This rare vintage Griswold #3 Unmarked Series Cast Iron Skillet (P/N 668) with three hole handle has been thoroughly cleaned and seasoned with organic coconut oil. On the bottom of the skillet starting at the top appears the size number “3”. Across the bottom is the pattern number "668" in artistic script. The skillet sits flat on a granite counter top with slight movement corrected by one playing card.
It has a very good cooking surface with very some minor utensil m...arking (see pictures). The skillet measures 7 1/8" across from spout to spout, 10 1/4" long including the handle, and about 1 1/2" deep. This rare skillet would be a great addition to any collection. Email me if you need any further information.
Cleaning and Seasoning process: The cleaning process begins with time in a lye bath. After several days of soaking, the skillet is scrubbed with steel wool using Bar Keepers Friend. If need be, it’s put back in the lye bath for another round. After all the rust and build up is removed, it’s soaked in a white vinegar bath for an hour or so, lightly scrubbed with steel wool, and given a thin coat of olive oil. To season the skillet, it’s put in the oven at 200° for 15 minutes. After it’s been heated, it’s coated with a liberal amount of organic coconut oil and wiped down to remove any excess oil. The skillet is put back in the oven at 300° upside down for 15 minutes; then wiped down again to remove any excess oil. It’s then put back in the oven – this time at 425°- for about 30 to 45 minutes. Once the skillet cools down, a final thin coat of coconut oil is applied to protect the surface.
Just a reminder, cast iron skillets are not designed for the newer glass/ceramic cooking surfaces. Also, since cast iron can be damaged if dropped or mishandled, I safely pack each piece for shipping.
