Things are getting pretty strange when I feel its important to put a picture of a frying pan on my blog. But I couldn't help it. I just love coking in these.
Yea, I hear ya sister! I've been converted. Strange how there was this modern movement to go all stainless steel. I certainly went that way. Not even sure I knew back in 1985 that cast iron was an option. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just that .... it cooks differently and I like it!
I am very fortunate to have my favourite brother (as he likes to be referred as) scanning flea markets for cast iron ware. Sadly, I/he has yet to come across a dutch oven with a cover.
Carole, I got my two pans from LODGE CAST IRON. They have a lot to choose from and the prices were good. I got free shipping because I have Amazon prime. Anyway fun to look at the pieces that they have. So just google it if you want to have a look. I saw a Dutch oven with the lid , I think it was thirty five dollars.
I have checked out Lodge Cast iron and they do have quite a nice selection. I will certainly purchase my dutch oven should I not be able to find one at a flea market.
Myself, I mainly own Wagner cast iron skillets. I love to cook with them. Ah, if they could talk .... I'm sure they would have wonderful stories to share from the past.

We use cast iron all the time. We have a square skillet, a round skillet, a griddle, about 3 Dutch Ovens. Most were thrift shop finds, one Dutch oven a "rescue" from the local salvage yard! CJ
