Thought it needed more seasoning. My daughters concurred!

Four cast iron skillets here, each a different size. Did my eggs in the 6½" just an hour ago. Third gen ownership. Wouldn't give 'em up.

We have two first-gen and one second-gen. The second gen is amazingly smooth. I'm cooking bacon as fast as I can to get the others as well seasoned as my wife's grandmother's is.

Cast iron makes for some of the very best cookery. I have two cast iron skillets and a cast iron Dutch oven. One skillet was my grandmother's, the other one no one knew how long it'd been in the family. The Dutch oven has been in my mom's family for about 100 years.

The missus uses them daily. The flat one makes excellent quesadillas.

Wife won't cook bacon in the house. Says it smells up the house too much.

Yes it does smell up the house - with ambrosia!

Love the smell of bacon, like the taste even better!

My dad, an old farm boy, had his eggs and bacon cooked in a large tin frying pan, as was cooked by my grandmom. He cooked them in an inch of bacon grease and Lard. My boys called them grandpops floaters! My grandmom cooked that way on the farm on a big old cast iron cook stove. She fed 12 people at breakfast, sometimes more during harvest season, every day! Steak, eggs, potatoes, bacon, ham, and toast was the norm, coffee for the grown-ups, and pure cow's milk for the kids. My dad passed at 90 years old, cholesterol wasn't the cause as one might think, he passed from Alzheimer's. This post just brought back some boyhood memories I totally forgot about.

I have friend who takes my bacon when it comes with a meal at a restaurant. I tell him “if bacon grew on trees you would be a vegetarian”.
