I found a Stargazer skillet in the Goodwill shop for $15 it was my deal of a lifetime! The rest of my iron is Lodge and Wagner and I am very happy with all of them. Great video as always waiting for the iron shootout.
love finding a good deal
I could use some luck like that!
Can’t beat that. I just bought the 12” seasoned skillet a few weeks ago. After tax and shipping and all it was $154.61. Worth every penny at that price. $15.00 you can’t beat it.
StArgazer4 $15 😮Dang!!
Wow. Everyone whining about the price. Less than a dollar a day for the first year for something that will serve you the rest of your life. Sure there are cheaper options and if you are not one to splurge then you wouldn't get it. It is an heirloom piece. It would be a great wedding, housewarming, or Christmas present that is timeless. If you like all utility with no romance buy a lodge, or if you have no soul buy a Chinese pan.
Great cast iron is an investment that gives back to you every time you cook out of it
I just got the "Heather" that is reviewed here. Best cast iron I have ever bought. Everything was as described on this video. I also needed the extra flat bottom for my stove, where something like a Lodge would not work well. This skillet works perfectly on it. The Heather is a tad small. I can cook two pork chops on it. Its not big enough if cooking for more than two people. Might also mention it takes awhile to get these when you order. Might be more than a couple months. But worth the wait. I also would recommend ordering the glass lid.
love my butter pat
Hi Mr. Rollins, that hole in your cast iron pans does serve a purpose. It is to stick the handle of your spoon into. Then your spoon drips into the pan and not on your counter. Try it. you'll like it. keep up the good work.
Underrated post
As the bacon heats up, the pores of the pan open up accepting the bacon grease. Best way to season the pan! Cook fatty meats the first few times on a new skillet! First few uses might not be as non-stick but it builds up over time!
*I love your cooking show.*
appreciate that my friend
You're right it is a bit pricey, I'm gonna stick with my old Wagners.
Fun tidbit. In 1976 was working in Chicago at O'hare airport. The baggage heading to China was almost too heavy to lift. The reason was that most had cast iron pans in them. Apparently they were tough to come by overseas and tourists took as many as they could fit back with them. Had people pay a $100 overweight fee rather than give up even one pan.
that is interesting
Great review. Would like to get one myself but I couldn't afford one. I have a few cast iron pieces I inherited from my mother from the 60s that work great for me. Thanks for another great video.
appreciate it judy
"Pennzoil" great line! Cast iron is great stuff, keep it clean, oiled and use often! Best advice
thanks jim for watching
My old Wagners do just fine.
Love your show, love your reviews...
KEEP ON COOKING
Great video! The price is worth it!! It’s on my Christmas list.
I don’t understand why people complain it’s too expensive. Then don’t buy it!! Period. It’s that easy 😊
You get what you pay for 😉
For sure, Thanks for watching
Finex, Field, Stargazer, Marquette, Borough Furnace, or Smithey. Any of these are more compelling and also less expensive. Not to mention that these all exist to try and be half as good as an old Griswold or Wagner which you could also find cheaper.
But folks will pay that even for an old Wagner just because it's vintage! Lol.
I cannot wait to watch your entire cast iron series. I have long been a fan of doing the majority of my cooking in iron and I am always ready to learn more and learn something new.
thanks my friend
$395 for a 12" cast iron skillet!!!!!
Hand made...Yes.
Lighter weight...Yes.
Smoother...Yes.
BUT:
My heavier $29, Lodge 12", stripped, lightly sanded, and now well seasoned cooks like a dream!!!
At those prices, that's 13.6 Lodges and a little elbow grease to 1 Butter Pat.
If you are wealthy, maybe.
My $29 Lodge will still service my great grand kids.
Just sayin.
Phil.Paula Stocks that is a ridiculous price for any single pan, let alone cast iron.
@Sally For that price, you could buy some of those vintage ones. :)
Sally - I have commented before, on other cast iron videos, that it is in some people's nature, to want to "break in", or "tweak" a new piece of equipment (tool, kit, housewares) FOR THEMSELVES - FROM SCRATCH. I happen to be one such person, as it seems you are as well..😁
Here in Arizona, I can get a 12 inch Lodge, for less
than $20. $395? Almost 20 of them. Say, I only get
10. And a random orbiting Skil sander, for $40. The
paper will be another $10. I've now got 10 SMOOTH,
seasoned 12 inch skillets, an orbital sander, paper,
and $50.00 left.
