Macaroni and Cheese in a 19th Century Cast Iron Skillet

Описание: How to make the best macaroni and cheese in the world: make it in a cast iron skillet. What we have here is a genuine American antique: it's a vintage "gate marked" 11-inch cast iron pan from the 19th century. The actual maker of this pan is unknown, because there were many cookware manufacturers in the 19th century who also made stoves and other housewares. This pan was most likely a "disposable" accessory: it was part of a set of cookware included with the purchase of a wood burning cooking stove. The stove is long gone and the other pieces are missing, but this pan is still here...or this pan may have been lost a hundred years ago, only to turn up at the Brimfield Antique Show. I purchased it in 2015, and it's been a part of my kitchen ever since. Tonight we're taking a closer look at this pan, talking about its history and what happened when I found it. And, of course, we're using this pan to make the world's greatest macaroni and cheese!
