I don't know anyone--not a single household--among all my "city friends" that does not have an excellent cast iron skillet at the very least. Many of them own vintage or family heirloom cast iron.
Hey, here's a thought--how about we rethink these 30 year old stereotypes about "folks that don't live like we do"? You don't see me yukking it up over "those country rubes"--and for good reason: I know that that stereotype doesn't hold up.

I dont collect cast iron I use it.
It just so happens I use it a lot.
Maybe I should move to the big city and show off my cooking prowess to get a gal.
Here is my take on demographics cast iron cook tops and cooking.
I have a glass top stove I use cast iron on it.
People say it will scratch the stove top well maybe a little but.
It is a darn stove top not the body of a 100,000 show car for crying out loud.
Since when did a stove become a play pretty and not a tool to cook on.
I have a friend that loves his cast iron and has a glass stove top.
He said he would love to use the cast iron but doesn't want to scratch his top.
Really dude I said that is like going out and buying a hammer and not using it because you might scratch the thing.
By the way the best way to clean a glass top stove top is with a razor blade.
When it stop's getting stuff off and going under the stuff flip it over and it will work again.
You can buy a 20 year supply of these things for the price of the worthless kit they sell that does nothing.
Or am I the only person that has stuff boil over on the stove.
I remember the great marmalade eruption of 2015.
