Living Proof Grinders And Cast Iron Don't Mix
« on: April 28, 2016, 09:10:45 PM »
From the auction text:
"The inside of the pans are pewter/silver in color."

Notice how they are not seasoned either, well, except for the unground parts. Doesn't look like their little grinding experiment worked.

Yeah... there are a bunch of yahoos out in Facebookland who profess to be experts on making the New Lodge items "nice and smooth"  in their homemade shops... or kitchens.

At least it was a new Lodge and not a vintage piece.

Yes.  But just think of the confusion 50 or 60 years from now... ;D ;D :D

No confusion, somehow somewhere a copy of this forum will be embedded in Alphabetland Search Engine and they will find the truth.

A little heavy handed don't you think?

Hello Dwayne. This is like saying Bonnie and Cyde were not friendly customers at the bank.  ;D

That all seems to.be a little excessive.  I recently took a grinder to my new production Lodge no 10 skillet.  It cooks like a champ now.   Super non stick.  In my defense, I had little to lose considering I had previously warped this thing to the point of almost being able to eat cereal out of it.

No mess. :)

Tommy, it would have cooked like a champ without the alteration!  Just a little bit of patience for that rougher surface to fill in with seasoning and become smoother. ;)

I agree Cheryl. I've never had a problem with a new Lodge.

I didn't have a problem with it.  Other than the fact the bottom was so warped that water pools in the center.   I just wanted to play with it and test out the grinding smooth theory.    I didn't go very fine and I certainly ly didn't polish it but with one or 2 coats of crisco, it is ridiculously slick.    I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't already damaged.  Plus, now I'm using it as a trainer pan for my beautiful wife to learn cooking on cast iron.  ;D
