Wow, you just joggled my memory. Now that you mention it. I do believe that is exactly what my mom used some of the butter wrappers for. To keep that old black/cast iron skillet nice and oily and stick free! That and my dad used them to start fires in our wood fire place!

By the way. I USE CAST IRON SKILLETS TO THIS DAY! Let me tell you people who may not know about black iron for cooking. Hands down, they are the best. Once you've used them for awhile, they develop a fantastic stick free surface. The cost of them is very little. Years ago I did use stick free Teflon pans, even had some that cost alot of money. BUT, it takes only one time of over heating a Teflon pan and it's SHOT. They say, using Teflon may have heath hazards as well

With black iron, you can burn the crap out of them, and they just keep getting better! If you buy good quality black/cast iron cookware, you can hand it down to your children, and I'm not joking!

  In terms of dumb fights I have had with my wife.
  Using soap on a cast iron pan and throwing out the butter wrappers, may be when I was the most obstinate.

  Cast iron is what I prefer to cook in too, 4th. How can anyone fry chicken without a cast iron skillet, much less make a roux?
  
  I remember my mom talking about the depression years. They were a farm family of 7 kids (10 in my dad's family) and she said they always had enough to eat and everybody else they knew were as poor as they were, so they didn't know they were poor.
  
  She said in the summer time they only wore shoes on Sunday when they went to church and went barefoot the rest of the time. They picked cotton and hoed corn fields to make money to buy school clothes. My parents were "cash only" types, and my dad is 83 and has never had a credit card in his life.
