I’m so excited! Happy dance :D The postie delivered a bee-u-ti-ful Griswold #10 skillet and lid today. All the way from USA courtesy of the wonderful Stuart Lowery, who cleaned them impeccably, and packaged them up with the utmost care to ensure safe delivery.
Now, the rest is up to me. And that makes me a little nervous, as I want to look after these babies.
It is near impossible to get Crisco over here, except from one online company, which sells a 1lb tub for around $8 – and which is out of stock at the moment anyway. I need to find another oil to season them with.
So, I was hoping for advice on alternative seasoning oils? Anyone had success with olive/coconut/grapeseed/peanut/sunflower etc.?
I’ve read somewhere that coconut may not be best due to the low smoke point??
Also, is it best to have the skillet upside down when seasoning in the oven?
All advice and recommendations are greatly appreciated for this excited newbie. Thank you :)
