Up for sale is a RARE vintage 1980s Birmingham Stove & Range (BSR) Cornbread Stick Pan with center handle otherwise known as the Handy Dan, model 74 H. Because BS&R ceased operations in the late 1980s not too many of these pans were produced, thus contributing to their rarity. This pan was acquired in used but good condition and was totally restored to like new condition as outlined below. Cornbread pans in general are more difficult to restore due to all the “nooks & crannies” on these skillets, so people generally don’t want to deal with them. Please see details below & photos for complete description. Color: Pan is a dark chocolate brown/light black from the initial seasonings (4) done after stripping pan down to a gun metal gray. At this stage, it should not look black until it has been used over a period of time. Any pan that looks shiny black in the listing has not gone through this process. In daylight, the skillet will appear dark brown but may appear black in your kitchen due to different lighting environments. Excellent for both gas and electric ovens. Could be used in a convection oven, but please consult your owners guide as to proper use as to baking times, etc. Handle to other side: 10 7/8. Height (including handle): 2. Pre-Packaged Weight: 5 pounds, 9.3 ounces. This pan has been totally stripped to raw metal using a combination of a lye bath soak and a vinegar/water rinse to safely strip the pan down to a gun metal gray. These processes follow industry guidelines for a safe and effective restoration. My specific processes will usually remove all old crud, built up seasoning, rust, and anything else lurking on the skillet. On occasion, there will be old seasoning that can’t be removed without damaging the skillet – however this won’t impede the normal use of this skillet. The pan was then washed down with water, a scouring pad, and blue Dawn mild dish detergent & then dried before entering the seasoning process. This is the most important step in the restoration process and many times takes much longer than seasoning. This is also why my pans look like a deep chocolate brown when finished. My pans are safe, non-stick, and look great from this process! Once pan was thoroughly dried, it was seasoned 4 times with a blend of organic high smoke point oils with beeswax as an emulsifier following industry guidelines. Before seasoning each time and once the pan was sufficiently warmed up, the oil was wiped on and then off again, thus leaving the thin surface of oil which is all that is required when properly seasoning a skillet. I have a process which gradually heats the skillet with the applied seasoning so that it goes on evenly and stays that way. The final step is the baking on of the seasoning beyond the smoke point for an hour. It produces a pan that isn’t gummy or wet, but is a nice dry matte finish. This pan is all ready to use and will continue to season the longer it is used. I have seasoned a number of pans this way using Crisco/Easy Beezy Seasoning Stick after doing the flax seed oil method and find that they work better with the heated skillets for even consistent application, and stays intact without flaking off after correctly using & cleaning the pans after each use. Special attention is given to the handle with extra bubble wrap and situated so that it won’t poke through the box which can happen if not packed properly.
