Does anyone have #advice about cast iron #cookware they can share? I've acquired these pans that have been in storage for a while. They have no branding on them. I've read there can be different quality of cast iron and the poorer quality ones can be a bother (flaking etc).
1. How can I tell if these are decent quality?
2. How should I clean them? (remove rust)
3. How can I make sure they are properly seasoned?
4. How should I maintain them, if I decide to keep?

What I am finding works better is to set the pan on medium heat, then add the beaten egg. I will then drop the heat level to low to finish cooking. This has been more successful at getting a uniform, pliable cooked egg layer to fold over to make the omelette, though I have not yet been able to get that slight degree of browning on the outside that I like to see in an omelette. Perhaps the efficiency of the ceramic nonstick coating prevents the browning. In any case, it has been a learning experience for someone who has been cooking omelettes for quite a few decades now.
I believe I shall enjoy these pans once I get comfortable with how I need to use them. They appear quite sturdy, and while they are a bit heavy, my hope is that they will last as long as the Calphalon pans did. The Caraway pans are rather pricey, but if they last 15 years, the per-year cost is quite small.
Those are my observations of the Caraway fry pans after a month and a half of use.
And if butter or egg or anything else drips over the side of the Caraway cookware, if the outside is too hot, it will burn and discolour the painted outside surface of the pan, which does not have the nonstick ceramic coating.
The photo below shows where I have done just that.

With my Calphalon pan, I had the burner on high when making an omelette so that the beaten egg would quickly form a solid layer in contact with the pan, then I reduced the heat to medium, which enabled me to raise the edges of the omelette, allowing the still-liquid uncooked egg to travel underneath the cooked egg, slowly building up the thickness of the layer of egg.
I quickly discovered that will not work using the Caraway pan. The pan is too hot, so the beaten egg overcooks, and the too-thick cooked layer falls apart when trying to raise the edges.

I thought I would share my experiences using my new Caraway fry pans, which I received as a holiday gift. The small pan is 8 in/20 cm in diameter, and the larger pan is 10.5 in/27 cm in diameter. The small pan is pictured below.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that 8" and 10" #cookware would be better if they were 7" and 9". I have two 7" skillets, vintage Commercial Aluminum Cookware (the company which later renamed itself "Calphalon") 1307 omelet pans, and they are much better for #CookingForOne than the 8" pans in my #kitchen.
I don't have a partner, family, or children, and I'm unlikely to ever have them again. This #neoliberalism world is not made for #singles, even though it is designed to divide and conquer us.
"..some imported cookware products made from aluminum, brass, and aluminum alloys known as Hindalium/Hindolium or Indalium/Indolium demonstrated the potential to leach lead when tested under conditions designed to mimic their use in contact with food, according to information provided to the FDA by the Public Health Department of Seattle and King County (PHSKC) in Washington State."

@VeroniqueB99 I have made all of the suggested changes. I find I have difficulty keeping food from sticking to my good quality stainless steel frying pans, no matter what technique I use. I have well seasoned cast iron skillets that work well for most foods.
I have seen titanium pans advertised as non-stick, and am considering buying one. They can be a bit pricey. Wondering if anyone here has tried titanium?

Nov 7-24 Th-Sun Meyer Outlet Sale in Fairfield & Vallejo has Free Cookware & Bakeware Recycling. #SFBA #SolanoCounty #Recycle #Cookware #Bakeware
I didn’t see the recycling there, but it is in the press release. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-28th-annual-meyer-cookware-outlet-sale-begins-on-november-7th-302288849.html
Oh that “new” glow! Mama got a new set of pans. 13 piece set of granite ware/ceramic ware is heavy bottom aluminum, Sensarte brand. Yes, Amazon Prime Days got me. I’ve had 4 other skillets from this brand that are sturdier than any others and non-stick but not Teflon. $69 is too good a price to pass up. Woke at 4:15 am and got going on housework since I can’t sleep from back pain. But hey, may as well enjoy seeing new shine and make my aromatic percolator coffee.

#Fediverse outdoor people, I have a challenge. Find me a double-walled mug with a lid that comes in under 90g (3.17oz).
I currently have the classic MSR double walled mug and that is 100g. So I need to beat that weight by 10g, but still have the insulation properties.
gas canister backpacking #stove and #cookware. I have survived for months by cooking inside the bed of my truck with a cap over it;
portable tabletop gas #grill for the occasions when you can get away with cooking outside;
hanging rod for clothing that needs to stay relatively unwrinkled (you aren't planning on being #homeless forever, right? gotta keep the work wardrobe in good shape);
closed-back headphones for music/tv/movies, so no one can hear you outside. …
I acquired a totally beat up and rusty cast iron pan, what would people recommend to use to scrub it clean before re-seasoning?
LT Looking for #cooking #cookware advice.
I need a pan or skillet or something where I can start cooking on an electric (regular, not induction) glass top stove and finish in the oven, and maybe broil. I don't need super fancy, but I'm ok spending a few bucks. I thought about cast iron, but I've read about how some pans might scratch glass tops. What ya got for me?
Please retoot if you're so inclined. Thanks!
Tidy gardens‽ They really exist‽ I didn't dream them‽
I uncovered a frying pan full of soil today, in contrast. It could have been non-stick. I didn't really bother checking.
Should I also mention the slug saucepan?
Either I learned a new culinary term - but don’t know what it means in a cooking-type context - or they forgot a “d”.
