Those interested in seeing what others have to say about caring for
cast iron cooking equipment might want to look at this file:

iron-pot-care-msg (23K)  8/ 7/96    Seasoning and caring for iron pots and 
                                       skillets.

Info on when iron cooking implements came into use and other comments on
historic and SCA cooking utensils can also be found in this file:

utensils-msg      (68K)  9/ 9/96    Utensils, plates, trenchers, cast iron
pots.

Both of these files can be found in the FOOD section of my SCA Rialto Files
