Dont even have to season this bitch, its already pre-seasoned with some type of organic flaxseed oil that those vegan hipsters love so much.

Try to get your hands on a field, field and stargazer are the absolute best modern cast iron. Although getting a lodge is perfectly and I’m sure they’re available in Germany, since I’ve seen them in Asia. is perfectly fine. I would recommend doing the cowboy Kent method of slightly sanding it down and reseasoning it from scratch. I have a lodge that I sanded and a one I just cooked in from day one and the seasoning is way better and more even on the sanded one. Although both will slide an egg with only a tiny bit of butter needed

Honestly my favorite pan is probably my 3 notch Lodge. Not too thin, not too thick, milled cooking surface. New lodge is too rough but I own a few, if they milled the cooking surfaces they would be better. I bought one of those #10 Finex skillets when they were on clearance for $70, I've never used it.

Again, the storage space flooded out while I was out of state, and it was such a loss I ended up trashing 4/5ths of it. I wasn't keeping IKEA trash, or a shit-ton of consooomer goods. These were things like a 1954 craftsman metal lathe, an 1830s kitchen table, a full library of 150+year old books, 1910 icebox, a large Victrola...all high quality antiques. they didn't even fill a 10 X 12 when I transferred them.
I understand what you mean when you say your boomer mom kept granny's dishes, Boomers assign value to shit that is either sentimental, or because they can't face that they bought overpriced JUNK and so did millions of other boomers, so theirs isn't worth ¼ of what they think it is.
