The other day I went to this huge, three-story "antique mall" to check things out and I was pleasantly surprised by the huge amount of antique cooking utensils for sale. It really seemed as if every stand inside featured incredibly old (and strange) whisks, egg beaters, graters, pans, etc. etc.
Do any Serious Eaters collect this stuff or use it? Would it be sanitary to? I ended up buying a really heavy, cast iron skillet. Both my boyfriend and my dad thinks it's unsafe-- or rather-- "unsanitary" to use, but I think it's fine. Should I clean it a specific way or take any extra precautions?
