Cooking With Cast Iron

I have always loved cooking with cast iron and use my cast iron skillets every day. It's a trait and a skill that I inherited from my mother. Yesterday, while sitting in the waiting room of Silas's prosthetic doctor in Joplin, I had the good fortune of stumbling across the following article in an old issue of Martha Stewart's LIVING magazine:

Shaping History: Vintage Cast-Iron Baking Pan

  1. My grandmother used cast iron pans for all of her cooking. I remember that she also had the ear of corn pan. I don't know what happened to that pan after she passed but I would love to have it today. Such sweet memories from a little pan.:)
