Buying Used Griswold Skillets

What to do when you buy used Griswold Skillets?

Some well-regarded quality antique Griswold Skillets are made by Griswold and Wagner. Books were written about both products in regards to the different types of cast iron cookware as well as information on how much these things are worth. You can are still able to come across some of these iron skillets in at the local thrift store. It’s striking that these can be found for a handful of dollars, since these skillets can offer you several years of service in the kitchen.

When getting your used Griswold skillet, it’s got to be seasoned, simply because used iron skillets have often been scrubbed free of the shiny coating (the patina) and are rusty.

Here’s how you can season your “new” used griswold skillets:

Before doing anything you’ll need to wash the pan in hot water and some soap, then dry it. If your pan has a lot of old build up, be sure to wash it thoroughly. Immediately after cleaning, wipe the surface with a dry towel saturated with cooking oil (but make sure to wring it once before you apply anything… it’ll be easier to use).

Then, put it upside down into a preheated oven (350 degrees) and heat it for one hour. Once the hour is up take skillet out of the oven and let it cool off (in a place where your kids or grandkids can’t get their hands on it… be careful it’s VERY hot).

How to clean your Griswold skillets after cooking.

After cooking you need to rinse it with hot water and lightly scrub the pan (don’t go too crazy, you want some of the “grease” / oil on the pan) and put the skillet under water to rinse it off. Try not use too harsh of dish soap on the skillet (if any at all), and dry it right away after washing it.
