My mother is moving to a much smaller house, and is trying to heavily downsize her "stuff" in the process, so I just brought back her cast iron which was my grandmother's cast iron before that. It's almost all WagnerWare with one Griswold and one or two pieces that have no name. All of the pieces are much, MUCH smoother inside and out than the 3 piece set of Benjamin cast iron that I bought about 15 years ago. This stuff almost seems machined it's so smooth. I've got a deep pot with a lid and wire handle, like a Dutch Oven, but the lid doesn't have a lip for putting coals on top. I've also got what I think might be a chicken frier skillet, it's basically built like a skillet but about 5" deep, then I've got 7 or 8 skillets. The largest skillet is a #12 (14") with a lid, then I've got a no-name that's got (12 7/16") on the bottom, the rest are various sizes down to about 5-6". They are all wonderfully seasoned.

I'm so excited. My wife made some corn bread today. It didn't even think about sticking.
