koland I have my grandmother's skillets also. She had them from the smallest all the way up to the large dutch oven. She kept them in a special cabinet. They always seemed so oily growing up. Now they may be oily but they are used more than other pot/pan I own. Even the flat biscuit skillets are used. I would be lost without my iron skillets.
But we also have 4 cast iron kettles. These were once used to make lard. Now they just look pretty with all the flowers.