(Anyone want a $30 Lodge 12 inch skillet?)
If I had grandkids, I would, But, with well over
100 first cousins...)
@Sally, I agree!
$400 for a single 12 inch skillet?
I can turn a Lodge skillet into the
same finish. If I do 10, buy the sander,
and buy the sandpaper, I still come out
$50 ahead.
Wally World, as well as Kroger has the
12 inch Lodge, for less than $20. $380
pays for a LOT of sanding. (And, I like
the Lodge helper handle better. You
can get some grip AROUND it.)
Sorry Kent!
steve
Great review as always!! I'm new to cast iron and last month bought a 9 inch lodge cast iron skillet and so far I have made corn fritters, hashbrowns, tostones (green plantain fritters), eggs and bacon, corn bread...and I'm in love with the skillet but when I saw the video my jaw dropped! My lodge look like is burnt and the Butter pat looks like a masterpiece. Greetings from Puerto Rico and thanks for helping me uncover the cast iron secrets
sure appreciate having you along cristian- hope the videos help!
Kent you reintroduced me to my love of cast iron, Dutch ovens, and "camp" cooking, as a professional cook your videos make me want to steal my grandma's cast iron. Thanks for all the videos. They're great.
grandma's had good stuff thank s for watching cory
Wow... what a presentation video... you guys are a class act! Those Butter Pat skillets are very nice, and hopefully I'll win the Lottery and be able to buy the full set! lol.... a bit out of my budget, but I can dream! Cheers friends, God Bless !!
understand my friend
Thanks for the review, Kent. I have to be honest here. If I were going to spend that amount of money on a skillet, it would be on a high-end All-Clad and not cast iron. It's a great pan but cast iron just shouldn't cost that much in my opinion.
May I suggest that you look into the Demeyere brand, specifically the Atlantis/Proline product, as a better alternative to All Clad? You won't find it secondhand like you can AC, but the handles are far more comfortable, and the finish is better.
@@joligarcon5970 I have a Field and it's the best out there, bang for buck, IMO. Paid $135, which is the most I would ever spend on cast iron. Lodge is cheaper, been around forever, but can't touch the Field skillet. It's half the weight of a Lodge, dead flat and polished smooth.
@@joligarcon5970 What’s your take out of all the Cast Iron’s out there, Lodge (although I think their QA/QC) is abominable, sanding it down and seasoning it oneself, it does the job. My Lodge is completely non-stick after doing it per Kent’s method. Oven 5-7 times. Non-Stick Perfection. Do you own any of the expensive ones? Or just Lodge? Thanks! Thoughts?
Great review unboxing I’m still cookin Granny’s 100+ year old cast iron she had quite a collection Wagner an Griswold skillets griddles an Dutch ovens
But if I didn’t have that I’d be seriously looking at these
granny had the best stuff
Looks great but a little out of my price range . But would love to have one .
Somebody has to pay for all that packaging 📦 and it's not the manufacturer. Think I'll stick with my Lodge and Wagoner pieces. Priced right, non-stick, easy to handle...who could ask for anything more?🍳
That's one sweet skillet, nice finish, smooth hand made...simple is good. Got me 2 skillets a 9" (25 years old) and a 12" (30 years old). Just cook in it, it'll get that dark color over time. If you need an abrasive use kosher salt and a sponge.
Yep, they are expensive. I look at it this way. It's like an inexpensive automobile or an expensive automobile. Both will get you from point A to point B. In most cases, the expensive one will be a smoother ride.
good point
Looks good. Seems to cook good out of the box.
I like you clean and reseason after every use usually as soon as I’m done cooking and before chuck. I use a wood spatula on the stove then dump the junk and hit with hot water a time or two.
