Can't beat cast iron skillets. I have new Lodge skillets and old cast iron skillets from my grandmother and great grandmother. I like the old skillets better than the new ones.

My Dad made popcorn every Sunday night in a cast iron pan, our poporn pan. We'd each get a little bowl and watch Bonanza, LOL.

Since our new range is ceramic cook top, we can't use them on it, but walk out to the deck and use the ancillary burner on our gas barbecue. Only problem is that the aroma is gone with the wind, but we suffer through it.

I love Lodge cookware! I had to give all mine away as I now have weak wrists and canтАЩt lift them.

So sorry about your wrists, but there might be help. About a month ago, I overdid (for an almost 80 year old guy) repairing our pasture fence. X-rays revealed a couple of my carpals drifted apart and I've been wearing a very effective and inexpensive wrist brace for almost a month. I'm much better, but still have to baby it a little and snooker one of my young friends into doing it next time. Take a look: https://tinyurl.com/yufkv9dc

Thanks. Tried a full reply and it wasnтАЩt working. I have one like this but itтАЩs my bowling wrist support. Yes, it quite helpful along with exercises from PT

I drive past South Pittsburgh with my Amish neighbors often as they have family just over the border in Alabama. We never stop. They already own every cast iron pot ever made ЁЯШДЁЯШД and discussions of the fine points of wood cook stoves makes stimulating conversation! Lodge has the drawback of a somewhat rough cooking surface that is hard to keep well seasoned and stick-free. But there is a fix if you canтАЩt find the old used ones that are smooth as glass. I know it works because IтАЩve done it. Get out your angle grinder, put on a fine grinding stone and have at it. Once smooth, season with bacon grease. Presto bango! An heirloom!
