I used to cook with aluminum all the time. Putting it under fish, chicken,and meat baking it in the oven or doing hobo dinners in the fire but then I heard that it causes memory loss. That it could be a path for dementia so I haven't done it since a couple years ago. Is this just propaganda or the real deal?

Checked my go-to skillet. A 10" No. 6 Griswold Erie PA 699 I on the bottom, no heat ring. Checked online, they were made 1939-1957. I've got a 6" No. 3 Griswold Erie PA 709H -, same era, a second 10" Griswold No. 6 appears older - cant read much off the bottom, a big Griswold 11 3/4" also worn on the bottom. A couple others. I think those that are worn on the bottom may have been my mother's mothers pans, she cooked on a wood cookstove into the 1950s, used to feed my grandfathers logging crew through the depression and WW2.

Wow. That's some history. I don't think I have any heat rings but I'm not sure what they look like.

Well damn those are some good looking skillets. Yeah mine doesn't have a heat ring. I like how they're numbered. It looks like their numbered by their creation date.

Nice collection. Good story. They are good for two or three more generations. I have a No. 6 like yours and a No.8. No family history, I just found them at yard sales.

Easily. But I have no kids, they may end up in a yardsale one day, but not before I'm done with them! Lol!