My wife gave me a piece of chain mail for cleaning at Christmas and it sat until mid February before I finally tried it. Now right after the steam clean I dump out all the water and give it a few swirls with that chain mail, hit again with hot water then back to the burner for heat then oil (I’ve used Grape Seed for two years now). To my shock, that chain mail has improved the surfaces of a couple of pans that have not made it through the shop yet. It has done no harm to any pan. I’m glad I broke down as that dog hunts.
good to hear
Was fixing to buy a US made pan but I’m going to wait until you do the comparison of all 4. As always, thank you both kindly for the great reviews.
appreciate that- hopefully we'll give you some good info
I wish I could find the article I stumbled on about lard and cast iron. As I remember this guy was a chemist. His conclusion was that GOOD lard was the best for seasoning. I kinda hear your point about lard going rancid, this guys take on it was that to properly heat and chemically change the lard fat, that it was so hot to actually change the fat into another type of inert material. Eventually that is pure graphite.
Before you decide to go with something else cheaper remember that this is an amazing product that will last lifetimes and buying it helps keep Americans at work and feeding their families. I just picked up a Griswold #8 on letgo for 10 bucks but I do plan on buying as money of these cast iron USA made pans as I need and can (all different types of course) in the future just for the reasons above. Buy USA and help your neighbor!
Enjoying the cast iron series. That is the only kind of skillet my mother every used. Me....I am having to learn to cook with it now because I was young and didn't pay attention and got caught up in the "new" teflon era when I was married 50 years ago. I am back!!
Thanks Pam and quality cast iron is the best thing ever to cook with
looking forward to this series, I have what you would call a small collection maybe 15 pieces. I am always looking for more. They are all old griswalds and wagers except for my newist which is a stargazer which is still on the kitchen counter waiting to be seasoned. I think I paid about $90 for it, the rest all came from second hand stores and garage sales. They cost between 5-10 dollars each. Gotta love cast iron.
it is good stuff
I was not aware of these brands, well the two mentioned hitherto, but i am impressed. Yes the price is high compared to machined stock but blimey, that's what you are paying for. Handmade, American historic Craftsmanship that will do you and yours proud for another hundred or so years. Lastly guys, you are supporting American jobs and prosperity in these harsh times of global competition flooding the market with dross. I buy Aussie because i am Aussie and i encourage our American friends to do the same with their local oldie firms. Cheers guys. ATB Moose.
Thanks Moose and its all about great product and supporting the home front
That's a nice looking piece of iron! Looking forward to the cast iron series!
I look forward to the whole review series! This one was great! I use an.old Griswold.
appreciae it MaryLu hope they help
Thank you so much for this video. I’m glad y’all are making it a little unboxing “series.” I can’t wait for the next one. I really liked the finish on that one. A little pricy, but you’re right....you get what you pay for
hey jason thanks for watching sure hope you enjoy the stuff coming up
This is a great series and contribution that you are doing for USA MADE cast iron ! Much appreciated. God bless you and the Mrs. Our family will be watching this. We will be buying some of the "winning" cast iron for our little girl who is starting her own family. She was taught how to cook indoors and outdoors using great grandma's cast iron. We are excited to be grandparents soon, and to have another generation to pass down good old fashioned cooking along with help from your cookbooks and youtube channel. Thanks again big bunches.
sure appreciate that thanks for watching hope they help
Awesome! Can’t wait for the rest because this cowgirl is looking to invest in more iron made in USA! Exciting series to this cook- well done!
sure appreciate it ma'am hope it helps
Hey this must be a special, Kent has got his go to town hat on ! 😊 Looking good there rider, just need that stash back!
Dose seem to be a decent pan but I have all I need for now. Dangit, now you got me wanting some bacon and eggs !
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
you noticed! Shan won't let me cook in it
Look at us. A couple of old guys without mustaches...I'm fixin' to grow mine back soon.Great review Kent and Shannon. Thanks.
I'm using old Griswold lodge. Considering a different brand. I love using the cast iron. My alclad and viking stainless steel pans sit without use now. Kinda sad seeing them expensive pans not being used. So you ask why. Cast iron just cooks better. If ya have oil in a pan it sits on the stove whether it's cast iron or not till it cools. You pour the grease off and clean when it's cool.
