What is the lifespan of cast iron skillets?

Hi folks! I’m Curious about something. I got a cast iron skillet from my grandma, and it's still in amazing shape . This got me thinking about how long these pans really last . I've read they can be practically immortal with the right care . Is that true? How do you keep yours in top condition for years, or heck, generations? Does anyone have stories of skillets being passed down through their family? Would love to gather some tips and tales on making the most of these kitchen staples.

The lifespan of cast iron skillets can be indefinite with proper care. They can last for generations and often become better with age as they develop a natural non-stick surface called seasoning.

Personally, I think the lifespan of cast iron skillets can vary, but with proper care, they can last for generations. In my experience, though, regularly seasoning your skillet and avoiding harsh detergents can help prolong its lifespan.
