I just acquired a Vollrath #8 deep dryer with lid, in fantastic condition, just needing to be stripped and reseasoned. I see these going anywhere from $140 to $290 online.

I got it for $40!!!

    Awesome find. I was really into it for a while but got extremely paranoid about lead being used in the pans.

      I got a lead test kit off of Amazon, it was very highly rated

      So the best method I found in my research is to use the same test twice. Once on the test subject, and then on something you know to contain lead. Well you wouldn’t believe what I found at the antique mall…

      The test turns this deep purple color when it comes in contact with lead. So here were my findings

        Oh damn that really turns red, all my tests turned very brown so I wasn’t completely sure if the test was working or not.
