For those not lucky enough to have Griswold pans (I have one–my Mom gave it to me to use when I got my own college apartment and it still has the seasoning she put on it in the 1940’s and that I’ve added to), I’ve discovered the new "pre-seasoned" Lodge pans work extremely well. Don’t be afraid to add to your collection of cast iron this way: http://www.lodgemfg.com/introLogic.asp?menu=logic . I don’t think you’ll regret it.

I got a Hugh Jass gift certificate to Amazon.com this Xmas from the in-laws and used part of it on Lodge cast iron pans–grill pan, dutch oven, skillet and little sandwich pan–after hearing so many people rave about them. I have to say I’m pretty pleased with them.

And you can cancel the gym membership because if you use the cast iron regularly, it constitutes an aerobic workout (and gives you championship biceps).