I have a well seasoned flax seed cast iron pan. One drop of dish dawn soap and water and it's clean. Doesn't strip any seasoning off. I turn on the stove preheat and wipe with flaxseed oil. Sometimes I don't even. Preheat. Wipe off the excess. It's not a problem. And it's never sticky
I liked these Field Company and Butter Pat reviews! You should do Borough Furnace, American Skillet Company, Stargazer, Finex, and Smithey if you haven't already!
I also think it would be cool if you had a big comparison review of all of this modern stuff (sanded Lodge included) with some of the vintage stuff like the Griswold and Wagner skillets.
(Just got to the end of the video and realized you're already planning on doing this....)
Thanks Bryce so. much
Love them, having Shannon on with Kent is great. Thanks!
Thanks Ed she is a keeper for sure and a great producer
Thanks for the info Kent and Shannon. Looking forward to getting my Taste of Cowboy book and Red River Seasoning tomorrow in the mail. Beyond excited!
hey sure appreciate that JC and sure appreciate the support
It's the packaging you're paying for 😄
I've been looking for a great 2nd hand skillet but no thrift stores here seems to have any or not one that is right for me - size and form factor, non enamelled and I can very well strip the old seasoning and a little rust and start a complete new seasoning so condition isn't that critical as long as it's raw cast iron and not too rusted. But no luck so far (have people really thrown them out? They where once plentyful at fleamarkets etc. New cast irons are hard to find here as well)
Settled for a 9" lodge. Gave it extra seasoning layers in the oven a few times and it's already great. Can be when I think it's time for a complete new seasoning I'll then smoothen the bottom a little as it's on the rough side - much more coarse than my 40 years (or so) smaller Høyang Polaris I like so much. But still it's great - even bacon doesn't stick.
The fun thing is that on my infrared stove (they where once considered very modern - don't know what they're called in american) I find them way faster to heat up than my modern non stick pans - so fast that I don't miss induction - probably about 1 minute to reach 180 C while in the same time the Tefals would still be almost touchable. Most likely because the bottoms are just about completely black and thus takes the IR heat much better where as my modern pans are silvery shiny and therefore doesn't take the IR radiation as well.
can't wait to see when you do the comparisons.. thanks, and take care now...
I have one cast iron skillet, I finally have it to where my over easy eggs come right out with no sticking. I learned how to get it that way from the Cast Iron King and Queen.
appreciate that marc sure is good stuff
Recently got a 12.2" cast iron skillet, old, still pretty well seasoned, from the thrift store near my home. So smooth! $5, and it gets better every time I cook something greasy in it. Yesterday I pensively did scrambled eggs after bacon. Cleaned up like a charm in moments after.
Best thing to cook with
It passed the scrambled cackleberry and slabber bacon tests. Nice. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching
Great Video! Can't Wait For The Reviews!
thanks for watching
Kent, Shannon, I use metal tools, almost
exclusively, in my cast iron. But, most of
my CI is Lodge, and needs to be smoothed
out. I use the "wear off the high spots, and
build up the low spots" method.
GREAT video, but $200 is a wee bit out of
my price range.
steve
Steve Skouson I sanded down my Lodge pan and it works great. If you don't have a sander take it to weld shop and see if they can sand it for you.
Geee, I have sanded down my Lodge
stuff. I just didn't sand them down smooth.
I've mostly removed the tops of the hills,
if that analogy works for you.
I am a mechanic by trade, and we use a
"surface prep" tool, to clean off gasket
surfaces. Harbor freight sells them,
that can mount on a drill.
steve
I ordered the Heather What a amazing skillet a true work of art
Smooth skillet and smooth upper lip for the Spring. Nice clean look for a cowboy chef! Thanks for the tips and review of this fine skillet. I am off to the antique mall in the morning to find an old skillet gem myself. Wish me luck.
good luck on the hunt
Excellent video.
I learned a lot though always thought
the heavier a pan was the better it cooks.
Now I know better. My Lagostina ten inch
squarish grill pan is nice but boy oh boy it is heavy.😮
Thanks Kevin for watching
Mr. Cowboy Kent, you are the best cast-iron man up here on all of the TH-cam and that's a fact.
Best wishes and God bless to you and Shan and all your friends and family, from this Noo Yawk boy whose grand mama cooked on cast iron and now we here at home are doin' it too!
and they say i have an accent haha thanks michael for watching
Grear video.. Like always... But you talk about 195 bucks for a pan?? I look at this way... Iam still useing my grandparents pan and probably only payed 1.95 for.. Aint hard to figure that math.... Huh?
