Griswold Cast-Iron Skillet CHROME

[SteelCity]

In a thrifty store I found a Griswold #7 Cast-Iron Skillet that has the extra finish chrome on it. I swear $1.25 yes One dollar and twenty five cents! Was in decent shape and after cleaning it up with just hot water and wire brush I seasoned it first with Canola Oil, then Crisco, then bacon fat and butter. First thing I cooked was scrambled eggs that easily could of been a great omelet (No sticking and sliding around whole when tilting pot). I've dated this between 1930 - 1941 reviewing catalogues. Does anyone out there have one of these chrome skillets and how do you like 'em? My go to skillet is a Griswold #9 slant ala 1912 that twice a week now is cooking boneless skinless chicken breasts marinated in canola oil and kosher salt for 24 hours. When cooking I add Sweet Baby Ray's BB Sauce after flipping over chicken for the last 7 minutes. Simple but divine.

That would appear to be a good deal.

I have a #4 Griswold with a chrome exterior and a plain iron interior.

Works well but no better than a regular old CI skillet.

Greg, mine is the opposite. The exterior is plain iron and the interior is chrome including the handle. I think I've found my go to egg skillet in this one-no sticking at all. Tried a burger in it and just not the same as my other skillet.

A buck twenty five? Too rich for my blood.

You stole that skillet. Great find.

Any chance of pictures? I've never seen nor heard of a CI skillet with chrome, but until last year I was cooking with a Paula Deen set of pans...

I would not trust a skillet with a chrome interior. Extrerior is fine though.
