I like #10's
- Thread starter KenK
- Start date
personally I like Wagner's a little better
That is my favorite looking one. :bow:
JMoss,
I had planned on going to canton this spring, unfortunately now I'll have to wait till fall when it's a little cooler. I had went many years ago and look forward too going again.
Also I had sent you a PM about your Dutch ovens a week or so back. It may of got lost in the shuffle.
To keep on topic of # 10 skillets I had talked to a old friend the other day and CI came up. He said he had a large one at home somewhere and look for me. From his description it's bigger than a #8. I might get lucky and get a nice vintage user.

My Favorite Piqua Ware #10 is my personal favorite skillet. Every time I get it out to use I can picture how many wonderful things must have been cooked in it over the years. By the way, I have realized that its external condition would send it to many people's cleaning tanks, but I frankly refuse to mess with it other than to wash it carefully after every use! The interior of the pan is perfect in my humble opinion, and I don't trust myself not to mess it up if I tried to refinish it!
No Sidney so a little older - Try a BSR Century #10 if you think you'd like the size of a #11 as the lid on the Century actually came to me via this and it was a perfect fit I find a #12 a little too big and heavy as well unless I can come across a Favorite Block logo #12. I saw one down in Florida over the holidays and it was as light as most #10's. The shop wanted way more than I wanted to pay but I'm on my lookout for a set. I had a #8 and it weighed in a 3 lbs. 2 oz. Warped because it was so thin as was that #12 but....

I see those #11s on ebay once in a while, but not at the prices I want to pay! I was lucky on my #10 from ebay. Paid a whole $10.50 and shipping was only about $15. For some reason I was the only bidder on it. I don't get lucky like that very often.
I've given away 3 BSR #10s. Excellent skillets, but heavier than I want to deal with.
