Hi Carey,

Thank you so much for this feedback. I created this post before I had a recipe plugin on my site and so unfortunately at this moment, you are correct there is no printable version (unless you copy and paste). I will do my best to get into this post this week and create a recipe card for it. I’ll leave another comment when that’s done.

Best Wishes,

Crystal

You’re awesome! Thank you Marc!

I added your category page to the post as a reference. Happy to help whenever possible. 🙂

Thank you Marc. I love your Cast Iron Roundup! If you ever make another we’d love for you to include any of our cast iron recipes in it. We have quite a few. They can be found here: https://hellocreativefamily.com/category/foodandrecipes/cast-iron-skillet-cooking/.

We also have a great resource on how to buy a used cast iron pan, reburbish and season it! It has everything you need to know in one article. You can find it here:

Hi Kim,

The ones that I found at the thrift store don’t have any discernible markings of what brand they are. One of my cast iron frying pans passed down from my grandparents’ doesn’t either.

We usually go for the 10.5 inch ones but I think it would be fun to get some different sizes.

I look at whatever thrift stores I go into for them. Value Village, Goodwill, Salvation Army, independent thrift stores. Because of the nature of thrift stores I don’t think there would be one that would be better than others since most of them get their items by donation. You could look for thrift stores/antique stores that are independently curated but then they are going to have a much better idea of the value of things and are going to charge a lot more for their cast iron than someplace like the Salvation Army.

I would suggest that you don’t worry about the brand for your first one or two cast iron frying pans. Get pans that you can refurbish and start using then start your hunt for the name brand ones when you aren’t feeling like you “have to buy one” because you want to start cooking with it. 🙂

Thank you for visiting and for your great question Kim!

Which brand(s) of cast iron skillets did you pick up for refurbishing at Value Village? Are they vintage ones? What is sizes did you get?

Which thrift stores are the best ones to check out for vintage cast iron skillets made in the USA ?

You’re lucky to have some ironware passed on to you within your family generations.

Thank you Merry! I really appreciate it. 🙂

Hi Cheri,

Thank you so much for visiting. You can definitely do this in a regular baking pan. I have 2 cast iron frying pans and we use them for EVERYTHING. They are non stick, are a fabulous heat conductor plus I think there is a bit of a “wow factor” when you serve a meal or dessert straight to the table in your cast iron. I actually just picked up 2 more at Value Village that we are going to refurbish.

My cast iron pans are over 100 years old and have been passed down through the generations in my family so it feels special to cook in them.

But yes. 🙂 You can definitely cook this in a baking dish. I would highly recommend searching for an old cast iron pan at your local thrift store, refurbishing it and try cooking in it.

Best Wishes,

Crystal
