IMPORTANT: This one must has some small pitted areas on the outside but a near perfect cook surface! See our blog article on pitting and why these perfectly good pieces are still great daily cookers for those on a budget. Get a GREAT collectors skillet at a great price because of this. Otherwise amazing!
Wagner Ware, made in Sidney Ohio, was known for their amazingly light and smooth cast iron cookware, and this #9 Sidney Block logo pan is a great example! Perfect for sides and saute‘s like asparagus and summer veggies. It has been stripped using a lye bath and electrolysis, and has been seasoned 3 times with beef tallow. Don‘t miss out on this rarity, it sits flat and does not spin! Rare for a Wagner!
