You think it was the made in china that gave that one away?  I figured it wasn't that old as they were using it.  The other cast iron stuff was up in the attic.  

thanks....

Greg, I'm sure you are right.  I don't think that gem pan is marked. I'd like to bake something in it, once it is cleaned.  Maybe you don't actually bake in it though...?  I haven't hit the recipes forum yet but I will.  What do you cook in the gem pan..and does anybody know what the bottom long "bread stick" type pans are?  Is it for bread sticks?  I thought perhaps they were for tools...as I found something quite similar in that kitchen book.  But, I think it is for food.

I was going to suggest that you clean it up and bake in it, as I bet it is a great baker, especiallly for corn bread, as it would give nice crunchy, swirlies, LOL.  Love those 'turk' head like pans.

and last a set of pans that appear to be bread sticks?  they measure 1' 1" end to end (not including the handles).  I can't find a mark but they are dirty, as well.


Congrats on having 2 of these! I'm looking for another one to cook more than 1 at a time.

I bake cornbread sticks in mine. Simple, low fat recipe.
Prehead oven to 450*. Some folks heat the pan, too, but I don't anymore.

1 c white self rising cornmeal
1/3 c yellow cornmeal
1/3 c instant non fat powdered milk powder
Mix above together.
1 egg white
1 tbsp olive oil (or any veggie oil)
1 c water
Mix these 3 together well.
Add wet mix to dry mixture. Mix well, but don't overmix. Add water if mixture is too thick.

Spoon into seasoned and well oiled (Pam) pan. It takes about 2 tbsp mixture per section. Do not overfill.

Bake at 450 for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Use a fork to break free any stick that has stuck. If the pan is well seasoned and the cornbread is done, they should pop out with a gentle prod with a fork.

IMHO, these are better than cornbread baked in a skillet because there's so much more of the crispy crust. Serve with any meal that works with cornbread or hushpuppies.

Note: With a newly seasoned pan, it may take a couple of tries to get them to come out without breaking apart. The better the seasoning, the better the pan will work. So, just keep at it and you'll be rewarded with some good eating!

Hope this helps.
