Just imagine all those wonderful meals they made filled with love - and now you have all that!!! And everything will taste better in them than in new ones - believe me. There is more to the "seasoning" of a cast iron pan - they are also seasoned with love and you can't tell me they aren't!
I know. I remember my grandmother cooking in for years and then Mom. My brother had them after Mom died and I went to his house one day and he had set them DIRTY no less on his porch and it had rained on them! It took me weeks cleaning and seasoning to get them back right. I didnt even ask him I just took them. I got him a very cheap set of coated skillets and gave them to him later to replace the ones I had taken to get him to hush.
