All my cast iron is old - Griswold or Wagner Ware. It is better than the stuff today. Do yourself a favor and get a nice old cast iron pan at an antique store or estate sale (or from me). They are more money but they work much better. You haven't had homefries until you've had them in cast iron. For storing, I store mine in flannel pillow cases in the bottom of my cupboards. Same for my dutch oven I use with the charcoal briquettes. If you find an old fry pan, an 8 or a 9 and it looks like you wouldn't feed the dog in in, buy it. Put it in your selfcleaning oven for 2 hours. Scrub with stainless steel pad, rinse. Then season it immediately by coating it lightly with coconut oil. Bake at 300 for one hour, let cool. Repeat the coating and baking three times. Then cook a nice pound of bacon in the pan. Never use soap on it. If something sticks, boil some hot water in the pan and use coarse salt to scrub with. Lots of information on youtube for cast iron, care and cooking.
