If you're cooking large quantity it's handy to use the large pan outside on a rocket cooker or in the gas grill. One of my buddies does fried porkchops for yhe family like that. I cook all manner of things outside in the summer to help keep the house cooler. With our Scout Troop 17" is the medium cast iron pan.
Right. Or didn’t take the time to learn how to cook with it and tossed it cause things stuck.
Just put one in a dishwasher and see what happens...
That's enough to make a man cry.

Nothing to it to restore one of those!
When they’ve gathered rainwater outside is when you have some hard work!
So many of the new castings are so grainy, having a pebbly surface, that rust is a good excuse to just sand it flat and start with a fresh new seasoning.
I’ve done a lot of cooking on modern Lodge and also Ozark Trail/Mainstays (aka Walmart brand). I’ve noticed that Lodge will vary in roughness from piece to piece and the Walmart will be something like 120 grit sandpaper. However they do cook well as long as you aren’t coming something like a sauce that will adhere. And they smooth out as seasoning fills in. I’ve not yet tried to sand one as I just keep an eye out for vintage pieces if I want a super smooth surface.
Like this one that I use for frying eggs. It’s like a mirror.

No markings anywhere on it. I sanded it completely down and started over. I have an old friend thats really in to cast iron. He thinks it's an old Lodge. Maybe 60s or 70s. I don't really know. Makes a great fish fryer. One gallon of oil only brings it up to one inch in the pan. The guy that gave me that one also gave me a deep dutch oven and lid. His wife was going to make a flower pot out if it. Sad.
Post a pic of the handle and one of the bottom of the pan

I can get one of the handles this evening.
That is sufficient, I can probably get an ID from this.
So far I have gathered that is probably a hotel or prison skillet, most likely made by Lodge.
