Hi Bob, I had to comment on this video... I have three pans sort of like this - a 6", a 7" and a 12 inch. They are not tin but rather light weight high carbon steel. This is what I suspect yours is... My 12' skillit belonged to my great grand mother from the mid to late 1800s. My grand mother used it for cornbread - a hillbilly stapel. lol My 7" I have had since the early 60's. It is my goto camping skillet. My 6" I picked up at a yard sale a long time ago. Once seasoned they are pretty much non stick. I season mine by cooking bacon in them and then use the drippings. And like cast iron turns black ny high caarbon pans turn brown inside.. Because they are used on hardwood fires - DO NOT USED PINE - they are black on the bottom but not sticky. They are light weight and travel well in a pack. I have heard of tim frying pans but I was never allowed to use one. Granny said tin makes the food taste funny and will rust thru on you. I have heard that you can find these carbon steel pans on ebay but I do not know for sure. BTW my pans work fine on my electric stove here at home. They are great pans if you can find them - way better than the new stainless steel pans out there. QUESTION: What is that little gas stove you are using? I would love to get one like it. Later......... Blessings friend.........
It's a Coleman butane stove. I've seen them in the camping section at Walmart. About $20. They also sell the butane gas canisters for them. BTW, I have several high carbon steel pans, too. Including a couple of Cold Handle. Found mine at flea markets and such. Usually season them just like I season cast iron cookware. Have also seasoned them the same way that a carbon steel wok is seasoned. IMO, seasoning is best done outdoors using a gas grill. Keeps the smoke out of the house.
These stoves are found in most camping sections,a popular model these days. I saw them for 15 to 39$. The canisters are around 1 to 4$,and last you 2 a 3 days. Depending what you cook,hot drinks,eggs,dinner etc included. Always have one in the car when I'm out with the family. 3 persons use.
Hi Levi.. how can I tell.if mines carbon steel? I really want to know what the 40 means to. I know it's definitely not the size of the pan. Oh I try not to use pine or any soft with in my fires. Not to mention the mess it makes on the bottom of the cookware also I don't like the smell Pine smoke in my food.. Thanks for the heads up on the electric grill. I've decided to make a video on my small cook stove. Featuring the pros and cons. I think they'll be my next video since I'm not going out right now. We're having highs in the single digits and lows in the negative. Yep we're in the middle of a Arctic blast they say. Have an awesome day and I will talk to you later....
@@Bob808Knight Hi again.... I hope you are ready for our storm. :-) According to the radar you are getting it now. I should be here within a couple of hours. i have movies, a good book and hot choco... I am ready. lol Hummmm, regarding your pan. I am guessing it is carbon steel from its looks. I guess you could test it for hardness. The carbon steel will be way harder. Also if it is clean you can solder tin, but not carbon steel. If you try to weld tin it will just melt, but you can weld carbon steel. As for the "40" it is probably some sort of model number indicating size... just guessing there. BTW... it does not hurt your pan to let it get a brown patina on it (if it is carbon steel). I never boil water in mine. I just put it on the fire upside down for a bit to stearlize ii and burn out residue. I have scrubbed mine with soap and water and even steel wool after my grand daughter burned up dinner. lol You just have to reseason it. lol BasicallyI treat it almost like cast iron. A video on stoves is a good idea for the new guys to the woods. I currently have about a dozen differet stoves on my storage shelf. My favorite is my three fule hobo stove. Mostly it uses sticks/twigs but can accomendate a isbit cube or alochol burner. It is made from a 10oz coffee can. It will usually last a couple of years but it only take a few minuets to make a new one. I also have a nice alochol burner made from two potted meat cans - it is about 30 plus years old. lol BTW: I found your cool stove on Amazon for about $30. It can use the same fule I have for other little stoves. Like I said I have a dozen or more stoves. lol But I usually just use a trench fire of camp fire for cooking. later.......... and blessings friend......
