Re: Removing Stubborn Carbonization?
Thanks a bunch, Doug. The EPU eventually got completely de-carbonized using the tips in the link. A Wapak Z ended up being a bit more complex due to the typical rough/bumpy casting, although I was...

Re: Search Ideas
My experience with Goodwill, at least in my area, is that pretty much everything there is total garbage. I'll mostly see modern-day dirty used Lodge skillets for close to the asking price for new on...

Re: What's Your Favorite Pan for Cornbread?

Re: Collecting Vs Using
Doug,
Thank you so much. This is extremely helpful. I was in the mindset of Lodge vs Le Creuset vs Milo. Never even realized Cuisinart has an enameled dutch oven, will look into it.

Re: Collecting Vs Using
How many of you folks are into the smaller skillets? If you are, do you actually use them for cooking or mainly for display? From my perspective at least, most vintage is so light that the smallest...

Re: Collecting Vs Using
Lately, I like to try and use every piece in my CI and CS collection at least once every 3 months or so. However, this isn't strictly necessary as everything is put away "dry" and not oiled after...
