Description: Presenting this BSR Red Mountain #3 Skillet. This BSR Red Mountain #3 skillet is in good condition and ready for use or display. It has some small pits and scratches, typical of vintage cast iron, but it sits flat for stable cooking. A reliable and charming piece from the early days of Southern cookware, perfect for collectors or cast iron enthusiasts. Key Features: Type: skillet Size: #3 Condition: Used Restoration: Thoroughly cleaned using electrolysis and lye, followed by three layers of seasoning with grapeseed, avocado oil, and beeswax This skillet is ready for cooking but will continue to develop its non-stick surface over time with regular use. Cooking spray, butter, oil, fats, should be used to help prevent items from sticking and will also help with the continued seasoning process. The Birmingham Stove and Range Company (BSR), founded in 1902 in Alabama, was known for producing durable, affordable cast iron cookware, including skillets, Dutch ovens, and camp ovens. Its notable product lines include the Red Mountain series (early 20th century) and the Century series (mid-20th century), both prized for their solid construction and smooth cooking surfaces. While BSR cookware lacked the refined polish of brands like Griswold, it was highly functional and long-lasting. BSR also produced unmarked cookware, identifiable by certain design features. The company introduced automated casting to keep prices low, but eventually closed in the late 1980s. Today, BSR cast iron remains popular among collectors and home cooks for its durability and practicality. Why Use Antique Cast Iron? Antique cast iron cookware is often preferred over modern pieces because it has a smoother cooking surface, making it more non-stick once seasoned. It’s typically lighter and more finely crafted, with greater durability and historical value. Vintage cast iron also offers the benefit of sustainability, as it repurposes high-quality cookware that improves with use, making it both a functional and collectible item.
