Title: I Scored A Skillet
Post by Derek on Oct 9^th, 2024 at 12:10pm

The caretaker here at Glenreagh popped over to see how things were going. When he saw that we were into cast iron cooking he asked me if I wanted a skillet.

Someone had left it behind and said they no longer wanted it. Caretaker is on the move soon in a new caravan so he didn’t want it either so now mine.

Turned out to be a vintage French Culinaire skillet. 10 1/2 inches across the top and 9 inches across the bottom

In perfect condition and very well seasoned.

I’m a very happy chappy.

Thought I would give the new skillet a run tonight with some fish on the little gas burner outside. I try not to cook fish indoors.

Dusted in flour and just lightly fried in some olive oil.

Turned out well. It is well seasoned so non stick

Cooked a few lamb chops on the skillet.