Hi Levi. We the beginnings of the storm right now. Highs in the single digits and lows in the negative. I've had some frozen pipes but I caught them in time. They've also started rolling blackouts yesterday. Luckily it hasn't hit us yet. That's supposed to last until the end of the week. I would say I'm definitely prepared. I've got the good old heater buddies to keep us warm. And backup batteries for everything else. If it gets real bad I'll just fire up the generator. Thanks for the information about the frying pan. If we don't lose power I'll do the video today. And hopefully get it edited before they shut it off. I know what you mean about having too many stoves. One day I need to do a video on my collection. I'm with you though I rather cook over a trench fire. I think the smell of wood makes the food taste better.. Have a great day and I shall talk to you later
Thanks Karen. You will be seeing it future cooking with Bob episodes. On a different subject. When will you start making videos again. I sure do miss them.. talk to you later and have an awesome evening
I have 5 of these pans in 4 sizes. The best oil for seasoning these (or cast) is flax seed oil, 2nd would be walnut, both are "drying" oils, and polymerize more easily. While it is true that heating ferrous metals does make them expand, and make the pores open, the pores are so small that you can't see them without a microscope, too small for oil to enter. What you are seeing is pitting that was hidden by old seasoning, then water. What happens when you season a pan is that you cook the oil until it becomes a sort of organic plastic, and that is what makes them nonstick. Tin is a misnomer too. Tin cans, and tin pans are tin plated carbon steel, and I would bet there is no tin left inside that pan. They are a beauty to use. 1 of mine, my dad had since he was in Cub Scouts...
First off I have to say I'm very jealous you have 5 pants. I'm currently on the search to add more to my collection. informative comment And I have flaxseed oil... thanks for the information and have an awesome day..
Hi Karen. I think I know what cook kit you're talking about. Somewhere I have the same one. Honestly I can't remember ever having a problem with it. Have an awesome day and I shall talk to you later
@@Bob808Knight it is small it is lightweight and it serves its purpose..if you ever get bored you can always come to Arkansas I know where to take you camping there's no utilities. There is no gas electric water or sewer so you are fertilizing the forest LOL ha ha ha..there is a small trailer park nearby but I wouldn't want to be in it..
Excellent tutorial, my friend! I’ve got a little pan like this and love it even I don’t use it much. I’ve always followed your instructions on seasoning. This video reminds me I need to dig it out, clean a d season it again, and then put it to use!
Thanks brother. I've got to be honest I don't use this one much either. I really should. I'll tell you what I'll use it on my next cooking with Bob video. I'll talk to you later and have an awesome day
the writing on the handle "Before Using Scald Off Lacquer", good how to video so many people use non-stick pans and forget about seasoning, home use I like cast iron
Thanks Craig. I need to start keeping my glasses with when when I'm shooting a video just for these types of situations. LOL.. I agree people have forgotten the old ways. Personally I think a cast iron pan makes the meal taste better. Not to mention they're so easy to clean. Basically wipe and go. Have an awesome day and I shall talk to you later.
After talking to a couple of people I am going to pick it up some carbon steel pans. It's an awesome little stove. I also use mine to melt down the wax my egg drop fire starters. Because I'm not allowed to use the kitchen stove. There was an incident. LOL talk to you later and you have an awesome day
Great pan for adding to preps. We used to have a similar type of pan that we used on our wood burner back when we used to have one . Good instructional video Bob...Stay warm!!
Thanks Lee. We're trying to stay warm down here. Luckily it's going to warm up next week. I think I speak for the both of us come on spring. Have an awesome weekend and I shall talk to you later...
Thumbs up!!! Thanks for the demo. Just picked one up at a resale shop and didn't know these tips on cleaning. Lost track of your channel with the U-tube changes and the Covid mess. Good to see you again. Clark
Hi Clark it has been a while. At the beginning of the year UA-cam has made changes to their terms of service use. Let's put it this way if you read through it they are not good. Would you believe they deleted a friend of mine's Channel because he hasn't released a video in a year. He is so pissed. Don't even get me started on the virus mess. Anyway back to a happier subject. You're going to love the frying pan. Easy to clean and the heat up fast. Have an awesome evening and I shall talk to you later
Thanks Thack.. this has turned out to be a pretty decent pan. I have a feeling you'll see it in some future cooking with Bob episodes. Glad you enjoyed the video. Talk to you later and have an awesome weekend.
Great demo video Bob. I have set of Cold steel skillets. I love them. I only use my on med to low heat. Never high heat. It will ruin the steel skillet for sure. I love my little one. It's big enough for my needs.
Thanks Margaret. I have seen those skillets. I'm thinking about buying a couple. Yes I high heat will Warp them as one of my friends unfortunately found out. Thanks for all your comments. I enjoyed answering them. Talk to you later and happy Easter...
