So my parents had one when i was growing up. I wanted to get my own when i moved out but the stove i bought was a glass top and the manual said not to use cast iron on it, so i never did get one.
We are going on a 3.5 month road trip and i want a cast iron fry pan for our propane camp stove. I was gonna buy a $15 one from a local store but was puzzled about why the bottom was so rough. Bought one for $25 from another store but when i opened the box at home the handle was broken off, so i had to return it. I went to a garage sale yesterday and saw 2 cast iron frypans for $15 each but they were pretty dirty so i figured new would be better for the same price. However after reading here i have decided the old ones would be better as long as they arent warped. Is that correct?
My second question would be about the glasstop cookstove. I think i saw 3 people here mention they use cast iron on a glasstop. Im wondering is there anything specific about the pans you use or the way you heat the stove or anything to watch for? Or you just do it and its fine?
Any tips for using cast iron frypans on a camp stove?
It looks like i will give them the beeswax treatment when i get one.
Thanks!
