Cast iron cookware ?

IroquoisArcher · 04-12-2003, 05:12 PM

Hope this is the right place to ask.
Does anyone know a site to look to see prices of old cast iron cookware? My mother just gave me a Griswold skillet and griddle, 2 Vollrath skillets and a Carlisle dutch oven that belonged to her mother. Am curious as to there value.
Thanks.

I agree with tree climber, those old used cast iron skillets beat out all those new ones on the market, enjoy using them, and maybe you could cook a dish that tasted just like Grandma made. I doubt they are worth anthing except sentmental value as alot of folks out there still have and use them. I have a couple you mentioned also.

Remember that if you want them to last keep them oiled and never wash them in a machine. Just a little tip

Dido on keeping them. If you have to wash them, oil them real good and then put thim back on the fire a little while then carefully wipe them off and let them cool.
Chef, hows the shoulder?
