Hello Seasoned CI Vets!

[MPachecoIII]

Hi, I've recently found the joy of cast iron cooking. Despite what my Mom told me about staying away from CI, I'm jumping in, about 30 years late, but still doing so. I remember going into antique stores and flea markets when they couldn't price it low enough to sell. Now that I know how to care for it, I'm going to start looking for older, smoother pieces that I can use and then pass on. I joined to expand my knowledge of CI beyond the basics.

Welcome, Your line....

antique stores and flea markets when they couldn't price it low enough to sell.

Rings a bell with me. Growing up around flea markets since I was 8-10 years old, I saw TONS of those old rusty, dirty pans, pots, etc... I didn't care, through my 20's and 30's I collected other "better" things. Hmm 15 years later and I wish I would have picked up all that old iron for pennies on the dollar. I could be the king of rare iron on ebay and retire!
