Hello All,
I'm in the process of trying to restore my grandmother's aebleskiver pan, and in the process was wondering what its age might be. I've checked this website's articles on dating cast iron pieces, but they seem to apply mostly to skillets. My pan is a Griswold. On the bottom, with the handle at 6:00, it's stamped Griswold at about 9:30, Erie PA at about 3:30, the number 962 is just above the handle, and the cup bottom at 11:00 says No and cup bottom at 1:00 says 32. The Erie PA is in plain block letters, no quotes.
And if I can be greedy here with my questions, I also noticed that the pan's fire ring does not sit flat on my glass cooktop burner. I'd say the one side rests about 3/8" above the surface. Does anyone know how much that will effect its cooking ability?
Thanks so much for any help you can offer.
