First...I love my vintage cast iron frying pans.

I have quite a collection of Griswold pans, that I use everyday.
I have restored and sold more than 5000 pans!!- I know what I\'m doing.
Tips:Put a little water in the pan and heat gently on your stove top.
Use a flat bottom wood spatula to gently remove the \"stuff\".
Avoid scrubbing with brillo type scrubbers at all cost.Testimonials:Just wanted to write and say \'Thank You So Much\' for the two beautifully restored #10 Griswold pans you sent me before the holidays!I\'m sure you know all the history, but Griswold Manufacturing was founded by my great, great grandfather, Matthew Griswold VII.I\'m Matthew XI, and my son carries the name as well.I gave your two pans one each to my two sons for Christmas.My eldest just sent me this picture saying \'that guy knows his *stuff*,I just cooked eggs on here, and you can\'t even tell I used it!\'Best from down the River, Matt Griswold.
The two skillets and griddle are here, and I am of the opinion that you are a cast iron God.The pieces are very beautiful, and the seasoning is the best I have seen,and I am 67 years old and own well over a hundred pans.You can count on the fact that I will be buying from you in the future.All the best. Stay safe. Scott
Thanks Jay, I appreciate the signature requirement and will have it delivered to the UPS access point next door.BTW, the Griswold 8 I purchased from you last year is in excellent shape and cooks like a champ.Biscuits n gravy, sausage n peppers, eggs slide ride out. Cheers!Frank

Hi there Jay,I just wanted to take a few minutes to express the joy I am experiencing with the pan!!!It came so quickly and the packing was even beautiful done! I use the pan nearly daily!From pancakes to sockeye salmon, it is just perfect!I would highly recommend your pans and shop to everyone!So from the bottom of this foodie?s heart, thank you!Looking forward to a future purchase. Have a lovely day, Vanessa.
Just cooked in the Wagner today. Absolutely the best seasoning job I?ve ever seen.
Hi Jay, bought another number 3 large logo pan and I need to pick upa couple of more someday so keep me in mind. Five kids, great gifts.This one is number 20 that I have purchased from you!
Although I have an extensive collection of Griswold, I have always watched your items sell for a premium.My \'cracked\' purchase was more or less to see what was \"special\" about your items.VERY impressed with seasoned finish . No doubt it is a timely process. Well done! Thx - Tim
Hi, I just want to let you know I\'m very happy with my new pan.I cooked 8 steaks & eggplant parmigiana & everything came out great.The finish makes cleanup easy, just following your care tips.There\'s nothing better than cooking with a quality piece of cookware and seeing the smile on people\'s face when you serving good food - Thank you
Thanks Jay. I\'m over 15 purchases now. This one is for my daughter. She loves her 9\" griddle.This is a good compliment to that one for eggs - john
WOW! Thanks so much! This is a gift and having seen it I\'ll be hard pressed to give it up!Thanks for a great product and for shipping quickly. I couldn\'t be happier.
This is the third such pan I\'ve ordered from you.The first as wedding gift to my wife and we loved it so much that we started giving them as wedding gifts to family!
I don\'t mean to speak poorly of others, but I\'ve spent a lot of money on new boutique cast iron that was supposedly well seasoned, and your work is 1,000% better.Plus I love the idea of cooking with history. 1930s and soon a 1910 pan. How does that not make breakfast more fun!
Hi, just wanted to say what a great job restoring that circa 1935 8\" Griswold skillet!And the packing was fantastic! Looking forward to doing future business!
I received your pan and what a great work it is.If a person didn\'t know better they would believe it was brand new, not a century old. My compliments.
Just love the #10 large logo griswold griddle that I just got.It\'s not cheap, but I pay for quality.I\'ll be buying more from you.
Hi, bought a #9 off you last year - awesome skillet and awesome quality restoration!Interested in the #4 slant logo but want I would really like is a Griswold Griddle -I grew up using my Grandfathers and would love to give one to my wife for Christmas -any chance you have one? Thx, Dan
Jay, I bought a #6 Griswold from you a couple of years ago. It is great and is still being used almost every day.Regarding the #9 above, I\'d like to send it to my son-in-law in Arizona for Christmas. Any problem with that?Thanks, Ken (No problem).
First thing I tried was a single scrambled room temp egg on low heat in ghee and the cooking surface performed like a dream.The heat ring did make for a slightly longer preheat on my glass cooktop, but no matter.It will probably be my dedicated egg pan going forward. Thanks again and Happy New Year.
I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying this pan.I have never had a cast iron skillet that performed this well.It often behaves like a non-stick, even with eggs. Thanks again for making such items available!regards - Gary
Q&ADO I need to season the pan before I use it (I think you said you had seasoned it, but I\'m not sure)No. I have seasoned this pan 5 times with flax seed oil. It is my experience that this is enough pre-seasoning.
