I am 71 years young and my cooking experience involves soup and hamburger helper. I never touched a cast iron pan in my life. Then one day I found a Griswold waffle iron in a Value Village for 25 bucks. I though..."what the hay..." Soon I was cooking delicious wafffles. Next visit to the store I bought a samll logo Griswold skillet. I could barely see part of the circle it ws so encrusted with grease. It was only $7.99 so I took the plunge. I got cleaning and seasoning tips on Youtube and it turned out good as the day it was manufactured (between 1939 and 44). I keep cruising 2nd hand stores but cast iron stuff is rare. I broke down and ordered a $15 #3 matching Gris on ebay. Guess I got the bug now. Wife has caught me cooking twice now! I though I would join this website to learn more.
