Ladies and guys. I need some ideas. I’m a cast iron lover and as the home cook I use a piece or two everyday. I’m not a collector but have accumulated at least 200 lbs of quality iron over the years. Eighty percent of it gets used at least yearly and the rest are high end antiques. Many of the pieces have 30 to 70 years of to die for seasoning so I would never consider stripping or reseasoning. The more carbon, the prettier they are and the better they cook.
As I’m now 69 I can foresee the day that I will die or quit cooking. I don’t know anyone to leave my iron to that would appreciate it. I’m in N. GA, NOT on Facebook and my best bet is a 10 yo step-granddaugher in Sweden - hard to mentor & not ready for the load yet.
I hope they don’t get sold on eBay, get sold at an estate sale, sit on a shelf or get destroyed by an ignorant cast iron newbie. The 1880 Griswold waffle irons are not up to a trip through the dishwasher. I do hope they all get used to cook as they were meant to be.
Do you have an idea as to how I could find a person “to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death…….” my cast iron for the next 50 years?
Thanks,
Hilditch
