Hey gang,

I'm jumping for joy as I just acquired my first "ERIE" piece. I believe it was manufactured in the 1885-1905 range and that would make this the oldest piece in my collection of 16 or 17 pieces. It's in great shape, very, very few issues on the back (I think the little casting flaws give it character) and the cooking surface is glassy smooth. I can't wait to get more "ERIE" items in my collection. Also, this will not be a display piece, i plan on using this A LOT!!

Very nice piece! I have yet to find any Erie pieces to add to my collection, but am looking forward to the day. I hope you find many, many great meals to be had out of this pan!
 
Sometimes it is appropriate to crank the heat up for skillets, but not for griddles. Especially THAT griddle as it would be a sin to warp it. Low will get you to 400+ degrees and medium into the 600’s. Enough to cook anything and burn most.

I have that same exact #8 handled griddle (738) as my first "ERIE". It was a bit crusty to begin with, but it cleaned up like a brand new griddle. It is pretty much reserved for when I make pancakes or grilled sandwiches.
