Cast Iron Q&A: Put A Lid On It
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ต.ค. 2020
- (No, this has nothing to do with political arguments.) Join us on Cast Iron Wednesday for a live chat, and cast iron Q&A session. The general subject this week is: LIDS. We take the lids on our pots and pans for granted, and there are quite a few things to talk about when it comes to lids on cast iron pans. Everyone is encouraged to ask questions and answer questions! Topics we can discuss include...
- Older gate-marked lids
- Which lid will fit this old skillet or pot?
- Why did Wagner and other companies stop making lids?
- What are those spikes on the underside of this lid?
- How do I clean this &%#*#! lid with those spikes underneath?
- Details about lids from older cast iron manufacturers, including identifying unmarked lids - บันเทิง
Bing watching all old cast iron videos I missed before I started watching. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 luv it.
I am learning so much,i allways loved cast iron an now i am able to start collecting and enjoy cooking with them!
Great presentation! You blew the lid off of eBay quite gracefully. Thank you!
This past weekend I got a lid identical to the first one you showed, with a three leg, gate mark cauldron at an antique store for $18.00. You have been very inspirational for me. Thank you very much!!!
The lid fit perfectly on the cauldron so I thought it was for it. 😀
My Dad's mother came over from Ireland with a Nuydea Fryer and Lid which my Mom still uses.
You should have accepted the Field skillet, reviewed it then done a giveaway with your viewers!
I couldn’t find a lid for an old bottom gate marked 11 inch spider so I bought a 12 inch round bailed griddle and it fits perfectly. But I’ve never tried to bake with it. Have you ever used a griddle as a lid?
Great topic. Frequently hard to find lids that fit my pans and ovens. A good Lid frequently adds $50 or more to the price.
Ahh, lids.... I got into cast iron cooking about a year ago and bought Fields skillets in #8, 10 and 12. Fields recently (like a couple days ago... now they're gone) offered lids to their #8. I scored one. I was hoping for a lid to a #12. I have an Analon 12" skillet with lid that has been my kitchen workhorse for years, and it has held up marvelously. And cleans up like a breeze. But I'd love to use my Fields #12 instead, if it had a lid. I don't understand why modern cast iron manufacturers don't offer lids with their skillets. Do you?
Many skillet lids went to WWII scrap drives to go to ship building,etc.. You could cook in a skillet without a lid but not in a lid without a skillet!
Lol I bought the exact same Skillets you did and I've got that lid on order
Bought cast iron from catolge store, 8 price set with lids. May I boil with them or cook with them on a grill
It's funny that I didn't know that your video was 2 years old. But I still enjoyed it, I was wondering about a star that is inside one of my lids, who might have made it. And I have a 8CF that has a frying pan lid with a long handle . Thanks for the info 👍 😀 Hello from the high desert of MOJAVE in Phelan California
More like 10 years ago. Time certainly flies. The 8 CF pan is likely a Lodge chicken fryer, based on the CF mark. As for the other, I may have to ask if you could supply a photo.
Sorry, I don't know how .l do not have Facebook.
Both pan's have the same handles
Can I use cast iron on the grill
Yes
Hey long time viewer i just bought 2 wagnerware pots 8" and 9" one is marked with 1058m the other 1059m any help on the markings appreciated
Do you know how to identify unmarked camp ovens? I enjoy your channel and your wealth of information you share.
My grandma had a cast iron square pan that had a lid but I never could find it anywhere, I asked my grandpa about it and he said when they lived in northern Wisconsin he had a friend of his who worked with casting make one for grandma and a few more for some other friends. My question is did square pans ever come with a lid?
Hibbard lids any info on those?
I know of a bsr chicken fryer, red mountain, with lid. They are asking 65$, but it spins and wobbles. Is it worth getting it ? Thanks
These days that might be an acceptable price for a chicken fryer with lid in good condition. Quite a few BS&R pans were spinners; but if you think the warping is too bad, you can pass it by. A little bit of spinning shouldn't be a problem. My BS&R #10 is also a spinner.
Looking for a lipped lid/cover for a 15 inch skillet/ dutch oven
Hey hope you staying safe I found a #13 b camp pot and lid in woods was in rough shape but solid I took it home
13 is an unusual size. If you can provide a photo of the bottom where the number is, we may be able to help you identify it.
@@castironchaos all that's stamped on bottom is 13 b h and a cast line that looks like was filed down flat handle is flat the lid is just like the 13 skillet bar you have in vidieo
Lid has the coal lip also
I cook with cast iron exclusively and have always taken very good care of them. Last week I came across two old cast iron pans in the oven of my grandmother's guest house. My best guess is that they've been sitting there for a minimum of ten years. The lids are stuck on both pans and I cannot see an easy way to get them off. I thought I'd ask for advice before I try to pry them apart with a tool. There is very little rust on the pans, they're in Arizona which is a low humidity area so hopefully that's not the problem. I'd appreciate any help you can give me to separate these pans from their lids. Thanks!
I've heard you can soak the bottom part in ice water, and that will contract it enough to loosen the top.
Penetration oil just at where they join let soak. Nice whack with a dead blow plastic hammer will often separate them with little to no damage.
I read that some really old Dutch ovens had no markings on them at all.
The really old ones are practically guaranteed to at least have a gate mark. The new Asian made dutch ovens often have no markings at all on the top and bottom.
I wish I had vintage cast iron electric skillet
Sir got cast iron pots, may I boil in it
I have a lid without letters or numbers. It does have two lines running verticle and two horizontal across the top. Any idea who made it?
I've seen photos of that lid on the cast iron Facebook groups, and it's generally considered to be an unknown.
@@castironchaos Thank You
What kind of lid has 3 rings on inside
Lodge offers glass lids and cast iron lids your choice.
Would you sell your 13 inch lid? I have a pan I could use that on....
Actually, I'm keeping the lid and using it. First, it's a near-perfect fit on a Solidteknics 30 cm "BigSkillet", and I'm holding on to it for the possibility that, some day, I may find a BS&R 13 IN camp oven or spider.
Ok, I completely understand. I thought I'd try. 😉 Have a good one.
Bought cast iron from catolge store 8 price set for 99 bucks. Is this junk?????
