And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

His heart was in the right place. I'm sure she hit him over the head with that skillet once this abomination was discovered.
Like one day when my sister came over and decided to drop my 25 year old pizza stone in a sink full of soapy water... Needless to say, I was not pleased! Turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as I went to a pizza steel after that. Haven't looked back.
it can be reclaimed but it takes some time. if its a Lodge i would just toss it and start over with a Griswold or a Wagner if you can find em. i find them at garage sales. its worth the time and effort to clean and re-season that old stuff. i recently found a 80 yo sears and roebuck 24" skillet at a neighbors house just laying in his backyard. he gave it to me. it cleaned up really well, its a keeper. cowboy Ken Rollins on youtube has some great video's on care and cleaning, and use of cast iron cooking.
It was my girlfriend who thought my three very nicely seasoned skillets looked dirty so she ran them through the dishwasher for me. She wasn't much of a cook. She made steak one night that I could have serious redone my shoe soles with. With a smile (because she tried so hard) and lots of beer I managed to put one down.
My mother-in-law (Who has hated me for all 35 years I've been married to her daughter) once took my cast-iron skillet and waited until I wasn't home for 2 weeks, then put it outside someplace I'd have to look to find it. When I finally DID find it, some 6 months later it was a pile of rusted and pitted metal. I have no idea what she put in it, but she put something. I've never forgiven her for that (and for many other things. The song "Mother-In-Law" by Ernie K. Doe was written with her in mind, I think.
A year or two after we married, my wife sold all of my cast iron in a garage sale when I was at work. Skillets, griddle, and a Dutch oven, 12 pieces, all gone for pennies on the dollar.
When did this don't wash cast iron become an addition to the Ten Commandments? Re-season it and get on down the road, also I think that the years of using steel spatulas and tough abrasives to clean the pans has more to do with the non stick properties. As far as some making a mistake doing something, the bonus points for trying out weigh the penalty points.
I certainly hope she hit him with that, and he needs to turn in his man card, for not knowing what he did.
ReplyDeleteMy wife knows not to touch my knives or my cast iron.
ReplyDeleteGuess who's not getting any tonight. And maybe the next week or so.
ReplyDeleteThat old Lodge could use a little work, but not in there.

ReplyDeleteIt's not just men who put cast iron in the dishwasher, women do it as well because they were not taught not to.

Say what? It's clean now! Fire up the oven and season it.
DeleteAgreed, just season it and the lodge will be good to go
DeleteThird that.
DeleteThat's one bonehead move in life you can fix.

ReplyDeleteGood man!

ReplyDeleteDid they ever find the body?
Deletewont hurt a thing! you show your ignorance again
ReplyDeleteIt's not the end of the world.
ReplyDeleteHe may find another cook. Ha!
That homicide is justifiable. All my iron has been in the family for 80+ years, all well-seasoned.
