We're here to provide people who have a love for cooking with restored American made quality culinary cast iron cookware.

Rather than using Kickstarter to start a cookware company, the Crusaders have come to Etsy. Each sale of one of our well cleaned and well seasoned US antique cast iron pieces allows for another crusade. Each crusade provides more amazing antique cast iron cookware opportunities, and more variety, for you, the consumer. Each piece is capable of lasting more than one lifetime. Our mission is to restore and provide as much seasoned to nonstick light weight antique cookware as possible in 2015.

Everyone has their methods, at the Crusader shop we use organic oils in order to show these pieces are as clean as the day they came into being.

I choose to use the organic oils on every Crusader piece for two reasons:

1.) It's the most transparent way for the shop to display to you the consumer what type of work was done on this piece. With crisco it only takes one or two 500 degree seasoning sessions to turn a pan dirty jet black. Nice, if you're doing it yourself, and are okay with using Crisco, but not as comfortable when you know that it's so good at turning pieces black that it can cover up dirt and grime.

2.) The comfort of knowing a natural product was used to season your natural piece of iron.

Organic oils like grapeseed are nice because you have the comfort of knowing they are 100% natural. This means they have benefits instead of risks. Grapeseed oil even SMELLS and TASTES amazing.

Every purchase brings the dream closer of sharing passion, good energy, and quality products with people in the cookware market. Being in Wisconsin, and being that each piece has quite a vibrant past, it's also possible that the skillet you purchase at one time served Al Capone breakfast !

******Each Crusader piece is ENTIRELY clean of the oil and dirt that most antique cast iron pieces have. If you're wondering why the Crusader prices are a bit higher priced than most, it's because each one of these pieces are cleaned until the pores are free 100% from antique dirt and grime.

Always pay extremely close attention to the color and consistency of cast iron pieces offered on the internet. Remember these pieces are antiques, if it looks like dirt and grime, it is. If it looks discolored, it's an extremely dirty piece under the seasoning. That's the difference between the Crusaders and other antique providers. I clean these pieces as though I were about to give them to a king or queen. A clean antique piece of iron is the only kind anyone should be cooking with In 2015.

As the shop owner, I have many aspirations for future cookware/cooking related endeavors. Ultimately , I'm willing to work as hard as necessary to make the dream come true.

My promise to you as the consumer is that I will personally locate, restore, and hand season every piece I ever put in this shop completely. It's an absolute mission of mine to provide the best options for CLEAN seasoned antique cast iron cookware on Etsy.

I want to ignite passion into people that think they want to try to cook but haven't started. I'd like to make it fun to cook for as many people as possible. In doing this my hope is to add to the number of households in 2015 that cook for themselves.

******As dealers of high quality vintage American made cast iron cookware, all of our pieces are 50 to 100 years old. As a result of the Crusader shop's thorough cleaning & seasoning methods, cast iron purchasers can expect a perfectly seasoned product ready for kitchen use out of the box. It's a point of pride for me as the shop owner to provide a piece of cast iron that is ready for immediate functional use from the beginning. This step saves the purchaser hours of trial and error work. In fact, each and every pan in the Crusader shop has been through 20 or more hours of hand seasoning. In addition, the Crusaders provide detailed instructions on how to care for and cook with our vintage cast iron pieces so that a nonstick experience can be perfected from the beginning.

As the only shop on Etsy that takes the time to strategically season our inventory of antique smooth cast iron cookware (for up to 20 one hour sessions in a 450-500 degree oven) the Cast Iron Crusaders and Curators guarantee a product that is superior to other antique iron providers, and is out of the box, ready to use. Your very own functional piece of US history, and a piece of cast iron cookware that any chef would be proud to own.

All pieces are restored using the most trusted and safe cast iron restoration methods. As a member of the Wagner and Griswold Society, the Crusaders have spent a lot of time researching how to safely clean vintage iron. The metal is not harmed in order to restore these pieces. All pans are placed into a vinegar/water bath and cleaned with soap before they are seasoned with an organic seasoning blend. The price of these functional antique cast iron cookware pieces reflects their rarity, supply/shipping costs, and seasoning costs.

Antique Iron is considered to be the best of the best, the crem de le crem, even over modern Lodge and other cast iron providers. The reason is because the older US cast iron cookware companies used methods that produced higher quality castings, they used finer sands that created a smoother cooking surface more capable of developing a 'glassy' sheen and seasoning texture. This is opposed to the rough, porous, gritty surface of modern Lodge pans. The modern surface is mass produced and is ultimately poorer quality than the antique cast iron cookware. Although it is possible to season a modern pan so that it is useable, the process is more tedious and the pans themselves are heavier in weight compared to the antique US cast iron skillets.

Ultimately, with the Cast Iron Crusaders and Curators, you're receiving a piece of US history, a piece that has a history of its own, that may span for a period of time that was before your time.

Enjoy the history of these vintage-new cast iron cookware pieces, and enjoy continuing their stories by making kitchen history yourself. Expect envious friends and comments and questions, as these cast iron pieces become a focal point and talking point in all kitchen settings.

Cast Iron has made a come back due to the ruling that has outlawed teflon cookware as of 2015.
