. You can't even find them anymore. If you do, you'll be looking at about $1,100. I cook my breakfast on a Griswold #10 every morning. A #14 would be nice to have. I do have a Bayou Classic 12" cast iron skillet, though. Didn't pay anywhere near $400.00 for it. Less than $50.00, in fact. Does that make it total junk? Probably made out of radioactive Chinese cast iron. Griswold #10 is a nice size. I've got a 9, 2 8's, a 6 and a 4. Would like to get a 10 or a 12.

None of my business at all on how folks spend their money. But when they show up with triple overpriced schit like this it sure is good for a chuckle at their expense by anybody that halfway knows the actual value of something & not impressed with the look at me effect.

I could care less what one chooses to spend their money on. You could, or couldn't? No idea of the brand name of any of mine, but they work and they were no where near that expensive. Love me that cast iron!

By the time you buy a cooler and a fry pan you have no money left for any food

Love my vast collection of cast iron. It includes my grandmother’s Griswold “10 used mostly for cornbread, Dutch oven, 2 biscuit pans, chicken fryer with lid, various other skillets, cornbread muffin cast segmented and 2 that are shaped like ears of corn. Missed up and left my Dad’s extra large skillet at a hunting camp that I used to belong to. Use one of the biscuit pans to broil catfish or salmon filets on nearly every other day. Picked mine up over the years at thrift and pawn shops, yard sales and shared with the sons and DILs. Can’t find the large griddle I use to use with the Coleman stove while camping. Love to bring pieces back to life.

I'll stick with my griswold's, (especially the "Erie" version). We use them every day and I have sets put together for the kids for when they move out. I've never paid anywhere close to $400 for one. Of course I only live about 20 miles from where they were made, too.

Back in 2003 I was with a buddy fishing down in Islamorada FL. We caught some fish and got the idea to cook them up that night. We were in a Winn Dixie store picking up some stuff and we were going to buy a cheap pan to cook the fish in. They had a Lodge deep sauté pan with a lid On sale for $12. I bought the pan. Dang was it rough inside. I started using it for deep frying. In a few years it got seasoned good and now is really smooth. I use it now to reverse sear ribeyes. It works great. I doubt many of us care how a fella spends his money but it is fun to poke a little fun at some crazy things other people do.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

It's all where one wants to spend what they earn.
Their $$, none of my business.

You can really find some overpriced stuff if you go looking for it. Several years ago I checked on Amazon for some fireplace irons to go in my Buck Stove insert. There was a listing for some repurposed I beams made into fireplace irons for something like $500 or $600. The ad admitted what the material was.

$50 for the pan. $350 for the YETI brand. I think I can top Yeti with a hipster line of cast iron pans - engraved with "6.5 Creed" on the bottom and comes with a bottle of beard oil......
