Cast Iron
I know this probably belongs in a different thread but you guys and gals are so knowledge about all things "iron" and old that I thought I would ask this here and hope that I get an answer (or many) before it gets deleted. So, I want to buy a cast iron 10" frying pan and a 5 QT. dutch oven but there are so many makes/models and reviews are sometimes all over the place so my brain is starting to melt down on the subject. I know the older cast iron is better but how do I know if something is older unless told so and are they believable? Anyone recommend a particular brand(s) that will not force me to sell my first born to buy it? Le Creuset is suppose to be very good but I would have to sell two of my children to buy one of them .... and I want two? Okay you guys/gals, let's hear it from the cast iron users. Thanks if you can help!
I probably need to start checking the charity shops and the "antique" stores that are not high end.
