I broke my husband's cast iron pan that had been his great-grandmothers. I feel horrible. How do you fix something like that?
Cast iron can be welded back together once it has broken. A local engineer would be happy to do this for a quick drink. However, if the pan is enameled (has a shiny coating on it) then it will also need re-emamelling. This is very expensive and you will be unlikely to find someone to do this.
You could try taking it to a blacksmiths to have it stuck back together. That really sucks! I have a cast iron frying pan my granpa made.
Hot glue it. Or to make it look perfect again take it to some where that people fix that kind of stuff.
Go to walmart and spend 10 bucks on a new one……
you can take it to a blacksmith . or just get a new one .
NO REAL FIX. THE WELDING OF CAST IRON IS VERY TRICKY. IT IS TOO BRITTLE(AND THAT IS WHY IT BROKE). SO LETS SAY
WE GO AHEAD AND WELD IT, THEN GRIND ON AN EMERY WHEEL
TO GET THE WELD BEAD SMOOTH AND… NO SOAP. TOO EXPENSIVE. WAS IT A GRISWOLD MADE IN ERIE, PA? I THOUGHT THEY WERE STILL IN BUSINESS. IF NOT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND ONE AT AN ANTIQUE STORE OR FLEA MARKET. IT WILL HAVE THE NAME ON THE BOTTOM I BELIEVE. I EVEN THINK I HAVE ONE IN MY PANTRY.
I JUST CHECKED WITH THE YAHOO SEARCH ENGINE AND GRISWOLD IS OUT OF BUSINESS BUT YOU CAN STILL BUY IT ON EBAY OR ELSEWHERE. TOO BAD BUT NOW YOU’D HAVE TO BUY ONE MADE IN CHINA OR MEXICO. I THINK THAT BROKEN ONE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.
