Should You Cook with Rare Griswold Cast Iron or Keep It as a Display Piece?

Picture this: you’re wandering through an antique mall, and there it is — a whole wall of vintage Griswold cast iron skillets. Large block logos, slant logos, early handles, all perfectly restored. Your heart races. But then doubt creeps in. If you buy one of these beauties, do you actually cook with it? Or do you hang it on the wall like a museum piece? I’ve asked myself the same question, and after hours of testing, research, and scrolling through r/castiron, I’ve got real answers for you.
