Is Synthetic really worth it?

[the Ferret]

What does fog that engine mean?

That Lodge cast iron stuff is great , I have their double burner girdle, a skillet, and the Dutch oven... Ahh!
And like Rboe said in an another thread ,they gett better with time . Quoting his words:-
" I think of it like cast iron cook wear. New looks good, but a well seasoned pan has a certain rugged handsomeness to it that is appealing."

Is this board so civil that we can't get into a dino vs synthetic pissing match!? In that case, I say peanut oil is the only way to fry chicken. Anyone that says canola is the way to go is a tree-hugging, gun-toting, liberal, conservative hippy, redneck, moron!

I think mom used Crisco oil. Is that stuff even available today?
