Traditionals and Cast Iron Cookware

About a month ago I got an email from Lodge, in it was featured a 12" deep skillet with lid (aka "chicken fryer") at a price I was willing to pay - delivered via UPS and taxes cost $69.00. I like the modern high-end cast iron and the old Wagner, etc., but not at $350.00 to $500.00 worth! I always season in the oven with grapeseed grease or oil and then start cooking with bacon (top picture is first use on 5/8/26). Then I seasoned it in the oven one more time, followed by onions and skillet burgers a few nights later. This one is now seasoned and working here at home, the old one, a 10" Lodge deep skillet, is now stationed at our weekend trailer on the coast. Got a 12" standard skillet at both places and a deep skillet at both places. Life is good in the cast iron department.

Way to go. Taking your time to season properly and getting all the benefits later on. The old " Less Is More " theory. 👌 👌 👌
 
Because I wasn't thinking about it at the time, there's no pics, but I cooked up a yellow onion with some jalapenos in ground beef with some seasoning. Threw in some mixed veg. Bachelor chow. Tasty and no longer hungry. Not exactly photo worthy though. The kind of meal that tastes far better than it will ever look. Plenty of leftovers for lunch. No higher than medium heat on my electric stove for my cast iron.
