A community for cast iron cookware. Recipes, care, restoration, identification, etc.

Rules: Be helpful when you can, be respectful always, and keep cooking bacon.

More rules may come as the community grows, but for now, I'll remove spam or anything obviously mean-spirited, and leave it at that.

Also this might be off topic for this community as this is a carbon steel pan (Merten & Storck).

This sentiment is worth spreading. Cast iron pans were around long before anyone knew what a polymer was. You can get a -good- seasoning coat from just regular use. Active seasoning can give you a -better- one, but pans have lasted decades and generations on just the seasoning gained from cooking.
