Btw, 1800's old! That's friggin AWESOME! I hope most people realize that those old skillets are heirloom items. Imagine the history that those old skillets have been through. Probably been held by heros of old. 👍🏻
You're good fren. I am actually subscribed to a cool based old western guy on YT that shows how to restore old cast iron skillets, how to clean them properly, how to season them, store them etc. I like stuff like that. You never have to shut up fren.
Iron is a relatively hard metal. Vs Aluminum or Copper which are soft and bend easily. Iron bends much less easily than those. But it is much more brittle.
they make anvils out of iron because they keep their shape when pounding other metals against it. Iron is a very hard metal. It's brittle though, as a trade off, so cast iron skillets, which are relatively thin on the bottom, can break more easily with impact. Softer metals would dent or bend instead
I think because you maybe don't understand what it is. Look up the difference between brittle vs soft. Normally harder substances are more brittle. Meaning they tend to break rather than bend.
I'm not saying you used the word bend. The word soft would mean an object would tend to bend. from a physics perspective, one would use that word to describe something with a tendency to bend. Harder substances don't bend. They break. That's why I'm saying that they only thing you said which is incorrect is that cast iron is "soft". it is not. It is one of the hardest metals available. It breaks not because it is soft, but because it is brittle. which means it is very hard, but will break rather than bend. also depending on how you heat and cool it, it can weaken the strength of the cast iron, causing it to be more brittle.
the best example of hard & brittle vs soft is a pillow vs concrete.
very easy to bend a pillow. almost impossible to break it. a pillow is very soft
vs
almost impossible to bend concrete. relatively easy to break it. concrete is very hard, but brittle.
hard & brittle vs soft and malleable. Cast Iron is one of the hardest known metals. very resistant to bending. easy to break. hard and brittle. not soft.
another would be diamond vs gold. gold is very soft and malleable. diamond is very hard. maybe the hardest known substance. you won't be bending a diamond. but you will be breaking of pieces of it to clean it up for display in jewelry. I hope that make sense
Feck this beyotch. Once watched her show because she's an Oklahoma girl, even looked forward to her putting out cookware. Did she use the US for her manufacturing? Hell no, she went to those water buffalo fucking chinese bastards.
These are not the Skillets Al Sharpton was looking for.
Are they?
I collect them actually, Wagners, Griswolds, Gate marks, ETC
Little known fact, they can shatter if you hit them too hard. Iron IS a metal but it's a softer metal. It isn't steel, the Skillets can break in half, splinter, or shatter.
I have some Wagners and Griswolds...what are Gate marks and what do I look for? Absolutely love cast iron and don't use anything else around our home.
Gate marks are pretty much just a line on the bottom of the pan, usually they don't have names, they are blank.
It's from the molding process in the early days of making cast iron cookware. It just tells you it's a very old piece.
Did not know that. frens will be seeing if they can break it on the heads of antifa.
I hope I get to see pictures.
Take care, you!
Video would be better, with excellent sound 😂🤣
Interesting! Thanks fren!
I just really like restoring them, before I shut up I just wanted to say my oldest one is from the 1800's. (AA&co )
Ok, shutting up about my hobby now. Thanks!
How do I just maintain mine? Everything sticks! I can’t figure it out?
Seasoning.
How does it look? is it rough and patchy, like scales?
The best way I learned is through this. Though I would recommend 300-350 degrees.

You are very kind.
Thank you.
Just a based patriot like yourself fren, no need to thank me. 🇺🇸
It isn't soft, but brittle. If it were soft, it would bend rather than breaking
I said it was a softer metal, not that it was rubber.
Gold is a softer metal as well, which is why they have to put it over a stronger metal when making it into Jewelry.
Iron is a relatively hard metal. Vs Aluminum or Copper which are soft and bend easily. Iron bends much less easily than those. But it is much more brittle.
I honestly don't know how else to explain to you what "It's a softer metal" is.
they make anvils out of iron because they keep their shape when pounding other metals against it. Iron is a very hard metal. It's brittle though, as a trade off, so cast iron skillets, which are relatively thin on the bottom, can break more easily with impact. Softer metals would dent or bend instead
And Anvils can still break.
Iron IS a softer metal.
That's a fact.
You want to misrepresent what I said, and I don't care for that.
I'm not misrepresenting anything
hardness is a technical term. Breaking vs bending.
Anvils break but don't bend... because they are hard, not soft
hard things break, soft things bend
I'm just telling you the proper terminology for cast iron is "brittle" which causes it to break
a soft metal would bend instead of breaking
have a good day
I think because you maybe don't understand what it is. Look up the difference between brittle vs soft. Normally harder substances are more brittle. Meaning they tend to break rather than bend.
I think you are misinformed.
Where did I use the word "Bend" at all?
Why are you so intent on claiming I said something I never did? what the fuck is your deal?
Downvote all you want
Cast Iron is one of the hardest metals
This makes it brittle
It is by no means soft
If it were soft it would bend
It does not bend, it breaks instead
Cast Iron is very hard
And brittle
Not soft!

you can see in this chart
https://www.azahner.com/resources/metal-hardness/
Cast iron is one of the hardest metals across Rockwell scale, yield strength, and ductility vs other relatively hard metals
it is brittle though which can cause it to break when you only have a thin piece of it
cheers

Ah damn, I didnt know that. Sheeeiiit! Wish I knew a based skillet maker.
Isn't Lodge made in USA?
Yes
Best thing ever the skillet master let me guess skillets will be called racist too.
KEK! Best part is, they cant call skillets racist because skillets are black. Egg on their faces if they do (no apologies for the pun).
They have mini egg skillets if you need a personal protection not as good as a full skillet. This has got to turn into more memes
There are grill skillets, that can leave those nice lines.
KEK kek! Do it 👍🏻
I GOT A FEVER!!!!

I cook eggs in my cast iron. You just have to properly season the pan.
My cast iron is the beesknees
When we see Skittles, the only reply is Skillets.
😂🤣👍🏻
