She never said anything about the non-stick qualities though, but now that I think about it, I never recall that she buttered or sprayed the pan specifically for that reason! She uses iron because it is durable, doesn't warp (hot spots on heating coils or fast cooling from cold water,) it lasts forever, and most importantly- because it introduces an amount of iron that lessens the amount of supplements she has to take due to iron-poor blood and anemia. Thanks for posting this part, though- I live in the Amish region of Pennsylvania, USA... they're everywhere here, new and used.</p> My Mother has been using them for years.
