A community for cast iron cookware. Recipes, care, restoration, identification, etc.

Rules: Be helpful when you can, be respectful always, and keep cooking bacon.

More rules may come as the community grows, but for now, I'll remove spam or anything obviously mean-spirited, and leave it at that.

Oh yeah. Bullets, fishing lures, etc. It's pretty common to have one dedicated to lead out here in the rural parts of the US.

Can confirm. Though, I picked up a cheap steel pot from goodwill for this purpose ... cast iron was too expensive for my lead melting needs ; )

Cast iron is fairly ubiquitous in Appalachia. 🙂
