I have three I use regularly. A small one that is for eggs only. It works better than any "non-stick" surface I've ever owned. Two larger ones for general use. I have two more in the garage that need to be cleaned and reseasoned. On Wed, Nov 29, 2023, at 20:46, Dwight Giles via Mercedes

I have one from Angie's grandmother and several from mine. We've also got my grandmother's dutch oven at camp. Most of my pans are modern Lodge that I bought in about 1999. It took years to get them really well seasoned. That was back before we made tacos very often... -Curt On Wednesday,

People make an awfully big deal out of seasoning pans. I'm convinced making taco meat is the best treatment a cast iron pan can have. Besides that I'm not all that worried about it until we cook something that's very acidic like tomato sauce. That'll strip the seasoning so I'll oil it and bake

Right, which makes me laugh at these Fakebook kids starting “repair shops” to work on these. It’s a niche market that is shrinking and unless you are someone like Pierre doubting it will be successful. Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 29, 2023, at 3:51 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote:

Back in the early 90s thru maybe 10 years ago there were 5 old MB only shops in Tulsa specializing in classic MB. All of those but one were run by former dealer techs I do believe. The last one being run by an old German dude who was grumpy as hell. At least 10 years ago one of them retired.
