Re: Cooking with cast iron
We had a similar good score from my father who was in Pantzer corp.
He managed to bring home one of the Ratel's armour plates.
He soldered on handles and around the edges soldered on a steel rod, also for the oil. It is fantastic. It does not slow down when you put a steak on.

Re: Cooking with cast iron
**************
Hi meteor, soldered or brazed? I am sure you mean brazed, solder would not handle the temps with out melting.
I too have cooked on some military metal, from what, I do not know, but a lot of the hunting farms have some old boys from "the days" and all I can say is seems there was a lot of stuff "thrown out" which was re-utilized on farms.
Many a 10/12 mm sheet cut to size making wonderful cooking range.

Re: Cooking with cast iron
I literally have a couple of tons of 12mm Mildsteel sheet laying in our profiling shop, but I want cast Iron, I wonder what the biggest diameter Cast Iron bar available would be, then I wonder if the supplier will cut me a piece +- 50 mm thick

Re: Cooking with cast iron
How does cast iron compare to say the stainless steel cookware like AMC?

Re: Cooking with cast iron
We have several cast iron pots and my favourite is a flat one that is enamel coated on the inside & outside to give it a smooth finish. Had it for years, I don't recall it being particularly expensive. Works very well and is easy to clean. Make is Best Duty & it's a no 12. Pot & coating both black.
My wife is a big fan of Le Creuset, which are essentially cast iron (or something similar) coated with a smooth colourful enamel. Google them. They're expensive but I have to admit they work well and are easy to clean.
