Some cast Iron frying pans that were my grandmothers. Also an old,old,
cast iron bean pot, the kind with little legs on it so it won't sit on a
burner, It has a bail for hanging it in a fireplace, I don't cook in it
but it sits on my counter with utensils in it.

I GUESS MY OLDEST UTENSIL IS MY LITTLE 8 IN CAST IRON SKILLET THAT
BELONGED TO MY GRANDMA I COOK IN IT 3-4 TIMES A DAY. IT MUST BE 100.

I have a roasting pan that was my Mom's. I'm not sure how old it is, but
I love that thing. It cooks great and I have many happy memories of Mom
cooking in it.:-)

I HAVE LOST MY FAVORITE POTS IN THE MOVE HERE. MY OLDEST AND FAVORITE
WAS A LARGE RED IRON POT. I MADE SOUP, STEWS, CANDY,AND EVERYTHING ELSE
IN IT. IT WAS HEAVY BUT NOTHING BURNED IN IT.

A cast iron muffin pan. Given to me by my Aunt Olga, I believe.
Shirley 8/05 12:33am

WEEK NOT A DAY.

My oldest pots are a set of Revere Ware that was given to me for a
wedding present by the people I worked with. There were originally 4
pieces but now there are only the 2 skillets and the small sauce pan. It
was only a few years ago that I burned up the medium sized sauce pan.
These pans have been used constantly for 56 years. Surely, the best
present I ever received.

I also have an old set of Revere wear. Very good stuff, A few years ago I
bought a new set of it. It's NOT the same. The new stuff is so light
weight, Not nearly as nice as the old.

I HAVE AN OLD OLD NESCO ELECTRIC ROASTER. IT STILL WORKS BUT I AM
AFRAID OF THE CORD. I HAVE SEVERAL CAST IRON SKILLETS OF MY MOMS AND
ONE FROM MY GRANDMOM. MAKES BEST CORNBREAD.

I think it is a 1 qt sauce pan. It has the teflon coating.(that's not
right. The other coating they first came out with.) I'm having a senior
moment. Can't remember what it's called . It probably is 30 +
years.

I have a set I bought in 1982. I have always enjoyed it. I had a full
set of cast iron, but some how lost the stew pans when we moved here 27
years ago. I still have 4 or 5 skillets and the dutch oven. I had a
picture of a hummingbird & flowers painted on one of the skillets many
years ago. It hangs by my front door.

I still use an iron skillet that my husband and I bought (1940). Turns out a tasty corn pone!
Susan 8/05 9:14am
I got some cast iron skillets when I got married in 1973 along with some
other pots and pans. I used the cast iron to cook in almost everyday
till I retired from the kitchen a few years ago. I do bring them out
every now and then to wipe off any rust that might appear. I also make
sure they are well seasoned just in case they are called into action
again...

Thanks for all the intereting replies you gals and guys, I enjoyed reading them..
Funny, how a chance remark can trigger all those feelings..eh ??
"We try the new, wth SOME success, But find the OLD, to be the best.."
I'll bet this starts a "rush" on the thrift stores for "old pots"..Haha.
