    Buy a different size skillet and DO! :)

    Seriously, I have 8 CI skillets, all different sizes. And I use them all. I also have 4 DOs, but only really use two of them. All were antique shop finds for dirt cheap and I can never pass up dirt cheap. I had a couple more, but gave them to my son. What I still need is a 7 qt or more Dutch oven. Don't need it often, but I REALLY want to do that pork butt with baked bean recipe and I don't have a big enough pot!

    Oh, and a griddle might be nice too.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Griddle.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    Get the CI pizza pan. Fits the large and you will use for a lot of things. Works like a griddle.

    I'd like to have a griddle seems like it would be versatile.  Could egg some breakfast on it or use it with the reverse sear.

    The 14" round griddle is probably the piece I use the most.  @Carolina Q  has it right - skillets of different sizes - especially the larger ones.  Drop biscuit pan, cornbread wedge pan...  

    I keep saying I dont need any more ci, but going to an outlet store for me may be costly.

    lodge has some CI bread pans.  They make awesome bread, and I have been using them for stuft peppers on the egg lately.  Very handy.

    That would be the oval cassarole I believe they still carry these. One thing to keep in mind, at the outlet, sometimes there are limited production items. If you see a piece you like, get it.

    We were passing the one in S. Pittsburg on our trip home (to St Louis) from Florida.  Needless to say, there was a quick detour and I had a new dutch oven.  Freaking magic.

    Yea the one in S Pittsburgh moved to a new location about a month ago.  Not good place to go with all the eggs and ci goodies inside !

    If you go to the one in S Pittsburg be sure to go to the back room. That's where the blemished stuff is. Great prices on them.

    Be careful of what you ask, you may need to purchas a piece of furniture to house the collection. My last purchase was four 8 inch cast iron plates. I use them when finishing of breakfast burritos.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    They have signs directing- on street behind old store and a couple blocks east. Big building- very nice, can't miss it.

    I'm with you.  I took over this cabinet and added shelves just for the small stuff - less than 10 1/2".  Then I have 2 pot drawers for the bigger stuff.  Love cast iron, but it does take up a lot of space.

    Beautiful.  I need to find a shelf like that to get all my cast iron in the kitchen.  It's all stored downstairs in the basement with the rest of my Eggin accessories.  Love it!

    YEMTrey   I can relate to having my CI all over the house, In my gas grill looking storage cabinet, in my office over the garage, in the basement, might even be some hid under the bed (maybe not), etc.

    That's beautiful ... and funny at the same time.  Looks like someone handed you a CI skillet and asked you to clean it up with your blasting equipment.  After you did it, the bug caught you and you're now trying to clean up the world one-CI-item-at-a-time.

    Hi @Jeepster47   Believe it or not, I have  not yet blasted any ci.  I finally picked up 3 estate sale pieces a couple weeks ago that need it, but they'll have to wait, since it's ridiculously hot here now.  The only blasting I'll be doing for the next three months is pool tile where I can stay nice and cool.  

    I am caught by the ci bug though, as you say.  I'm done buying new stuff, but I will buy what I see at estate sales.  My daughter loves estate sales, so I envision my collection growing.
