(No, this has nothing to do with political arguments.) Join us on Cast Iron Wednesday for a live chat, and cast iron Q&A session. The general subject this week is: LIDS. We take the lids on our pots and pans for granted, and there are quite a few things to talk about when it comes to lids on cast iron pans. Everyone is encouraged to ask questions and answer questions! Topics we can discuss include...
- Older gate-marked lids
- Which lid will fit this old skillet or pot?
- Why did Wagner and other companies stop making lids?
- What are those spikes on the underside of this lid?
- How do I clean this &%#*#! lid with those spikes underneath?
- Details about lids from older cast iron manufacturers, including identifying unmarked lids

I am learning so much,i allways loved cast iron an now i am able to start collecting and enjoy cooking with them!

@lisanowakow3688 3 года назад

Great presentation! You blew the lid off of eBay quite gracefully. Thank you!

@mikem9006 2 года назад

This past weekend I got a lid identical to the first one you showed, with a three leg, gate mark cauldron at an antique store for $18.00. You have been very inspirational for me. Thank you very much!!!

@mikem9006 2 года назад

The lid fit perfectly on the cauldron so I thought it was for it. 😀

My Dad's mother came over from Ireland with a Nuydea Fryer and Lid which my Mom still uses.

You should have accepted the Field skillet, reviewed it then done a giveaway with your viewers!

@smobertoday 3 года назад

Many skillet lids went to WWII scrap drives to go to ship building,etc.. You could cook in a skillet without a lid but not in a lid without a skillet!

@reddog5153 3 года назад

Lol I bought the exact same Skillets you did and I've got that lid on order

Bought cast iron from catolge store, 8 price set with lids. May I boil with them or cook with them on a grill

@moderntentcamping 3 года назад

Great topic. Frequently hard to find lids that fit my pans and ovens. A good Lid frequently adds $50 or more to the price.

It's funny that I didn't know that your video was 2 years old. But I still enjoyed it, I was wondering about a star that is inside one of my lids, who might have made it. And I have a 8CF that has a frying pan lid with a long handle . Thanks for the info 👍 😀 Hello from the high desert of MOJAVE in Phelan California

@castironchaos 11 месяцев назад

More like 10 years ago. Time certainly flies. The 8 CF pan is likely a Lodge chicken fryer, based on the CF mark. As for the other, I may have to ask if you could supply a photo.

@lenny9926 11 месяцев назад

Sorry, I don't know how .l do not have Facebook. Both pan's have the same handles

@drd8251 3 года назад

Ahh, lids.... I got into cast iron cooking about a year ago and bought Fields skillets in #8, 10 and 12. Fields recently (like a couple days ago... now they're gone) offered lids to their #8. I scored one. I was hoping for a lid to a #12. I have an Analon 12" skillet with lid that has been my kitchen workhorse for years, and it has held up marvelously. And cleans up like a breeze. But I'd love to use my Fields #12 instead, if it had a lid. I don't understand why modern cast iron manufacturers don't offer lids with their skillets. Do you?

@moderntentcamping 3 года назад

I couldn’t find a lid for an old bottom gate marked 11 inch spider so I bought a 12 inch round bailed griddle and it fits perfectly. But I’ve never tried to bake with it. Have you ever used a griddle as a lid?

@brianmcpeek651 Год назад

Do you know how to identify unmarked camp ovens? I enjoy your channel and your wealth of information you share.

@welder878 Год назад

My grandma had a cast iron square pan that had a lid but I never could find it anywhere, I asked my grandpa about it and he said when they lived in northern Wisconsin he had a friend of his who worked with casting make one for grandma and a few more for some other friends. My question is did square pans ever come with a lid?

@husafel 5 месяцев назад

I read that some really old Dutch ovens had no markings on them at all.

@castironchaos 5 месяцев назад

The really old ones are practically guaranteed to at least have a gate mark. The new Asian made dutch ovens often have no markings at all on the top and bottom.

Hey hope you staying safe I found a #13 b camp pot and lid in woods was in rough shape but solid I took it home

@castironchaos 2 года назад

13 is an unusual size. If you can provide a photo of the bottom where the number is, we may be able to help you identify it.

@Rev.nighthawk..pjred1984 2 года назад

@@castironchaos all that's stamped on bottom is 13 b h and a cast line that looks like was filed down flat handle is flat the lid is just like the 13 skillet bar you have in vidieo

@serenityclark4583 3 года назад

I cook with cast iron exclusively and have always taken very good care of them. Last week I came across two old cast iron pans in the oven of my grandmother's guest house. My best guess is that they've been sitting there for a minimum of ten years. The lids are stuck on both pans and I cannot see an easy way to get them off. I thought I'd ask for advice before I try to pry them apart with a tool. There is very little rust on the pans, they're in Arizona which is a low humidity area so hopefully that's not the problem. I'd appreciate any help you can give me to separate these pans from their lids. Thanks!

@castironchaos 3 года назад

I've heard you can soak the bottom part in ice water, and that will contract it enough to loosen the top.

@snappingturtle1621 3 года назад

Penetration oil just at where they join let soak. Nice whack with a dead blow plastic hammer will often separate them with little to no damage.

What kind of lid has 3 rings on inside

@timrose6152 3 года назад

I know of a bsr chicken fryer, red mountain, with lid. They are asking 65$, but it spins and wobbles. Is it worth getting it ? Thanks

@castironchaos 3 года назад

These days that might be an acceptable price for a chicken fryer with lid in good condition. Quite a few BS&R pans were spinners; but if you think the warping is too bad, you can pass it by. A little bit of spinning shouldn't be a problem. My BS&R #10 is also a spinner.

@goodolboy5228 Год назад

I have a lid without letters or numbers. It does have two lines running verticle and two horizontal across the top. Any idea who made it?

@castironchaos Год назад

I've seen photos of that lid on the cast iron Facebook groups, and it's generally considered to be an unknown.

@TamaraGrace 3 года назад

Would you sell your 13 inch lid? I have a pan I could use that on....

@castironchaos 3 года назад

Actually, I'm keeping the lid and using it. First, it's a near-perfect fit on a Solidteknics 30 cm "BigSkillet", and I'm holding on to it for the possibility that, some day, I may find a BS&R 13 IN camp oven or spider.

@TamaraGrace 3 года назад

Ok, I completely understand. I thought I'd try. 😉 Have a good one.
