I just finished it up the night before last.Nice job on the restoration. Have you tried the square egg pan yet? How does the pan do as far as eggs(sunny side up, soft yolk) sticking?
After cleaning them up, do you re-season them with oil then in the oven?
We get ours from antique stores, second-hand stores, tractor shows and flea markets. Smooth surface is better than any texture.
They usually have to be de-rusted and reseasoned, but that's not hard.
I have a question...how do you properly season cast iron cookware, then, how do you properly clean and maintain it. I`ve read a couple ways, so that`s confusing. When I used mine a lot, I would scrub it with soap and water, then dry it on low heat on the stove top, before coating it again with Crisco and letting it dry.
I rarely let water touch mine. Paper towels is about all I need and if it needs more I have a stubby, stiff brush to get sticky bits.
