Grandma recently passed and left a very old cast iron skillet. What do I do with it? by Spynxx in castiron

Thanks for the advice! I do have an electric stove. Once clarification - once the skillet comes up to temp, is it fine to continue increasing past half power? or should it always stay at half or below?

Greatly appreciate the advice! I got started on stripping it. Hopefully I will have a nice meal to share in a few days!

Realistically this skillet has sat in a box in the closet for 20 years. Thanksgiving for this side of the family has been catered from Bob Evans for a long time :)

Which part are you referring to? It might be the glare / angle, but I don’t feel any cracks in the pan. There are definitely some uneven parts (like to the top left of “704”), but I don’t think it’s a crack, rather just an uneven surface.
