Any Cast Iron cooks out there?

[jzmtl]

Hmm, I'll try it after I cleaned it up a bit. Probably need to season it too.

Yeah, if it's new to you (or it hasn't been used in a long while) give it a good scrub and reseason. Either wipe with oil and burn off on the hob, or similar in the oven.

I tend to season at least twice before using any new iron and do food with heavy fat (such as pork chops) on first use if not enamelled. Low to medium heat only with cast iron unless deep frying or stir frying, starting with low if the pan is particularly cold to start with, wait till the handle is too hot to touch before cooking so you know the pan is hot throughout. Give it a quick wipe out when finished.

No tomato based recipes - too acidic

Ok found old pictures of my iron cast thing... I believe this is 'le creuset' piece.

this thread need a bump


We found a cast iron Coleman pan at Walmart clearance for 2.50 a couple months ago. Got it seasoning in the smithy right now. Might cook up some yard bird in it later tonight with red taters.

Nothing makes a great Southern U.S. cornbread like an old cast iron skillet.

Baked some chicken in the oven with my coleman..turned out excellent.

you can always tell how good your food is going to be by how many beagles are staring you down.
