I got enough cast iron to sink a battleship. Best darn stuff for cookin' about anythin'...except pasta - but who the hell eats that crap anyways? - Only girly boys and fat broads on diets, that's who. I've restored a couple pieces, but I ain't all that sophisticated - jus' used a wire wheel on my drill and some peanut oil. Don't think I ruint nuthin', cause the pan don't leak, still gets hot, turns fish and chicken nice and brown. I may have ruint it for makin' quish, but I don't eat that stuff neither.
