My grandma's old cast iron skillet finally cracked after 40 years
I was making my usual Sunday chili last month when I heard this loud ping. Looked down and there was a hairline crack right across the bottom. That skillet was her go to for everything from cornbread to fried chicken. I tried to patch it with some high heat epoxy I found at the hardware store but it just burned off after one use. Now I'm stuck using a cheap nonstick pan and everything tastes different. Anyone else had an old piece of cookware just give up on them? What did you replace it with?

Honestly I gotta push back a little here. Is a cracked skillet really that big of a deal? Like yeah it sucks that it broke but you can find a decent cast iron at a thrift store for like 15 bucks and it'll probably outlast the new one your grandma had. Doesn't the chili taste different just because you're used to the old pan more than anything else?
