Wow, that's almost enough pans to meet the needs of 4 bushcrafters at breakfast!

Nice collection of pans, and it looks like they get used rather than just be wall decorations.

 

[santaman2000]

Yep. I wish they were all mine. That said, I do have a fair collection myself. Just not the older ones like those appear to be.

 

[Harvestman]

That is wonderful.

Nice pans but let down a little, I feel, by the dodgy 70's style electric hob! Lol. They need an Arga or similar to really set them off

Hark at me.....Bam the House Doctor! Lol

Is it me being a total geek but I'm admiring the nails they are hung on? They look like old horseshoe nails to me - and maybe even hand made.

Too thick to be horseshoe nails, they look more like the old style brad nails

Great to see some cast iron in a kitchen for a change!

Nah, I agree.

It would take that hob half an hour to get those pans up to frying temperature.

I have (and prefer) gas myself. That said, the electric ones heat up much quicker than you might think (it might be a difference in the ones sold here vs there) The only burner in sight in that photo is the small back one, the front ones are about twice that size and they all heat up very quickly (not especially energy friendly when the electric bill comes though)

Their real problem with the electric stoves isn't how hot they get or how quickly they heat up, it's how poorly said heat can be controlled and how slowly they cool down.

That; and just because I like gas. It doesn't go out for extended periods (or at all for that matter) after a hurricane.
