Thread: Cast iron?

Found in an abandoned house clean out. Based on the state of the pan and the house I decided it needed to be stripped and re-seasoned. The place was not fit for pigs. Nice pan though; old 3 notch #5 Lodge.



Stripped it with oven cleaner then used a rotary wire brush to get the last few stubborn spots. Scrubbed it well with stainless scrub pad and scouring powder and a final wash with Dawn.

Then into the oven for 3 new coats of lard seasoning


Finished product looks pretty good I think.



Should be good for a few more centuries now.

French toast alla challah bread tonight.
Best thing about making this kind of bread is day old makes the best French toast, period.


It’s a sweet, dense bread with an egg brushed crust to begin with, so it hold up to a really long soaking in the French batter and makes for a terrific dinner, served with pea meal bacon and maple syrop.
Let it snow, I’m ready!

With pea meal bacon..................Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
