well hello folks it's Mike here I just
want to welcome you back to Mr cast iron
and today I'm very excited to share with
you my new cast iron skillet uh wait a
minute wait a minute this is not a new
cast iron skillet but it's new to me and
I'm really excited about this because
this is one that I've been looking for
for a long time and I just happened to
acquire it this week and so what this is
this is
actually uh a Martin Stove and
Range Skillet it's got the hamburger
logo here of course it's hard to see
with all the carbon buildup you know
that's on the skillet itself and on the
edges on the bottom and on the edges the
uh inside is in very good shape this is
2 in deep it measures about 9 and 3/4 in
across uh it's got two por spouts and
everything and it's a number seven
there's a number seven on this Skillet I
don't know that you can see that or if
the camera will pick that up because
there is so much carbon buil up here but
anyway we're going to get this thing
cleaned up stripped down and reasoned
but I'm very excited about this like I
said this is one that I've been looking
for for a long time and I've actually
acquired it and looking forward to
getting it cleaned up reasoned and
cooking me a good old fatty riy steak in
it these uh these Skillets like I said
was made from Martin Stove and Range out
of Florence Alabama and that's what the
hamburger logo here says I don't know if
the camera will pick that up or not but
anyway across the top of the hamburger
bun it says Martin and in the middle it
says Stove and Range and on the bottom
it says Florence Alabama and uh of
course they long since gone out of
business they started back in I believe
it was like 1917 when they began uh
creating and making cast iron skillets
of course back in those days most of
your
manufacturers uh machined all their
Skillets like this real smooth they
don't have a rough texture and so I'm
I'm really looking forward to getting
this cleaned up it's got very little
rust to it and you know a lot of that
has uh you know we can say that this uh
carbon buildup has actually protected it
from rust and uh so that's a great thing
but anyway we're going to get it cleaned
up and we'll show you what it looks like
with a before and after picture and
we're excited about it so if you guys
have any comments or questions be sure
and leaving them down below and be
watching for us because we're going to
getting this cleaned up and we'll show
you what a before and after picture
looks like and maybe even cook a fatty
ribeye in it and show you that too so
you guys have a great day we'll be
talking to you again soon Mike over here
at Mr cast iron we'll see you later
bye-bye
