BilletHead Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Nice again John! Show and tell day I suppose . Just finished restoring. Lodge three notch #5 circa 1940s to 1960s. Then Pie logo Wagner #3 circa 1915 to 1920. Really happy with this purchase. The Lodge I will sell or trade and the Pie will keep!

BilletHead Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Lets take that pie logo for a test run. Heat up that dude a little and then a dab of oil or fat. In this case goose fat. when heated up in goes the egg and some S&P. Then a flip. Then onto a plate. No sticking. Yellow still liquid and a bit of crisp white. Just like I like. Paper towel wipe up. Passed the test.

Nuts? Cast iron is softer than stainless steel. I would expect the shot to pit the pan. I would live to see what it looks like if you did that already.
Johnsfolly Posted May 16, 2020 Posted May 16, 2020 My no name #7 skillet after the first pass with oven cleaner. Probably needs two or three more treatments.

A couple more soaks with the oven cleaner got rid of the last bit of carbon off the no name #7 skillet. Seasoned with four coats of vegetable shortening. Now we just need to use it and build its seasoning for years to come. BilletHead and Daryk Campbell Sr 2

BilletHead Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 So I picked up four more pieces this weekend. One piece Saturday on a foray hoping I could find the hammered lid. We made quite the circuit looking for just thinking it would happen. Nada Oh well did find a gate marked gem pan. Circa sometime in the 1800s maybe in the earliest 1900s. No markings but a 3 on back of handle. So today we got a lead on some other pieces. Three in one place. A #8 SBL (small block logo) Griswold. Then a Lodge pre 60s Dutch oven lid. I have the bottom in a previous find, Lastly a Griswold Corn Bread Pan, Circa 1920s -1940s. I'm pretty excited about getting these restored. As soon as I get my unmarked Wagner Dutch oven out of the E-Tank I will get a couple of these in there. Will report as I get them finished so you all can see the transformation. I swore i was not going to do anymore Gem/ Corn bread or stick pans if it wasn't a cheap buy. Here I go again.

Terrierman Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 If I just had to blast clean a cast iron pan, it would be soda blast or nothing.
