Ceramic knives are trendy, and that dates all the way back to the
paleolithic.

Sometimes there's a reason for a revival. Cast iron was dropped like
a hot potato when tin pots became cheaply available, but I cook in
little else.

In the interval between tin pots and now, cheap paper towels were
invented -- so my cast iron is eaier to take care of than my stainless
steel.

Cast iron *must* be wiped dry if it gets wet, and it *always* leaves
permanent black stains on the wiping cloth. (Which explains old
embroidery patterns for marking dish towels "glass". I.E., *not* to
be used on pots.)

And the rags had to be washed by hand. I'm still boggled by the
discovery that Mom had both my older sisters in diapers at the same
time *before* we got electricity and running water.

Me too, but we moved to town not long after I was born.


Once a cast iron pan is cured it can be dried simply by putting it on the
fire for a couple minutes. My procedure is to wash with soap and water.
No abrasives. Then wipe dry with a dish towel. then heat for a couple
minutes. My cast iron pans came with me from New Orleans and I haven’t
lived there since 1987.


Cast iron pans you can will to your kids... or grand kids (if people
still cook in that age :-)

With proper care good quality cast iron pots and pans can last for generations.

My favorite 12" frying pan came from my grandmother. They don't require
much care once they're cured unless you mistreat them.

Plus a cast iron frying pan can be cheaper to use as it holds the heat a lot longer than the aluminium ones do. I have a small 6" cast iron frying pan I take on all my camping trips.

One other great thing you can use a cast iron frying pan for is to warm your bed sheets on a cold night. VBEG LOL

Years ago my mother bought a brand spanking NEW stainless fry pan. And
damned it to High Heavens the first time she used it. While a good old
cast iron pan distributes the heat pretty evenly a stainless pan has
hot spots :-)

I always romanticized it but my Aunt told me that cleaning the lantern globes was an awful chore considering there was a social imperative that the girls' white clothes had to stay white. A contaminated flatiron that left a black streak meant the thing being ironed had to start all over in the wash.


It was polishing the burners that got Mom down.

She had a mixed bag of lamps that we got out when the power lines were
down. Much, much later I realized that we could *always* call to
report the outage: the phone lines never ceased to function. But
this didn't strike me as remarkable until a couple of revolutions in
phone service later.

Mom's lamps were assorted because her friends gave her their old lamps
when she married a farmer.

This was in the thirties, on a central-Indiana farm. Stringing wire
to homes a mile apart is more expensive than wiring homes that are
adjacent, and farmers were poor.

Dad had a "wind charger" for listening to the radio. I could have
crawled up into the smokehouse attic (the smokehouse had been given to
me as a playhouse) and looked at it, but I didn't learn that it was
there until my sister (who raised her children in the farmhouse we
grew up in) told me that it had blown away in a storm.

I didn't even know it was a smokehouse, and haven't the slightest idea
where the smoke came from and how it got out without leaving any
stains or the slightest smell.

-------------------

I think that having said "we moved to town" might be confusing. When
the war ended, we moved back -- and used the money Dad had earned at
Delco Remy to install electricity and running water, and buy a
tractor.

Wasn't there some sort of "Rural Electrification" program. I've read
about something of the sort although I don't believe it applied in
up-state New Hampshire where I grew up.

I have a large cast aluminum pot for gumbo and red beans. It
distributes and hold the heat pretty well. Lighter than cast iron but
harder to clean.

I like my cast iron pan though :-)


You have only 1? You need at least an 8 inch for corn bread and that's
too small for most other stuff. g
