You mean, did she use the exact same model to kill somebody over the head with? 😀

Yes. I'll only buy a frying pan if it's endorsed by the estate of Harriet Tubman.
 
There was a thread awhile back on cast iron pans.

Those are cheapies, the good'ens are so smooth on the inside a match can't be struck on it to light the burner 🙂

I got a full set from my pop, many moons ago.

Give it time and these cast iron pans will become like that. Of course, you're looking at 10-20 years of use probably.

Cast iron is king. The only disadvantage is they're not always big enough in diameter.

Yeah, you have to season a cast iron pan, but you only do it once. They usually come with instructions, however, they state to use an oven at 350°, which is too "cold". Even the people at Lodge admit 500° is better, but they don't want people freaking out if their pan starts to smoke at that temperature.

He hasn't even posted in the thread.
 
I have that 12" skillet with lid.

Cast iron is the ONLY viable alternative to charcoal grilling 😀


George Forman? Blech!
 
I have a couple cast irons. I'll keep using my non-stick teflon for my primary cooking needs.
