Yesterdays project was to grind down my old iron skillet to refurbish after what I realized over 50 years of my use. It was my 1st purchase at a swap meet where I negotiated the guy down from $2.00 to $1.75, back when 25 cents meant something in 72'

It was used and rusted when I bought it but mom explained the old ones are better.

Turns out truer than ever these days. This old Griswold #8, 740z is worth at $100usd. Cast iron NGU! Try that with stainless🤣

The new ones are cheaply made and heavier. Cast iron 101 research, better buy used and refurbish.

Anyhow got it cleaned and on the bbq to cure while slow smoking a leg of lamb.
