Re: Grooved Handle Griswold
The reason the blue book lists a No.10 grooved handle skillet is because I had included on in my skillet chart in the 1980s Cast Iron Cookware News I published. That is too long ago to remember all...

Re: Corning & Goewey
Bill, does your skillet rock on the bottom gate mark or do the small tit feet keep the pan level? I have the same pan and it rocks. A beautifully made and light skillet, yours is only the second I...

Re: Gem Pan...just asking for opinions..
I have had a number of those French Roll No.11 pans and never considered them to be Griswold. Yours looks to be marked No.12 but I think I would occasionally see them marked 12 instead of the more...

Re: Scotch Bowls
A No. 5 Scotch Bowl is the largest I have seen and have a No.1 Scotch Bowl, probably the smallest but, mostly, No.2 is the smallest.

Griswold's "Silverlike" finish
Hi Doug,
I was reading a page on your site where it says "Griswold's "Silverlike" was a matte, unpolished chrome finish. Wagner's "Silverlite" appears to have been the same."...

Re: Griswold #6 Tite-Top Dutch Oven
Maybe the pot was used to cook acidic foods like spaghetti sauce, etc. that caused some pitting. The whole pot and cover are, or were, in a state of strange coloring, paint?, and sanding? marks on...

Re: 3 spout Griswold
Very rare. There are maybe three known now and at least one or two are cracked including the one posted yesterday. They are a wonderful curiosity. Lodge made a few three lipped skillets also.

Re: Trying to identify this skillet.
Old skillets are ageless; they go on cooking and pleasing the cook and cooking that which pleases out stomachs and eyes. I regularly use two Vose & Co. skillets made in Albany somewhere between 1848...

Re: Very interesting 2 piece skillet & grill
I can see cooking steaks in your skillet/grill. You could cook one side in the pan then flip over and grill the other side of the other way around. Read the patent carefully then go experiment. ...

Re: Favorite Utensils?
I have always used an old metal spatula on my skillets with no problems. I don't use a knife to cut anything in the pan. The spatula seems to smooth out the surface if anything.

Re: Need Help Waffle Iron
c.1860s as my guess. The 8 9 are size markings to denote that the waffle iron is made for both a No. 8 and a NO. 9 stove.

Looks mid 30s and into the 40s maybe. Would have had a smooth high dome cover or the same the the TM on top of the cover.
