Cast iron skillet memes
There is something special about a piece of cookware that weighs more than a newborn calf. It is reliable. It is sturdy. It is the kind of thing you pass down to your grandkids, provided they are strong enough to lift it. But lately, the internet has taken a liking to these heavy black pans, and I have to say, the cast iron skillet memes they are coming up with are something else.
You have folks treating these pans like religious artifacts. They are scared to death of a drop of soap like it is kryptonite. Back in the day, we just cooked bacon in it and called it a day, but now you have people spending their entire weekend sanding down a skillet just to get that mirror finish. It is a labor of love, I suppose. There is a quiet dignity in maintaining a tool that can sear a steak and fend off a bear in the same afternoon.
The cast iron community is a passionate bunch, and their humor reflects that intense dedication. From the fear of rust to the pride of the slidey egg test, we have gathered the best jokes that every skillet owner will understand.
The Gadsden flag parody really sums it up. “Don’t Put Soap On Me” is basically the motto of every home cook who takes themselves too seriously. But honestly, if you put in the work to season that iron, you have earned the right to be a little protective. Just don’t let the maintenance ruin the joy of a good meal.
