Spent $60 on a cast iron skillet from a garage sale, best money I ever spent
Found a beat up old Lodge at a garage sale in Phoenix last month for $60, took an hour with steel wool and some elbow grease to strip the rust off. Anyone else have luck bringing old cast iron back to life?

Bet you could sell it for triple that to a hipster restaurateur.

Pulled a crusty old Wagner out of my grandma's barn last year, looked like it had been sitting in mud for a decade. Scrubbed it with vinegar and salt, then reseasoned it in the oven three times. Man, that thing is a beast now, cooks eggs without sticking and heats up so even. I swear old cast iron just has better seasoning once you put the work in. Makes you feel like you saved something from the trash too, which is a good feeling.
