I'm still using some my mother's Lodge frypans I got when I set up
housekeeping. And I'm not your spring chicken anymore. Use & maintain it right
& it lasts forever and ever. OTH, my husband was concerned with some cast iron I
bought at a garage sale. He thought that perhaps "foreign" cast iron might have
impurities that would leach out to the food. Anybody comment on that one?