Hey Kent and Shannon
You may want to reach out to Smithey Iron Ware and get there skillet in for the review series. Smoothed inside and made in the USA.
thanks brian
Thanks for always calling it the way you see it, Kent.
Love watching these shorts...try different things around my backyard kitchen as a result. One day, I will get a Dutch oven or two. For now, keeping to my big ol skillets.
Another delightful review with you 2, good stuff :)
Thanks for sharing! The only thing I don't like about cast iron pans are the tiny handles, other than that I love 'em!
you'll probably enjoy the upcomign stargazer review much larger handle
Looking forward to it! And thanks again for taking time to share with us!
Great review! I was just thinking about getting another cast iron skillet. Thanks for everything you do. And may God bless you.
sure appreciate you watching- hope you enjoy the upcoming reviews
Great review Mr Kent, Nice to see your Mrs on the review, I have a request, Could you do a video on a cut called Barron of Beef, My Sis and her husband are ranch hands in Big Sandy MT, Every Christmas she fixes it and I have always wondered what cut it is and how you prepare it,
Thanks as always for your time and sharing your wisdom, Have a blessed day!
Thanks David and the term comes from across the pond it is
a joint of beef consisting of two sirloins joined at the backbone.
When I was looking for a "good" piece of iron I was GOING to buy Lodge cause it HAD a good reputation but then I saw how the newer stuff isnt quit there anymore. NEW stuff thats quality is WAY too pricey so I just bought a super smooth old WAGNER. It's great!
Can’t wait for the Stargazer review....that’s my favorite cast iron pan, although I only have 2 pans lol Keep up the great vids Mr. Rollins!!
Got 2 here too. Lodge and a Stargazer and I love my Stargazer.
Agreed. Love my Stargazer.
I'll be anxious to watch the Stargazer review, as I received one as a Christmas present.
Lodge and Stargazer for cast Iron and I have a couple carbon steel pans. the stargazer and my De buyer carbon steel are my favs.
Awhile back I had mentioned to you about the quality of the cast iron pans from China. I said they made good dog dishes. I was at a flea market this weekend. Was talking to a guy that was selling cast iron. Was teasing him it looked like it all was Chinese junk. It wasn't it was all old even had one marked US Army. It was at least 18 inches across. We been talking just shooting the breeze. We we're talking about the Chinese stuff. Then his wife buds in an says she wouldn't even use it to feed dogs. She said the only thing they were good for was a frying pan toss. She said I'd end up in a body cast if she caught me using a good piece of cast iron for that game. Had a great time just standing around talking. An she made my day.
great finding folks who understand good iron
Cowboy Kent Rollins that's the truth!!
I don't know of any quality cast iron being made in China today. It makes me feel sorry for the Chinese foundry workers who would rather make quality cookware. I have two 1960s vintage skillets that are made in Taiwan that are as good as the Wagner skillets from the same time.
Thank you Mr. Kent, I really enjoy your channel. I’m a newbie at cast iron and still intimidated by it. Cheers from Tn.
ain't nothing to it Lynda hope the videos help
I had no idea about this company. Made in the USA...I like it. Thanks for the review!
yes sir adam- we'll ahve more coming
Nice pan price seems OK also the side handle great touch, my wife got all her Mothers old cast iron and a few were her Grandmothers and Great Grandmothers which date back to the late 20s or so, top of the list were a 3", 8", 12" Griswold and a few others with no names but for made in US on the bottom, but when my wife came home with another 8" Griswold that we pick up for $6.00 well pans I dont need now working on getting a dutch over next. Have a Great Day.
that old stuff was great!
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the overall comparison.
But $200 is pretty steep. I'll catch some old Gris at the auction.
awesome im thrilled about this series !!
I'm lucky and have full set of griswolds size 3 thru 14 (except a 13") that we use almost daily. How do you think these new pans compare. We really enjoy all your great recipes and videos . Keep up the good work you guys are big here in NC.
we'll touch on that in the video next week. sure appreicate y'all watching
its the butter pat is the closet thing I have to my Griswold
Love to see these high priced pans as it makes my Griswolds and Wagners worth even more. Guess I'll start selling a few.
