Iron Skillets

These are a must have for every cook, there is nothing like a well seasoned iron skillet for frying, sauteing, and baking. The ones in the photo are from my Grandmother and have to be over 50 years old, so they are well seasoned. The trick to making these skillets work is the way you prepare them before use and during there cooking life. When they are new wash well and rub the inside with lard or Crisco and place into a 500 degree oven (make sure you have good ventilation) for a good hour, let cool and repeat 2 or 3 times. There ready to use, never soak in water, wash after use and rub with oil, return to stove top and heat on high heat for 3 to 5 Min's, they will smoke allot so have on the ventilation......

Do this every time and you will see how good they preform.....
