decent cast iron

[2thDoc]

BB--i have some old cast iron. I also have some "newer" lodge. IMO, the lodge is junk. So, they just arent the same to someone that spends time in the kitchen. Granted, I cant comment on the $200 interchangeable golf club head....

I am buying my daughter a piece that I expect her to keep and cook on for the rest of her life. Is that not something I can spend $160 on?

Geez....you people waste ungodly amounts of money on stuff that I consider worthless. Let me have a decent cast iron frying pan!

Can’t hide money...

I would just suggest staying away from any cast iron made in China.

Edit to add that wasn’t for Tooth. But for whoever mentioned store brand iron.

[2thDoc]

oh i can hide money.

by not buying crap.

(all good, hoss)

I was never sassy. And I wish my golf clubs heads only cost 200 bucks.. I collect putters also

I'll gladly spend more on stuff that's gonna last; I just don't know the difference between "high-end" cast iron and "builder-grade" cast iron.

[2thDoc]

see? HS could trade in a couple of putters from his closet and get a skillet he will actually use.

BB- i hear ya. its hard to know the difference until you have tried them all. I had some cheap non stick pans that I thought were great....till they werent any more. I have given up on them and will stick with cast iron. I just like it more....

[Highstrung]

I thought 2ths thoughts were nice.. I won't knock anybody spending money on anything their heart desires unless I think it's tacky. Let's face it y'all can do some tacky s***

[Highstrung]

It takes a long time for me to make a post, voice to text when I'm busy trying to do grown up things.

[Highstrung]

And I like my skillets

Just giving you hell. I have a $300 French pileau pot at the house and it’s the tits. Probably the best present I ever got.

You chose a great gift that will be well-used, not shoved in a drawer or forgotten in a closet.

Lodge works just fine, just like Yeti vs Coleman!

[2thDoc]

lodge works. coleman works.

locally made cast iron and yeti work better. period.

WTF is a pileau?

[Black Bart]

It's now o-Fish-ally a party.

Even I admit how lame that was, but just couldn't hit delete...

[2thDoc]

yes you can. for the greater good...

[mudflat]

Ask yourself this, did your granny buy a 50.00 piece of cast iron or a 5.00 frying pan? Has Smithey perfected some magical blend of metals to make their cast iron pans?

[billyjack]

My Grandma used bottom shelf cookware.

She also used corn cobs and pages from the Sears catalog to wipe her ass.

I try not to base my decisions on what was “good enough” for Grandma

It is what mouth breathers call "perloo".
