I ruined my moms Cast Iron Skillet. This was her favorite pan ever, and it burned up. I want to get her a new one for mother's Day, but I have no idea how much they are supposed to cost, or where to find a real one that will last forever! Any Ideas???

Do a search for lodge cast iron skillets. They have them for sale online and lodge is a great brand of cast iron. They carry skillets, dutch ovens, and a whole lot more. I believe they ship at a reasonable cost also.

Try garage sales. That is where I found my big one. There is usually someone who is clearing out their house. The next place would be at Walmart or a Hardware store, especially one that deals with camping. People love a cast iron skillet for camping because you can clean it with sand.

The best place is a store that sells kitchen and bathroom stuff, but not the big electronic equipment like stoves, washers, dryers, and dish washers. They will sell small conventional ovens, and mixmasters, blenders, anything that can be put in a cart and wheel out to your van. This is whhere do you normally get your pots and pans other then at Walmart or K-Mart, the ones that usually you find on a wedding register. Here in Canada, the place where you get the best Kitchen stuff is at Home Outfitters. That is because these stores deal in kitchen and bathroom stuff alone and do not do anything else so they will buy those specials that only a few are interested in.

Wal-Mart is no good, they had some, but the top one was broken. A 'cast iron skillet' that was sliced basically in half! I cant imagine that was a real iron skillet. But maybe I will try the bass pro shop!

Tell me how you ruined it? I'm not sure how you could have burned it up. Mine made it through a house fire. We were able to scrub it down and reseason it and I'm still using it! You can get them at camping stores, second hand stores will often have them, walmart carries them, as well as many hardware stores.
