I'll try to remember to bring it to the gathering this fall.  I'm sure they are fine for cooking over open flame.

Probably someone with a gas stove could use it.

Do you have the Academic Sports store in your area?

If yes...go there and look in the grilling dept (of all places) and pick out the cast iron pieces you want.  They most likely have 'em stacked on the shelves.  They do at our store.

Did you try Canadian Tire? If I remember, these are very similar to our Fleet Farm stores...

Never heard of academic sports.

I looked at canadian tire but no lodge and one kitchenaid skillet 10" and one 14" made by world famous?

Took less then 8 min to reach 700* on the stove lol...

When I got it home I ran hot water over it with a plastic sponge then dried it with a towel and very lightly sprayed it with pam. Thats what the lodge paper told me to do...



I think my first cook with it will be some steak. I plan on cooking steak on the Rec Tec at 225* until it reaches about 120ish* inside then letting it rest for a few minutes. Then I will place it in the lodge which is pre heated and let it cook for about 90sec each side. After that I will let it rest again and eat....I think this is reverse searing...

You will notice the finish on your skillet is a little grainy, it improve with seasoning and cooking. The older Lodge was more finely cast and not as "grainy". Again if you are at antique stores or flea markets or yard sales and see a skillet labeled like yours on the bottom with SK10 and USA, it is about 90% a Lodge and is going to be more smooth and finely cast. After many years of cooking and good care, your skillet will be jet black and as smooth as a baby's bottom. Bacon is your friend when you have new cast iron. Cook bacon over and over. Cook it, then clean it out, rub some light oil then reheat, then cool down. Do that over and over.

I'm with Ken - cook lots of bacon, then cook some more! It will take time, but if you take care of this pan it will be the best no stick pan you'll ever own.