Do I need to cook something special in the pan the first few times(maybe fry bacon a few times before I try anything else)Nope....nothing special. Feel free to wash the pan with soap first, no problem, flax oil will not wash off.
When I use the pan, just use water, no soap? Water and maybe a plastic scraper if needed, then dry very well, maybe put the pan on a burnerto be sure it is dry. Then rub some flax seed oil or Crisco oil or some kind of oil on it, just a little bit of oil?No doubt, depending on what you cook, there will be some stuck on stuff. I use a flat bottom wood spatula to gently remove the stuck on stuff, with hot water, I\'m sure plastic is ok...you can put it back on the stovetop for really baked on stuff. Never let the pan soak for a long period of time in water. Sometimes I put my pans back on the burner to dry them thoroughly, then rub a few drops of any type of vegetableoil on the interior. Do not use flax seed oil. Once a pan has been used, flax oil is no longer appropriate.
Never use high heat on this stove when cooking, burner should be a medium at the highest? Correct?The flax seed oil seasoning is very durable, and can take a good deal of heat. When preheating the pan, when it starts to smoke, that\'s about as hot as you want to get it. If you overheat it the seasoning will burn off. So, I\'d say Medium High is a pretty good rule.
Now when I makes eggs or hamburgers or fry ham, do I need to put some oil in the pan before I use it?When I fry my eggs, I always put some oil in the pan (I use olive oil almost exclusively), but I always put a small amount of butter in the pan as well...maybe just a teaspoon. For some reason, butter seems to be key to stick free fried eggs...I\'m not sure why? Probably margarine would work as well. If I just use oil, my eggs are more likely to stick.
Never make tomato sauce (spaghetti sauce or chili) in the cast iron skillet it will ruin the seasoning, correct?Well...I never use my cast iron to cook acidic food...like tomato sauce. Of course that is a rule I had before I started using flax seed oil for seasoning. I have a feeling the flax seed oil seasoned pan would do much better with acid than one that was not seasoned with flax oil...so, If you want you could try it, I don\'t think it would hurt the pan. But I don\'t do it.Is there anything else I should know before I use my new pan? Also, do you have any idea about how old this pan is? (Is it from 1920 era or maybe 1940\'s? or maybe you have no idea, just asking)If you follow my cleaning hints, and don\'t overheat the pan, you will love it for the rest of your life! :) The Large Block Logo pans, without a heat ring, were made in the 1930\'s.
Sometimes I have trouble with scrambling eggs in the #8 - I always scramble three eggs:Please remember that while cast iron pans can be low stick (depending on what you are cooking), they are not non-stick pans. With gentle cleaning and always keeping them lightly oiled your results should improve over time. Scrambled eggs is a very tough test. I use mine for fried eggs, and find a little butter is the key to them not sticking. I do use my #5 for 2-3 scrambled eggs. This pan has a glass smooth cooking surface. I oil the interior of the pan and then use a fair amount of butter. I try not to move the eggs too much...just enough, and my results are very good. Cast iron pans are not for everyone, as they do require special care. I am happy to accept any returns if it is not working out for you, no problem. Thanks - Jay
I have a question pertaining to after you cook in the pan, mainly what kind of towel or paper towel are you using to apply oil and wipe out excess oil?. Once I cook, I then use a wood scrapper for any tough bits, but then I use a paper towel to wipe out everything, then I heat the pan up slightly, apply a small amount of Olive Oil, spread it all around, continue to let it heat thoroughly, then turn off heat and wipe out excess oil with paper towel and let the pan cool. The problem I am having is that I have used paper towels, cotton cloth diapers as well as cotton tea towels, but they all leave some lint residue, what can I use that is lint free?I use Walmart brand paper towels. Everybody has a little different way of cleaning the pans. Sometimes, like when I fry my eggs, there is nothing stuck to the pan, and I just wipe it out with a paper towel, and I don\'t have any problem with lint. If there is some stuck stuff, I wipe all the grease out of the pan with a paper towel and I wash it. I use hot water, with no soap on the interior. Most of the time i just use my fingers, but sometimes a non abrasive scrubber or wood spatula very lightly. I often use soap on the exterior of the pans but rinse it off and don\'t get any on the interior. Then I dry it with more paper towels. Then I heat it up a little to make sure its 100% dry, then I oil it lightly with another paper towel....or maybe a paper napkin. That should keep your pans in very nice condition. Of course there will be changes in the appearance as it becomes used, so it wont stay looking brand new, but seasoning will slowly build up over the years, and it will become more and more non stick. Hope that helps - Jay
