Frequently Asked Questions
How did you come up with thisidea? We collect and use our vintageskillets every day. We were tired of nothaving a good way to store them.
Why are you doing this? We don’t want to spend $500 on an originalskillet rack, but we want the quality of those vintage racks. In our experience all of the store-boughtracks are cheap and made by overseas companies.We are not big business – we are a family business trying to fill a voidand we’ve always dreamed of doing something like this.
Why model it similar to the Wagner design from the 1950's? We bought several different vintage racksincluding Griswold, a few types of Wagner’s and some generic designs. The Griswold design really only works withGriswold skillets due to the low wire bend and space between wires. The Wagner had more generous space betweenthe wires and the wire bend loop is slightly higher—which keeps all brands ofskillets at a better angle. We also like the three-point contact with the countertop so there is absolutely no bend or sag when your skillets are on display.
Why only four skillets and one griddle, I have awhole set? It is a compromise. If you have the entire set you know there isno manufacturer that has a rack from, in the case of Griswold, 2-14. We built these to be used, and we felt thatfour skillets and one griddle is the perfect starter set and the sizes mostusers have in their kitchen.
What is the perfect set? We built this to hold several different size skillets. The most popular is a 3, 5, 7, 8 and a round skillet griddle. However,it will also hold different configurations such as a 3, 5, 6, 9 and round griddle. We even tried a #12 Griswold and it worked fine!
Does the rack require any maintenance? No, it is electro plated and will not rust. It is not shiny like chrome, but more of a gunmetal grey electroplating—just like the originals. If it gets greasy, just use a little dishsoap to clean. Use common sense and don’tput it in the dishwasher.
Why didn’t you make a Griswold or Wagnersign? We are a small business, not lawyers,and we didn’t want any trademark issues.
What is the sign made out of? It is made out of painted aluminum andlettering. No cheap plastic or decalsare used.
What if I want the rack but notthe sign? We only ship the rack and signtogether.
Will the metal scratch mycountertop? The “feet” of the rack arepolished and ground so there are no sharp edges. We’ve had the prototype on our Formicacounter for over 6 months with no issues.
Could I repaint the sign? Once you own it you can do whatever you wantwith it. Some customers have repaintedand reproduced their favorite skillet brand on the sign.
Will the rack hold other types ofpans that are not cast iron? We tried afew and yes you could use these for other types of skillets.
Are any of the skillets or the Wagner comparison rack depicted in the photos included? No.
Where are these racks made? The signs are made in Canada. The wire used in the rack is made in the USAand the racks are manufactured in Ohio.The racks are then assembled and shipped from Ohio.
Geography sold? Continental USA only.
