Dug out some of Grandma’s old cast iron yesterday. I’m bout to throw out all that “non stick” bullshit I’ve been wasting money on....

Just kidding
Mine died when I was 7, but she enstilled in me a love for fatback and cornbread.
We would go visit her after school a lot and she would ALWAYS have either some fatback or sausage patties covered up on top of the stove for us. If anyone else came to visit during the day Grandmother would hide the plate of fried foods and save them for me and my sister.
Not sure what happened to her cornstick pans but her cast iron frying pans are now in my possession.
Makes me think of your mom.
Self cleaning oven for a couple hours will have them looking bare bones brand new. Saves a lot of scrubbing on the rust but makes a mess.
I use my hand-me-down cast iron a lot.
My Dad gave me a bunch of Griswold cast iron pans for Christmas last year. I haven’t used any of my other ones (stainless or non stick) since then. Stuff is awesome.
Depends on how much gunk is built up and how even the cooking surface is. You probably don't need it on any but the rusty one. Plus you'd be erasing history. I'd wash with soap, wipe 'em down with oil, and bake em to get a fresh coat of seasoning on them

I'm moving to all cast iron when we get the new house done ... I'm jealous, I'll have to buy all new except for one pan I've had for years.
I bumped across this company a few weeks ago...

Good looking stuff.
You can by a lodge for half of what these cost and grind them down yourself and the quality is just as good I'm sure.