That's freaking awesome. You know if this Skillet could talk I bet it would have some pretty interesting stories to tell. On a different subject. How have you been brother? Are you getting hit by the same Arctic blast as we are? They say it's going to warm up next week. I'll believe it when I see it. LOL talk to you later and have an awesome evening
Hi Bob, I have 2 skillets I take camping. 1 is a small chef's skillet that was a throw away from the restaurant I work at, it's the same size as your pan. And the other is a lodge stamped carbon steel pan, both are a lot lighter than taking my cast iron pans along! The smaller of the two I use as a mini wok, yes restaurants are hard on pans and the heat warps them to the point of no return!
Hi Frank. Man I forgot all about the restaurant skillets, pots and pans.. they would make excellent outdoor cookware. You're right they do get abused. I like the idea of a mini Wok. This is something I need to check into. Thanks for the idea. Talk to you later and have an awesome evening
Thanks Robert. MRS makes an excellent frying pan. Knowing my luck though I'd still burned my hand on the handle. LOL I know what you mean about getting impatient to get out. We've been under a deep freeze on the past 2 weeks. I think I speak for the both of us come on spring. Talk to you later you have an awesome day
I have a similar pan but it's a lot newer (2-3 years old). Looks almost hand-made (maybe it is). Very thin carbon steel, a bit smaller than yours. Works great to fry up some ham and and eggs or a small steak over coals. I usually just heat up water then wipe it out with a paper towel to "clean," heat again to dry, wipe with thin coat of olive oil, heat a final time and put away. And "hope for the best," as Shug says.
Hi Hector. Man it would be so cool to have a handmade frying pan. I know what you mean when you say hope for the best. :-) talk to you later and have an awesome weekend...
Thanks Bob. Man it is freaking cold out. I'm sure you've seen the forecast for next week. It looks like it's going to be a little while before I get out again. Yep it's a little bit too cold for me and the cameras. Talk to you later and have an awesome day...
Thanks Jerry. I'm starting to see them pop up on eBay. Billy Joe got mine from a flea market. You might check there... have an awesome evening and I shall talk to you later
Thanks Steve. I find it interesting they're coming back into circulation... You know what they say you can't go wrong with old technology. If you're interested in a cowboy frying pan I have noticed they're starting to show up on eBay.... Now on a different subject. How's things going in your neck of the woods? Not so good here. Talk to you later and have an awesome evening..
Thanks Julius... no I have not tried peanut oil. I will give it a try especially if it's better than vegetable oil at higher temperatures. Thanks so much for the tip.
Hey Billy Joe. I really need to wearing my glasses when I'm shooting a video. LOL thanks for the translation :-) I find it interesting these pants or making it back into circulation. You know what they say you can't go wrong with old technology. Now on a different subject. When are you going to put out another video. I really do miss them. Stay safe down there and I shall talk to you later.
The handle would kill me for packing it. They are handy, seems most of our old ones ended up as dog dishes lol neat to see them make a comeback. Will still run into one now and again, left in the Wild West by some old timer.
Hey John. I understand what you mean by the handle getting in the way.. imagine you keep your storage boxes packed pretty tight. If you find some of those out in the desert. Grab them I bet you can sell them for a profit. Heck maybe even send me one😉 have an awesome weekend and I shall talk to you later.
I have a folding handle skillet. Which you reminded me needs cleaned up and re-seasoned. I use "Olive Oil". I have been told it does not go rancid as easy as other oils! On your video, at the time mark of 7:51. You say that the skillet is seasoned and ready to go on your next outing!!! So when will that be??? LOL!!!
You can use any food grade oil or grease to season a pan. I've used lard, Crisco (favorite) and various plant oils. The objective of seasoning is to coat the metal with a fat (oil) that has been carbonized (polymerized). When that happens during the high heat of seasoning, the fat will not turn rancid. Fat that has not been carbonized (either not hot enough or too thick a coating) will turn rancid over time.
There's nothing wrong with the folding handle Skillet ..I got one of those floating around here somewhere. As far as when I'm getting out again. I'm not really sure. Our current weather conditions are highs in the single digits and lows in the negatives. That's a little bit too cold for me. Hopefully it warms up next week. If so I'll be headed out again. Talk to you later and have an awesome evening..
