Lot #38: Vintage GSW Cast Iron Pan ~ 10”

Vintage GSW No. 8 Cast Iron Pan, Made in Canada. Recently seasoned for this auction. The surface is very smooth and non-stick. Some history: The “number” on the bottom corresponds not to diameter in inches, but to the burner ring size on an old-fashioned wood-burning stove. That means a No. 8 skillet is actually larger than 8 inches. Cast pans love being fried in. Use it on the stove, in the oven, on the bbq grill, and campfire grill. Cast iron is where it’s at. If you don’t already know, pre-heating a cast iron pan for 3–5 minutes on low-to-medium heat BEFORE adding food is necessary. This ensures even heating, creates a non-stick surface, prevents food from sticking, and produces a better sear. Without pre-heating, food often sticks, cooks unevenly, or results in a poor, steamed texture. It’s time to throw out those peeling teflon pans you have been using and replace them with cast pans. Cast iron pans have been around for over 2000 years for a reason. This pan is in Excellent condition, and will continue to be excellent. Dimensions: Approximately 10” cooking surface - 15” including the handle, 2” depth Pickup category timeslot {A}
