Re: Observation: seasoning of cast iron skillet
I don't understand the "etch it" part. Haven't heard of that before, have never done that. Don't use vinegar at all unless I need to remove rust without an e-tank. Just a good water rinse during...

Re: Corroding Anode
That is exactly what I needed to know! Thanks, Jack. I'm surprised because I'd think that ferrous wire would add too much resistance. Someone else suggested clothes hanger wire... I guess that's...

Re: Corroding Anode
Yes, that is the problem, but I don't (or, didn't) know how to attach to the anode without submerging the clip. The SS plate that I was using didn't touch bottom, so I just clipped to it and let it...

Corroding Anode
How do you attach your charger's positive terminal to the anode in your t-tank? The copper clip on mine has almost entirely eroded away. Yes, it has been below the surface of the washing soda...

Re: #11 Wapak Indian
I think that a #11 is much more scarce. I paid $80 for my #8, and that is a pretty common size (of course, maybe I overpaid, but not from what I've seen)

I was at the St. Paul (MN) State Fairgrounds flea market last weekend, and a guy there had a #11 Wapak Indianhead skillet in very good condition. The Indian was a bit worn, but not at all bad. I...

I have made a multi-onion soup that sounds almost exactly like DougD's and it was delicious. You want to go very low and slow on your onions. That's what brings out the sweetness. I also agree...
