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?

Tell you a trick I learned really helps make one close to non stick, its easy, sand the face as fine as possible, 600grit is good, season, then break it in.
The one I bought 2 years ago was all pebbly textured on the inside. I spent 2 hours with the random orbital sander and grits up to 600 to get it where it needed to be.
I bought a square one (for bacon, I was thinking) and did the same with it. Now it is a gem, and unless I manage to ruin it somehow, it'll be passed down multiple generations. I also have a Griswold that I use all the time that is right at 100 years old.
I have all three sizes above thanks to the local students throwing away their ironmongery at the ends of various semesters.

Hard to resist cast iron.
