Cast Iron: Real Restoration for Real People
After 20 years as a Boston firefighter, I discovered cast iron collecting. What I found? Everyone's treating bulletproof cookware like fine china.
This stops here.
Cast iron survived the Oregon Trail and built American kitchens, but modern collectors act like soap will destroy it. If it helped forge a nation, it can handle your kitchen.
My Mission: Find, restore, and cook with vintage cast iron using practical techniques that actually work. No precious handling, no overcomplicated rules.
