Okay I got grandma's old cast iron but she failed to tell me don't put in in the dishwasher.  Needless to say her old pan was never the same no matter how I tried to reseason the thing.  I was sick because it was a great old skillet.  So watching Ametica's Test Kitchen they were reviewing pre seasoned cast iron and strongly suggested the skillets from Lodge.  So I went to Amazon and bought a skillet and lid.  While not exactly like grandma's it was the closes I could ever remember.  Once again I could make crispy homefries.  Once again I could use the metal spatula and not worry about scratching...
