ID this pan , maybe
I have had this for about 20-25 years. Supposedly belonged to my great grandmother.
It also has a 7 on the top of the handle. I have been looking trying to identify it.
I mostly just cook and scrub and cook and scrub. Every once and awhile I pretty it up.

I want to know if I'm being dumb.
I live in the UK, and with how expensive gas for cooking has become, I don't want to run the oven just for seasoning. Therefore I have been leaving the pan at the bottom, through normal use.
Is this a bad idea?

What did my wife do wrong here? She had too much oil to begin with but I have no idea what happened.

Help
I’ve had this Cabela’s cast-iron skillet for about seven years. All of a sudden my paper towels are coming back black like this. Should I try to strip the seasoning off and redo it? Why would the seasoning be coming up all of the sudden?

So, this is polymerized oil. Cannot be washed or scraped off. Your seasoning is very tough, don't worry.

Hello, need help finding an affordable non-toxic cast iron Dutch oven please.
What's a good nontoxic alternative cheap brand for a Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven or regular fast iron? I was originally going to get a "lodge cast iron" brand enameled cast iron Dutch oven as a birthday present in 2 weeks. But I think it's like $80 which is a little too expensive for my friends to spend on a birthday gift for me, atleast I think so. Is there anything a little cheaper than that. That is non-toxic and real cast iron. I've always wanted a cast iron Dutch oven. Thank you

My First Castiron, Need Help Cleaning
I cleaned it several times with soap and scrubbed it thoroughly but it still leaves black residue when I wipe it!
I let it soak in water/vinegar overnight, then scrubbed again, but that didn't work! I just can't seem to get it fully clean.
Any help will be appreciated, TIA
