My Cast Iron Legacy

I’m excited to share my experience with two treasured cast iron pans that have been workhorses in my kitchen – a 46-year-old beauty and its 90-year-old companion complete with its original lid. These pans are living proof that traditional wisdom sometimes needs updating.

Daily Care Routine

These pans see heavy use – three meals a day, and they perform flawlessly. Here’s my straightforward maintenance approach:

  1. Hot water wash with Dawn dish soap
  2. Thorough towel drying
  3. Season once every decade (yes, you read that right!)

Breaking the Myths

Despite popular beliefs against using soap and water, my pans tell a different story. They’re perfectly non-stick – eggs slide right out, and nothing adheres to the cooking surface. The proof is in the decades of successful cooking.
