When the nuts were placed on a rock or other hard surface, the iron was used to crack the nuts open. Cast irons were also used as nut crackers. We used irons as doorstops and today, they are still used for that purpose and are also collector’s pieces. Without a quick way to iron his shirt, he would have been quite late for church. I was usually the one that he’d ask to go to my cousin’s house and ask to use their electric iron. I can remember on at least one occasion my Dad getting dressed for church on Sunday morning and realizing that his shirt needed pressing. It took forever for those big, thick, heavy irons to heat up. The rag was also used for removing soot (black, smog-like residue) that clung to the iron from the burning wood. If it burned the rag, them, it’d burn my clothes, so I had to let it cool. If it wasn’t thick enough, eventually you’d feel the heat.Īnother trick was that before placing the iron on the clothes, I rubbed it on the ironing rag – a piece of cloth used to test the “hotness” of the iron. Since we didn’t have potholders, we’d wrap cotton cloth until it was thick enough to hold the iron handle. You may wonder how such a hot item is held. When the one I was using got too cool to sufficiently iron the fabric, then I’d put that iron back on the stove and grab the one that was waiting in the wings. When they got hot, the first iron was used for clothes that didn’t require much heat while the other continued to heat to press heavier clothes. Both irons were placed on the stove to heat at the same time. Why two? Because they were heated on top of a wood-burning stove. Families (like ours) that didn’t have electricity had at least two cast irons. (There are pictures on the in ternet, if you’d like to view them). Most of you have probably never seen a “real live” cast iron. God forbid if I had dropped that heavy monster on my foot. So, if I could hold the 10-pound iron, I had to press my clothes. We kids were taught to be industrious and learn to do things for ourselves. Now, I don’t know what age I started, but I know I ironed my clothes when I was in early elementary school. It’s ironing day, a day I’m not particularly fond of, but ever since I was big enough to stand up, I remember having to iron my own clothes.
