My Mom always made her pineapple upside down cakes in an 8 inch cast iron skillet. They were the best. Have the recipe, but mine never tasted as good as hers.

My MIL always fried her chicken in one and used a paper sack to put her flour, salt and pepper into. She would dip the chicken in egg and milk and put in the sack and shake, then dip back in the egg and milk and shake again. It made a delightful crust and when I learned to do that every time my Dad learned I was cooking chicken he would ask if he and Mom could come to dinner at our house. If any leftovers, it was great to eat the next day too.

I have an array of cast iron skillets and will pass them on to those of my children that want them. I think they are heirlooms and some things just taste so much better in them than my Farberware ever did.

Reminds me of the time when a friend of my husband's who liked to cook was over one day looking at our barbeque pit and noticed a rusted 10 cast iron skillet sitting in it. He came into the house and asked if he could have it. Was told yes and he took it home and lit a fire and put it in the fire and then later took it in the house and seasoned it and claimed it was better than any he had ever had. He could make the best fried seasoned soft shell crabs I have ever tasted. We were very lost when he passed on as he had been a life long friend since way before we married. My best friend dated him in high school and that is how I first started seeing my husband as a sophmore in school. We married and he moved on and married someone else...so did she. She is still my very best life long friend.
