passed on a 10 in skillet today at the second hand store. was 6.99. do i now get banned or should i go shoot myself ?
I am a Griswold man, myself,
CD
Griswold is my preferred CI too,
My brother-in-law gave me his #7 Griswold pot with, handle, lid and a strainer plate in the bottom. He said it is 50+ years old.
My son saw one like it in a antique shop for $175
Ebay had one for $140
I'll bet that strainer in the bottom is a trivet that you sit the pot on so you don't burn your table.
To stop the rust, heat the pan up and get it dry, then lightly coat with oil. This will keep the rust away.
I have several Griswold and Wagner pieces. Those are much higher quality than any that you can find in a store today. Those back then were mad by hand and then ground down for a very fine smooth surface, not like the Lodge crap from today or even 30 years ago. My favorite is my Wagner nickel plated chicken fryer. The lid also doubles as another pan! These are pretty rare. Its is the bottom one in the pic. I have many more than shown in the pic, so many that these have to sit on top of the stove, because i have no more room for them! All of them are 70+ years old and i have a couple that are 90+
