Podcast Skillets Up for Bid
If you caught our first video podcast a few weeks back, you’ll remember that we used three different skillets to demonstrate seasoning, repairing, and cleaning cast iron.
Two of these skillets can be yours if you’d like to bid on them on eBay.

One is the 10 1/4” skillet I used to
demonstrate seasoning bare cast iron. It has
never been used, and is a real find in my opinion
because I prefer seasoning skillets myself over
pre-seasoning.
The other is a Lodge pre-seasoned factory second
10 1/4” skillet that I used for demonstrating
how to fill in minor pits in a skillet’s cooking
surface. The pit is almost completely filled in
and will disappear with a few more uses. This
skillet has only been used twice to cook cornbread
and bacon in the podcast.
Both of these are very nice skillets and I’d be proud
to keep and use either one if it were not for the
fact that I already have two skillets of this size
and just don’t need two more.
The advantage for you as
a potential buyer comes from knowing the seller and
history of these skillets. Often you just have to
hope for the best when purchasing on eBay, but not
this time.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask in
the comments.
Video Podcast 1: Seasoning, Restoring, and Cleaning Cast Iron
You can click on the
above image to take you to the podcast, and you have
the option to view it in a variety of sizes, but
medium is default. Once you are at the podcast
page, if you want to download it to your
computer, click the download button that will look
like this at the top of the screen:
Clicking the download
button (only works once you are on the podcast
page--not here), will give you a variety of
sizes and formats in case you want to take the video
podcast with you on your iPod, for example.
In the future we will have the video podcast availabe
for subscription via iTunes, but it’s not quite set
up yet, and we didn’t want to wait to make it
available to you. Right now, running at 20 minutes
and 40 seconds, our video is also too long for
YouTube, but we may edit it into a part one and part
two and make it available that way as well.
We have lots of ideas for future video podcasts, but
we want to hear from you. Please give us your
thoughts in the comments below and feel free to offer
suggestions for future video podcasts.
