Mom moved in with Sister, whose kitchen is too small for both sets of cookware. We got Mom's cast iron, and Sister took the Corningware. All of the CI need re-seasoning, as she's not cooked for three years.
The oven needs cleaning, so we'll just put the CI into the oven, clean, and then start the re-seasoning process. I prefer bacon fat, lard or Crisco for seasoning -- they all work just fine for me. And as old and well used as these pieces are, I've no doubt they'll re-season just fine.
Now where to store them -- that's the issue. Our kitchen isn't much bigger than Sister's, but dang if I'll ever give up cast iron...
