Cast iron, issue #118
Dear Backwoods Home Editor,
This is the first time that I read your magazine, and I loved it!
I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and we used cast iron pans to cook every meal. When I was married 13 years ago, my Dad gave me the complete pan set as a wedding gift. I have 6 pans from the original set that were my Great Grandmother’s and I have added a 12 inch dutch oven with legs and a lid (for camping) and a 12 inch deep sided skillet that I found dirt cheep at a yard sale (it was rusty and the lady did not know how to cure it). The lid from the dutch oven fits my 12 inch skillet and the deep sided skillet, it can also be turned upside down and used as a small griddle when camping. I will not cook with anything else!
Thank you for the great articles and your publication. I will be subscribing soon!
