Your starting point for all things cast iron.

The Griswold & Cast Iron Cookware Association (GCICA) is a nationwide community for anyone who loves cast iron—old or new. We bring people and useful resources together to help you explore, enjoy, and preserve cookware from the past and present.

Our roots go back to three founding couples who wanted to connect collectors nationwide through shared knowledge and friendships. At the first organizational meeting in 1992, that welcome extended to collectors of all cast iron cookware. We carry that spirit forward today. Read our history.

Whether you collect vintage pieces, cook and bake with a favorite skillet, display your collection, or enjoy buying, selling, and trading, there is a place for you here. From your first pan to a lifelong passion, GCICA welcomes your curiosity and experience.

Our Research & Resources section gathers links to cookware history, identification, care, cooking ideas, manufacturer stories, and collector communities. Explore Cookware Makers: Past & Present to meet familiar names and current makers, or visit Where to Buy for vintage finds and new cookware.

GCICA is also about people. Our Annual Convention, regional chapter meets, and other association activities bring enthusiasts together to share discoveries, exchange knowledge, see remarkable cookware, and build lasting friendships.

Join the conversation: Most GCICA sharing and discussion happens in our Facebook group for members and friends. The group is private; you can request to join on Facebook.
