What’s with Goodwill slapping a $20 price tag on an item like this?

Staying at a friends house with a very nice cast iron and some of the seasoning came off when cleaning it. How can I fix this before my friend comes home?

I tried re-seasoning with oil and heat on the stove a few times but it’s not helping and more keeps coming off when I cook.

I wish I could afford one of the smaller ones. I did not know they were still being made. The shipping from New Zealand would be expensive.

I've been making CI Pizza and recently did Milk Bread Butter and Honey Rolls. I got inspired to try focaccia. Turned out OK ! I'll make more dough next time so it's thicker and will dial in the ratios a bit more but stoked with the results. CI is so versatile !

This is 80% hydration. Going to use more dough so I can really poke down and dimple it better. 9" CI pan (I know it's a weird size but it fits perfectly in my air fryer)

Moved into a new rental house and the stove has this cast iron griddle. Hard for me to tell if that is rust and/or best way to restore it. Any tips?

I just wanted to share the cast from today's antique run

I found this large unmarked roasting pan while going through a deceased relatives things. it was my great-grandmother's, so there's no telling its age. There was a few of cast iron, but I claimed this one.

I'm new to restoring, but this is after a lot of elbow grease. this is just two seasonings after trying to soak, wash, and sand.

1. Ribeye fajitas

2. Today’s dinner Pork stirfry

3. Pork chops & gravy

4 &5. Lentil and back bacon soup

6. Just a seasoned veg omelette

7. Sausage Ragu.

8. Chicken curry & egg fried rice.

9. Pork chop and gravy, champ mash (spring onion)

10. My new pan I’m into already

11. More casts

Bought pan second hand a few years ago knowing almost nothing other than my wrists won’t tolerate the weight of modern pans in my price range.

I use it, but it always seems to get crud in and need scrubbing.

First pic is after oiling and cooking it off on the stove. Sending pic is before the oiling.

I got this pan from my mother in law and she said that she thinks she got it from her mother. I was just wondering if anyone had any more info about the age or origin of this pan. I am a complete noob with cast iron so wish me luck for my coming attempt at restoring it to working condition. Really thankful that the pinned guides are a great resource.

My Lodge griddle has a blob marking. I know I have seen numbers, hearts and blobs in other places. Any ideas what they mean?

i think i overscrubbed :( i am VERY new to cast iron. this is my first pan, and this was after my first use/clean.

It's not perfect but I'm happy with the result. I decided to find older pieces and restore them as Christmas present for family this year. Got this at a flea market for $25. It will head to a small town in Alaska at the end of the year.