Wow! Who knew there was gold in that there cast iron??
I deep fry in my cast iron the first few uses or if I have to scrub with soap. It's a bit easier on me than cooking the pan after cooking dinner. My pans do well with pancakes and eggs, even though I can only afford the cheap ones.
deep frying is the best for new cast iron
Dang, those Butter Pats are more expensive than my Finex skillets.
I have the whole set of Finex skillets, grill pans, and the saucepan.
Hope you do a review of Finex too.
Also forgot to add something from an old cooking show I use to watch as a kid Hot Pan Cold Oil Food Wont Stick.
No, they aren't cheap. And yes, you can cook great stuff in a Lodge, or even a $10 dollar store skillet from China. (And NO, those do NOT contain lead!) The cheaper ones don't heat as evenly, but you can solve that by pushing the food around in the skillet. And you can sand a Lodge down smooth. (But there are some who advise against this, since the bottom of the skillet is what retains heat.) You might even find old Griswold or Wagner for less than what Butter Pat costs for a skillet of the same size.
But that's not the point.
The point is that Butter Pat is making skillets on par with Griswold and Wagner - something that a lot of people said can't be done these days. (For one thing, use of the fine sand used in the old foundries has been banned by the EPA, as it's unsafe to breathe.) Dennis Powell simply refused to take no for an answer. It took three years (and a LOT of discarded prototypes) to figure out the process. You can read some about that here: www.lancastercountymag.com/interview-with-dennis-powell-founder-of-butter-pat-industries/
It's rare to find ANY product made as well as it used to be. You can see a severe quality slide when comparing a current product to its equivalent made in the 20's, 30's, or 40's. Things are made of cheaper and cheaper materials, and there's no care or craftsmanship in the process.
Butter Pat is bucking the trend, and I fully support that. Things are pretty uncertain now, but I purchased a skillet anyway because it feels good just knowing that Griswold-quality skillets are once again being manufactured. (And besides, it's pure pleasure to cook in it.) When this pandemic has run its course, I hope to get the full set, and some extras to give as gifts.
Awesome post! I think I’m going to get my wife one. She needs a good 12” cast iron pan
Pretty nice skillet
I got the 12” stargazer a few weeks ago and love it. Not sure why Shannon is always obsessed with the packaging. It takes a hell of a hit to crack a cast iron pan in a box. I’m sure if it happens it’s extremely rare and these companies would certainly replace it if it arrived broken.
Looking forward to that cast iron series. Thanks for sharing!
appreciate john sure hope you enjoy
The best cast iron pieces are found at yard/estate sales. The Griswold and Wagner are best. I have 25 pieces and all are the old cast iron. Although I don't know why I need 5 dutch ovens. LOL.
The old iron is truly the best
Liked the video, especially the cleaning advice, thanks
Love your videos Kent, purchasing & owning a cast iron is one the best investment we've done...God bless you & your family, keep up the good work☺👍👍
thanks my friend
My old cast iron used to stick..especially with eggs...until I started watching Ken and his tips. Now they are like glass and nothing sticks at all.
On that compare and contrast there video...can you add to the mix an old 100+ year old skillet so we can see the difference?
I'll make a few points on that- thanks for the input sir
Thank you so much for the reviews on more cast iron! I see you did one on the stargazer as well. I'll be getting to that shortly.
Thanks for watching
Great video and I love the skillet can't wait for the Stargazer
Thank you for another CI review. I look forward to each video that you and Shannon send out. It is a lot of effort on your part and I sure do appreciate it.
Your recommendations carry a lot of weight with me. Routinely serve up many of your recipes and am using my Field Company skillet and enjoying it ... because of your review. I await your review of the Stargazer.
