Cast Iron

That is an awesome collection and done up in a beautiful setting!

But do they get used...

But do they get used...

My mom is and always has been an avid user to cook with cast iron although she admits they are harder for her to lift now at 80 years of age and health challenges.

Used my aebelskiver pan this morning. Determined it probably needs a couple rounds in the oven before the big batch tomorrow.

Got this today. All it cost me was taking it out out my car.
No clue as to the maker. Only thing I can figure out is that it is pre-1950 because of the heat ring style, and that it is a "chicken fryer" with a "self basting" lid.

Thin walled and smooth, so definitely vintage. In good shape too.



This is the "self basting" feature. Steam is supposed to collect and condensate on the lid and drip from these rings.



No makers mark. This style of heat ring is supposed to put it pre-1950. I don't recognize, nor have I been able to find a similar font used to help identify the maker.

One thing Don. It's literally named after the one thing you're allowed to cook in it.

I don't know...I'm looking at it and thinking, "man, this would be a great way to cook some eggs!"

Giving the new (to me) chicken roaster a run. Got some lemon pepper seasoned breasts in there.

Nice, we've got a fancy French enamel coated version of that type of pan, the self basting feature really does work! We make chicken in it every Sunday.

I'll stop by on my way home from work tomorrow and pick it up. I'll be nice and dispose of it for you.
