I ruined my moms Cast Iron Skillet. cry This was her favorite pan ever, and it burned up. I want to get her a new one for mother's Day, but I have no idea how much they are supposed to cost, or where to find a real one that will last forever!

Any Ideas???

I saw a bunch at wal-mart yesterday but the top one was cracked all the way through! Therefore I need to go somewhere that I know will have a good, real, cast iron skillet that will last a generation, not one that will break at the store.

Wal-Mart is no good, they had some, but the top one was broken. A 'cast iron skillet' that was sliced basically in half! I cant imagine that was a real iron skillet. But maybe I will try the bass pro shop!

Do a search for lodge cast iron skillets. They have them for sale online and lodge is a great brand of cast iron. They carry skillets, dutch ovens, and a whole lot more. I believe they ship at a reasonable cost also.

OK I have 6 cast iron skillets that have been handed down to me from my great grandma to my ma to me. How did you burn up her skillet? A true cast iron skillet can be brought back from damage as long as it has not been cracked or busted. All you have to do is go buy a can of shortening (a cheap brand) coat the skillet completely really thick coat of shortening all over the inside and outside of skillet. Let it set for 2-4 days and then the best thing to do is put the coated skillet into the fieplace with a well lit fire, but now since the weather is warmer, you can wipe of the shortening with a paper tool, NOT CLEAN IT ALL OFF JUST THE EXCESS, and then stick it in the oven that was preheated at 500 degrees for 20 minutes, and then take it out and let it cool competely. There should be no grease to wipe off. DO NOT wash it, just cook in it. Also anytime you wash any cast iron skillet never let it dry naturally or with a towel always put it in a heated oven of about 350 degrees to dry, this keeps it from rusting and/or thinning that causes cracks.

I had a grease fire in my kitchen. My skillet was in the middle of it, and most of the pan was ruined.... This pan was my moms favorite, I feel horrible!

I am so sorry to hear that. You can find real good heavy duty cast iron skillets at Amazon.com, eBay.com and Overstock.com, and great prices. Hope you find one and give your mom a great Mother's Day present!!

Well, I can see you DEFINITELY know about cast iron; I was getting ready to ask that myself, because we used to burn our skillets off in the campfire...they're pretty much indestructable, other than breaking or cracking, as you said.

Everyone today uses all this non stick reflon coated junk; I still prefer cast iron.

Thank You, I was born and raised here in the Mountains and so I come from the old country as they say and during the time I was raised I was fortunate enough to still have both sets of my grandparents, and great grandparents, and since I was the first grandchild and great grandchil born I was spoiled rotten and I was taught everything my grandparents knew from cookiing, cleaning, sewing, hunting, canning, and anything else you can think of...........lol.

Try garage sales. That is where I found my big one. There is usually someone who is clearing out their house. The next place would be at Walmart or a Hardware store, especially one that deals with camping. People love a cast iron skillet for camping because you can clean it with sand.

Tell me how you ruined it? I'm not sure how you could have burned it up. Mine made it through a house fire. We were able to scrub it down and reseason it and I'm still using it!
You can get them at camping stores, second hand stores will often have them, walmart carries them, as well as many hardware stores.

The best place is a store that sells kitchen and bathroom stuff, but not the big electronic equipment like stoves, washers, dryers, and dish washers. They will sell small conventional ovens, and mixmasters, blenders, anything that can be put in a cart and wheel out to your van. This is whhere do you normally get your pots and pans other then at Walmart or K-Mart, the ones that usually you find on a wedding register. Here in Canada, the place where you get the best Kitchen stuff is at Home Outfitters. That is because these stores deal in kitchen and bathroom stuff alone and do not do anything else so they will buy those specials that only a few are interested in.
