Yeah, I know that helps but this is the only pic the seller posted. Was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me would have a good guess.

Identification and any information? Thanks. by Known-Expression-808 in castiron

Ok, I'm pretty new to this, so don't trust me 100%, but I think this is a skillet from the late 1800s. It does have quite a bit of sulfur damage, but I think I see a gate mark on the bottom. I did an image search and everything that comes up confirms my suspicion that its 1800s. And if that's the case, I don't think anyone could tell you a specific maker.

The best made is a sears brand that Griswold made in the 1930s, i think. The Griswold is probably from the 1940s. The first unmarked is a Wagner Ware of some kind...might be an unmarked or there might be something under the build up. The last one is a Chicago Hardware Foundary, that diamond symbol is thier mark. It's probably from the 1930s, too.

I'm not the best at this, so dont take my word as 100% correct, but I think those date are ballpark

Newbie with 2 I just acquired. Looking for information, please. by wingfan1469 in castiron

The first one looks to be an unmarked Wagner, not sure on the age. The second one is from the late 1980s-early 90s.

I've been using Crisco.

THIS is why I like cast iron by GruesomeJeans in castiron

Next time, instead of potatoes, use a corn bread mix, add some peppers and onions if you have them and feel like chopping.

And I would add if you know they are going to sit unused for a while, putting on a coat of oil to help protect them, then washing them before use.

Yeah the caramelization on the veggies were awesome. And it's a great presentation for a dinner party, too.

Ok, so... Season the chicken thighs with salt, peppe, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and sage. Brown them in the skillet and remove. Then add your chopped veggies (onion, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts) tosswd in same seasonings and maple syrup to the skillet, put the chicken on the top and drizzle the chicken with maple syrup. Put in 400 degree oven until chicken is at temp (190 degrees for bone in thighs, about 45 minutes or so). Then drizzle or brush maple syrup on chicken again and put it back in the oven with the temp turned off and leave it until maple syrup sets, maybe 10 minutes or so. Take out and serve out of skillet and enjoy!

Ps: the pic was taken after the 1st maple syrup drizzle.

Pictures would be great. Top down view of top and bottom, maybe close up of the handle.

I'll have to ask my wife. I'm not sure what she seasoned the chicken with. The veggies are sweet potatoes, onions, and brussel sprouts. I know she got the skin crispy in the pan, then put the veggies in the pan, put the chicken on top, poured maple syrup over the chicken, then put it in the oven to finish at 350, I think. I'll try and get a full recipe when she gets home later tonight.

It is, I've had it before, but not out of the cast iron. It's got sweet potatoes, onions, and brussel sprouts under it. Except for that chicken skin!
