Over the past ten years I have collected a fair amount of cast iron. Today’s acquisition is spectacular, however!
The cauldron arrived unseasonably and was the silver grey color of bare metal. I seasoned it with three coats of olive oil, then messed about with a lid too small and one too big from my Lodge collection. Then I remembered I had a 9 inch lid on my small wok! What a beauty! It seems like a wonderful time to get the tripod over a fire and get a nice soup going!
