I had been perusing second hand stores for cold handle frying pans for a few years with no luck. I did get a set of three off eBay so I’m not panless, but I kept looking.

I recently found this set at my local flea market. I cleaned up the little one and have been using it at home for a couple months now. This set cost 10 bucks and it took about an hour to clean up the one with a wire wheel to remove the rust. Then I boiled it a couple times to remove any oil soaked in.

If you come across one that appears to be beyond repair don’t be afraid to take a chance that it will clean up nicely. It probably will. 45AC4757-935F-4071-9DC9-13375CDB07A0.jpeg
 
Junk stores should be required to post whether they have any cold handle frying pans in stock, preferably with the quantity in foot-high numbers like gas stations. I often go by them and think gee, if there was a 10% chance that place would have a cold handle frying pan amid all the knickknacks and schlock I'd totally go in, but I never do. That's probably why I'm panless.
 
I need to scare up one or two. I’ve got most all the cast iron I need although I’d like a no. 10 round griddle and maybe a muffin pan…

Aren't they prone to warping or does it matter with an uneven grill or 3 stone firepit ?
 
Okay, there it is, hidden, hiding in plain sight right in the middle of the photograph. That t-shirt is hard not to miss though.
