I have many memories of mom when I pull out her cast Iron skillets. Mom has been gone since 2002. I learned to “fry taters” in her big skillet and bake a small mess of corn bread in her little iron skillet and drooled over her pineapple upside down cakes which also won many a cake walks. Thing is her iron skillet was her mom’s and previously her mamie’s. I hope they last a while longer. The love and good cooking she put into her food was well known by her church folk and even her doctors got a cake on thier birthdays. I miss her so much sometimes. But… I have her memories and her iron skillets. Any of the cooking and bakin’ skills I have now is because of mom and those first lessons cooking in her iron skillet.

I wish I could use a real cast iron skillet – I have one that is coated on the outside purchased that way due to having a glass cooktop stove – I have been warned never to use a regular cast iron skillet on the top as it damages it.

WOW, 1900! I bet that is one of your most prized possessions. I would love to see it sometime. If you happen to follow me on Facebook I would love it if you could post a picture of it sometime. I am so impressed. Of course I love antiques and heritage.

My skillets all came from Mom, and Grandmother. I have one that Grannie’s broke and is welled back together. It was one of the first skillets she got as a newly wed in 1900.
Everyone that is afraid of “Seasoning” Don’t be. You can not hurt cast iron; if it gets sticky wash really well grease with crisco and put in 250 oven for 2-3 hours on a cookie sheet. Comes out brand new.
Cornbread, fried anything and the best pineapple upside down cake you can make comes from this one pan.
Born and raised in Alabama and could not live without my skillets!!

I have my grandma’s cast iron skillet that is only used to make cornbread (and sometimes fried eggs). I have a friend who unknowingly used her husband’s grandma’s skillet to cook something else in and he told her in no uncertain terms that it was only for corn bread!!! We still laugh about it. I love mine!!

Don’t know if you have a Cracker Barrel restaurant near but they sell seasoned cast iron and have a very nice selection usually behind the cashiers on your way out.
