vtfireman85 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I think it is a pre 60’s Wagner, that based solely on this website and photograph. Figured for 10 bucks how far wrong could i go? I will clean it up and re-season, will post pictures of after as well. I don’t know about the “P” mark on the handle however. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

searcyfarms Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 wow had no idea they had such a following, i just use them, slap some bacon grease in there and go to cookin - best thing to use over gas stove/flame heat and frying about anything - specially if you want some crusty taters to go with your fried fish! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i am after a Griswold 10”-14” or several 😁. My grandparents had one, I think my aunt has it now. I have their 10” lodge. I also want a 12” deep fryer pan preferably Griswold. I came upon this on CL and as I needed to drop my daughter off this morning at daycare i made a detour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I’d say you are correct. Not all companies marked things well for some reason. This is a 12” I picked up last year, cleaned and re-seasoned. Last pic is “before” 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandhiller Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Just another tool to make my hamburgers when the pellet grill is buried under the snow. Sorry it ain't purty, it's used every day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
int 504 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 that's a good pan vt. In an attempt to avoid confusion I'll mention that the cast in numbers don't correspond with the later measurements on the bottom of the pan. At least not directly. A number 12 will be much larger than one marked 12" on the bottom. As a fellow pan collector happy hunting to all. The older ones are much better than the new remelted mystery metal ones made today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing I used on the one pictured above before seasoning. Otherwise known as pure Lye. Just remember that you always add lye to water and never add water to lye. It can react badly.

TN Hillbilly Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I can't get the new ones to season, no matter what I try. Bacon, sausage grease, butter, still don't get seasoned like they should. Any tips? Luckily I have a few old ones of Mom's. They're slick as glass, probably haven't seen soap or water in decades. Or maybe never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe never. I dont cook on cast a lot but I know the newer pans are a rougher cast than the older ones. That affects the seasoning. I just seasoned a camp chef Dutch Oven that was supposedly seasoned from the factory. I didn’t like the coating so I did it over. I use Crisbee puck. Warm the cast. Wipe it on (cover completely with towel) and bake at 425-450° for 30-45 min. Do this process three times. That company makes lots of cast seasoning products. Can be found on Amazon among other places. It will make a smooth pan reflect light 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