I have this same pan I got recently, the handle does get hot. Where did you get the date from the 1800’s. I haven’t been able to find allot of information on them
Hi Josh. Well I did a lot of searching and found a little information. Then I called my friend that originally got the pan for me. He was able to find the information. Heads up my friend lives in Tennessee. So I'm sure the pain has an interesting history. Sorry I really couldn't help you out. Thanks so much your comment and have an awesome weekend.
@@Bob808Knight I think it’s probably a bit more recent. The spot welding on the handle looks too machine done to me. I don’t think it’s over 100, mine is in perfect shape.
I've seen them on eBay another place you might try would be a antique store. I bet they'll be cheaper there.. I tell you what if I find another one I will gladly send it to you.
You just had to mention bacon didn't you. Lol I just got off work and I'm freaking starving. I'm guess I'm headed for the kitchen. Talk to you later and have an awesome day..

Hey Billy Joe. I really need to wearing my glasses when I'm shooting a video. LOL thanks for the translation :-)
I find it interesting these pants or making it back into circulation. You know what they say you can't go wrong with old technology. Now on a different subject. When are you going to put out another video. I really do miss them. Stay safe down there and I shall talk to you later.
Kenneth Gramm has one
Pretty cool little pan Bob. I bet it's great for spam and eggs! (Hint hint).
Thanks Karl. I might have to use it in my next cooking with Bob episode. :-)
The handle would kill me for packing it. They are handy, seems most of our old ones ended up as dog dishes lol neat to see them make a comeback. Will still run into one now and again, left in the Wild West by some old timer.
Hey John. I understand what you mean by the handle getting in the way.. imagine you keep your storage boxes packed pretty tight. If you find some of those out in the desert. Grab them I bet you can sell them for a profit. Heck maybe even send me one😉 have an awesome weekend and I shall talk to you later.
@@Bob808Knight ah, that is one rule of the west. Take only pictures. We were at a site recently that used to have a nice lil collection, all gone now.
True. And only leave Footprints :-)
I have a folding handle skillet. Which you reminded me needs cleaned up and re-seasoned. I use "Olive Oil". I have been told it does not go rancid as easy as other oils! On your video, at the time mark of 7:51. You say that the skillet is seasoned and ready to go on your next outing!!! So when will that be??? LOL!!!
You can use any food grade oil or grease to season a pan. I've used lard, Crisco (favorite) and various plant oils. The objective of seasoning is to coat the metal with a fat (oil) that has been carbonized (polymerized). When that happens during the high heat of seasoning, the fat will not turn rancid. Fat that has not been carbonized (either not hot enough or too thick a coating) will turn rancid over time.
There's nothing wrong with the folding handle Skillet ..I got one of those floating around here somewhere. As far as when I'm getting out again. I'm not really sure. Our current weather conditions are highs in the single digits and lows in the negatives. That's a little bit too cold for me. Hopefully it warms up next week. If so I'll be headed out again. Talk to you later and have an awesome evening..
Excellent information Lee.
I have this same pan I got recently, the handle does get hot. Where did you get the date from the 1800’s. I haven’t been able to find allot of information on them
Hi Josh. Well I did a lot of searching and found a little information. Then I called my friend that originally got the pan for me. He was able to find the information. Heads up my friend lives in Tennessee. So I'm sure the pain has an interesting history. Sorry I really couldn't help you out. Thanks so much your comment and have an awesome weekend.
@@Bob808Knight I think it’s probably a bit more recent. The spot welding on the handle looks too machine done to me. I don’t think it’s over 100, mine is in perfect shape.
i am looking for one not sure where to find one just yet
I've seen them on eBay another place you might try would be a antique store. I bet they'll be cheaper there.. I tell you what if I find another one I will gladly send it to you.
That would be awesome thank you so much
Oh by the way, whats the name and model of that little Coleman burner ?
Coleman Tabletop Butane Gas Camping Stove - Walmart sells them in the camping section along with the fuel for them.
Due to all the questions I've had about the stove. There will be a video on it next week. Talk to you later and have an awesome day..
Or SACRED BACON grease
You just had to mention bacon didn't you. Lol I just got off work and I'm freaking starving. I'm guess I'm headed for the kitchen. Talk to you later and have an awesome day..
Rub a dub dub , ,,, scrub out old grub , ,,,,
Lol yes sir. Thanks for stopping by and watching. Have an awesome day
I covet.
Hi Larry. I bet you can find one of these Skillets on eBay. I bet it wouldn't be that much... have an awesome day and I shall talk to you later..
