Overheard a woman at Goodwill talking about her $3 cast iron skillet find

I was at the Goodwill on Main Street last Saturday, just flipping through some old records, when I heard this older lady tell her friend she got a vintage cast iron skillet for three bucks. She said it took her 45 minutes with steel wool and salt to get it clean, but now it cooks better than any new pan she ever owned. Made me think about how much we overlook the stuff sitting on those shelves. I grabbed a dusty bread maker for $5 myself, cleaned it up, and it works perfect. Anyone else find a kitchen tool that just needed a little elbow grease?

Honestly @skylerrobinson you gotta look past the grime sometimes. I found a dented old Dutch oven at a garage sale for $2, spent a whole afternoon scrubbing it, now I use it almost every week.

Used to think old cookware was junk, but that's pretty convincing.
