Antique Favorite Piqua Ware #7A Cast Iron Skillet Restored Smooth DEAD FLAT

Griswold gets much of the attention in vintage cast iron. Its superior if you ask me.. At 9.5 inches wide, it weighs just 3.2 pounds. The sidewalls are approximately the thickness of a U.

Nickel, and the casting feels remarkably fine and light in the hand. Inside is a silky smooth cooking surface; underneath is a base that sits dead flat on my marble surface with no spin.

Favorite took its hollow ware seriously. In a period company catalog, the foundry described its fine molding sand, careful inspection, and dedicated machines that ground and polished the cooking interiors. It is a wonderful size for everyday use: eggs and bacon in the morning, a steak or skillet supper at night, or cornbread brought straight to the table. Its relatively light weight makes it especially pleasant to handle for a vintage iron skillet.

Marked Favorite Piqua Ware #7A. Sidewalls approximately the thickness of a U. Stripped to bare metal and seasoned three times.

Silky smooth interior cooking surface. Tested on a marble surface: sits dead flat, with no spin.

For induction users, the skillet's flat, stable base is an attractive feature. An exceptionally appealing piece of Piqua iron: finely cast, unusually light, beautifully smooth, and ready to return to the stove.
