Hello, Jennifer here, from Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada. I am delighted to have become a member here.
I don't consider myself a collector so much as an appreciator of cast iron. I love to use it and prefer the vintage items because I really dislike the modern sand cast type finish on new ware. I have no particularly good reason for not liking the new stuff, it works well enough, I just don't like the stuff. It might be my age, at 62, all of my cast iron is from when I first married.
It was most fortunate I found this site when I did!! I have been in the process of cleaning and preparing to re-season my 2 favorite skillets and about to give up on oven cleaner after 4 days. I was just about to pop them into my self cleaning oven when I read to "Not do that", here. They are back under oven cleaner.
That's about it for me. Happy to be here.
