Nice work! Cast iron truly is the opposite of planned obsolescence.
There's a reason they started selling pans where a single scratch makes people replace them...
A lodge would last a century, probably longer unless you stored it in salt water.
Ironically the only reason Lodge can be as big as they are today, is most people don't have a cast iron pan.
I got a big one and a small one. They're awesome and highly recommended, but I'll never ever need to buy from that company again now.
See that was my thought as well. The problem is they're addicting. Idk why or how but I now have 6 cast iron pans, two Dutch ovens, and a carbon steel wok.
Sounds like you might need a small carbon steel pan such as is popular in restaurants. The best for eggs.
Bruh, I ran out of space in the kitchen and ended up with a 36" Blackstone out back. Addictive is right!
I'm eyeing the deep 12" Lodge now but would likely have to give up an older 12 to make space.
