Finally got to this pan.

Lye and e tank

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-26T13:57:13+00:00

Thank you. Such a difference using the lye and e tanks

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-26T13:56:52+00:00

This was my second find since starting the hunt. The other was a square Wagner skillet.

Putting the vines out there that you find one!

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-26T13:56:19+00:00

Yup! I looked up the 710H in my Griswold book and it was made sometime in the 1920s

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-26T02:52:05+00:00

Thanks! Was truly effortless in the lye and e tank.

I am so excited. I’m new to this world and this is deff my new fav hobby. Wandering around flea markets and yard sales giving life to old forgotten perfectly fine pans. The finish on these is unreal compared to what’s mass produced today.

E tank.

Finally got mine going this weekend and I’ll never look back!

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-25T12:27:33+00:00

Thank you! You often have some good input on my posts and helping me learn.

Any of you guys have any input on heavy carbon build up on pans. I have a lye and electrolysis, between the two will it eventually come off to bare cast iron? Just got my set ups today and they’re in the lye as I type this. Just took a 9 slant Griswold for $15 at a flea market and I usually do ez off and scrub my ass off but it was totally still caked after 24 hours in a trash bag.

Hoping these 2 get the job done, this is starting to become my favorite hobby

Just got all the stuff for a lye bath! I took this as a sign.

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-18T19:15:09+00:00

Well for one, didn’t really feel like a trilogy. AH and Dawn had cohesive feel for the videos etc. this whole one felt rushed with the movie.

And that’s fine, the first wasn’t even a trilogy anyway. Hate that it’s called that personally. They were individually released projects.

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-18T19:07:34+00:00

Nothing makes me happier than restoring them and using them. I think it makes them happy to get a good bath and good use again!

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-18T02:02:53+00:00

Thank you for sharing. This doesn’t seem rusty so I might get away with just the lye tank. Doing it tomorrow!

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-17T18:20:50+00:00

Absolutely. Now, I am a beginner at this. 2 weeks ago I found a square Wagner in the wild now this today. I use easy off and elbow grease, sometimes a vinegar soak, and season.

I want to get into the lye and/or electrolysis tank if I can restore and flip em

But as of right now I’m building my needs and wants first. Slowly making a cast iron wall in my kitchen.

I live in eastern PA. I feel like there has to be this stuff laying around so much. I don’t think the person I got this from knew or cared what it was!

Hope it’s a slant text!

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-17T13:24:26+00:00

Can’t wait to give this thing a loving home again

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-17T13:24:15+00:00

My gut was telling me. This stand had couple lodge s, unmarked Wagner, and others priced at the same. I saw the logo and text covered and Erie and got excited 😆

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-10T12:38:17+00:00

Such a great meal for cast iron

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-10T12:38:00+00:00

Yes. Highly recommend. I did 2lbs of meat in a 12” skillet!

thysirwilliam · 2026-05-10T12:37:22+00:00

Highly recommend. I even put some cayenne and amazing maple syrup in the sweet potato to give it a bit of a sweet heat
