Cause you left? I quit posting many food pics as many of the food based threads had slowed down a lot and I was more or less talking to my self LOL. I have been doing a LOT of cooking with cast iron over the past few months. Have definitely become a better cook and stuff cooked in CI just turns out better.
hi svk -
naw-w... I had nothing to do with it. its a good thread, for sure!
the Teflon guys mite not like it, but if u like cast iron... this is swell.
the foodie threads did slow down I see. I mean... where's Ambox...? etc. and no doubt most still eat 3-squares.
I can add some stuff to the thread. I have a very nice cast iron collection of pots, pans, DO's, fry pans and related outdoor cooking items. oodles and oodles. i'll share some pix, too. I didn't find my cast iron, it found me... more on that later.
I, too, really like cast iron cookware. I have old, very old and new, too. who don't like a nice steak done in a really hot cast iron fry pan. can put that caramelization on the sides real nice.
I have cast iron pans on my stove in town and also out at the ranch...
3 cast iron fry pans and a steel platter plate I like to cook on, sometimes just use as a cover... I always heat the pan, add some cooking oil, just enuff to wet an area, then wipe it out so its fresh each time. clean, black and shiny or my food don't go in it... I mostly cook meat in the fry plans. steaks, NYS, chops and cuts, like pork. mostly lamb chops. I keep the tall one on stove and use it for smaller pcs as it fends off splatter... and I use my splatter screens when frying meats in the cast iron fry pans. I use canola oil as it can take a bit more heat. sometimes I add in olive oil towards end of cooking.
