I just acquired a Vollrath #8 deep dryer with lid, in fantastic condition, just needing to be stripped and reseasoned. I see these going anywhere from $140 to $290 online.
I got it for $40!!!
I’ve recently dove headfirst into cast iron restoration and have been getting a lot of local customers, and I am excited to share update photos with all of you soon.
Do you sell them on after? Seems a lot of iron to have!
People actually contact me with their pans that are not in working order and I will strip and reseason for them for a price. I also get people asking me to be on the lookout for various kinds of pans along the way which I can sell them. Finally I just find old pieces online for cheap and flip them for a profit. It’s a great deal of fun!
Awesome find. I was really into it for a while but got extremely paranoid about lead being used in the pans.
I got a lead test kit off of Amazon, it was very highly rated
So the best method I found in my research is to use the same test twice. Once on the test subject, and then on something you know to contain lead. Well you wouldn’t believe what I found at the antique mall…
The test turns this deep purple color when it comes in contact with lead. So here were my findings