Keep your evaluations real. It's nice that a manufacturer will send you one or two of their products but I am sure that you know that your reputation is worth far more than and stack of cast iron. Trust your regular viewers to understand your real feelings but those just beginning their enjoyment of your channel need some straight cowboy talk.
appreciate the kind words john
Good review, looks like some nice iron! Looking forward to the others. I have two sets of cast, one for the kitchen, and one for camping; they are both well loved!!
best stuff to have tony
Kent great Video......I have some of my grandmother's iron and it is still best piece in the Kitchen!!!!
grandma's had the best
Cowboy Kent, Don't forget to review the Smithey ironware skillet and Finex! ;)
th-cam.com/video/nCetY5VA7Lc/w-d-xo.html
Bought a 12 inch Smithey pan/griddle combo. I thought the $300 I paid for it was a bit much at the time. Nearly one year later, and not only do I love it, but I swear by Smithey as the poor man's boutique quality cast iron. They are second to none!
Looking forward to the cast iron series
appreciate that
I thought about buying an antique but I’m kind of afraid too,,,they say some of the old-timers took an old pan and melted lead to make shot and bullets,,,, you’ll never get all that lead out of them pans ever,,,,probably better to buy this new fancy stuff or at the very least a lodge,,,, I have a 10 or 12 inch I believe skillet and a Dutch oven there pretty good,,,, I have some pretty old stuff too I got to get out and go through,,, I have a griddle that says something about a railroad i’m not sure which one I have to look at it,,, that’s a real nice one I don’t know how old it is,,, a lot of pancakes cooked on that one,,,, my mother died last April I have to go down to her house and go through all that stuff some of that cast-iron cookware belonged to my great grandparents......
You can get a lead checker to make sure
Best skillet I ever had, 992 tread plate. 7018 welds around the circle... Pan's are a different creature, made well, or oh well...
I'm glad there's good cast iron being made. I just can't get over the cost. I just looked and it's 300 dollars for a 10 in pan. My vintage Wagner and Griswolds were free just asking around. That's a lot of money.
stay tuned for our upcoming reviews
Loving the cast iron reviews. I know I’m buying a field for sure. I love my old Wagner’s and my griswold I got at a antique flea market. Just need a larger option. My lodge is rough.
yes they are- the video next week should help
Cowboy Kent Rollins Looking forward to it.
Thank yall!
WAIT.......... WHAT............. A new hat? Was it your birthday or somethin'? Or did it come with the skillet? Sounds like the cold front went thru on the second scene, hear it rattlin' the barn a little. Thanks for all you do, didn't even know of Butter Pat until this video.
it's my going to town hat that shan won't let me cook in! You got that right- i had to climb up on the barn to try to secure the tin then the ladder fell over and I got stuck up there until someone came by
Cowboy Kent Rollins - OK now that's funny! Unless you're the one on the roof with no ladder.....
Hey Kent!,,, I noticed the mustache is missing. Did you get to close to 'ole Bertha? Love all your videos. I never was a cast iron fan but now, I can't get enough. I am always on a search for cast iron. I make every one "non stick", and my friends can't believe it.
Thanks Butch and Bertha did get it
Bought one just because they are located near me. Easton, Maryland. BUY LOCAL! Hand-made craftsmanship! Made in the USA!
USA best made
It's not that expensive when when you consider it will last a lifetime. Wish i would have started with cast iron instead of trying all the so called no sticks pans
yes sir!
A 10:00 Wagner from a thrift store made in the 1800’s will cook just the same and last you two lifetimes.
I love these pans but almost $1,000 dollars for 3 cast iron skilits. Thats crazy!
@@alcantrell5340 How often can you find them like that? Serious question. Just started looking into these and don't live near a thrift store to go and look myself.
@@alcantrell5340 The odds of finding Wagner in a thrift store for $10 are probably about the same as the odds of hitting the lottery.
It looks like a well made, well finished product; but I'd have a hard time pulling the trigger at the price of a two hundred dollar bill for an eight inch skillet!! For that price I could buy enamel coated 'Les Cruset' and still save 70 dollars!! I know this to be true because that's what they were selling on QVC yesterday. They were selling a 4.5 qt. Dutch Oven with a lid in your choice of four beautiful colors. Heck I want to support American companies but I still want to buy at a decent price!!
Im fixing on sanding my Lodge and Blackstone griddle and reseasoning them just listening to this
I NOTICED THAT YOU ARE LOOKING DIFFERENT! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! THANK YOU! BE SAFE! HOW'S THE WEATHER? HAVE FUN! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS!
Thanks David and God Bless you as well
