Cast iron cooking
-
zbigjeff Must be doing pretty good with that new hip of yours; being able to go “treasure hunting” in Amish Country. Whenever we go to the Amish areas in Wisconsin or down in the Ozarks; where the Wife’s family is from, we always find something interesting and useful. We also always come home with a bunch of jam, jellies & preserves. Good stuff!
Have a good safe trip.Bob Stehlik Yep, the hip rehab is coming along nicely. I walk now about .5 miles per jaunt (without a cane for one week now). Take a rest and then do it again. So, with that being successful, you guys forced me into thinking that I could do a bit of shopping in short stints.
Was going to do it today. But, I decided to cold smoke some sirloin steaks and then sous vide them while I’m waiting on a crew to replace my hot water tank. In the middle of smoking them right now. I mixed up some magic prairie dust and added a bit of #1 cure so I don’t kill people. I did the same to pork chops the other day and OMG. The “trip in search of cast iron bread pans” will be on the short horizon. -
TexLaw I have been doing a seasoning test with flaxseed oil since you mentioned that you received some chipping. Yup, flaxseed only seasoning on mine is chipping like crazy and will need to be cleaned and re-seasoned. The CI with only 4-6 coats are holding fine, but I use another high smoke point oil for my daily users for after use. Thanks for the info.

Has anyone here tried Crisbee to season cast iron? I’ve been thinking of trying it.

kyle I was thinking the exact same thing

calldoctoday Going down to Amish country soon and will look for that item. They have to have something like that down there.
zbigjeff what areas are you hitting? The wife already wants to head back to shop for a new dinning room set.

GWG8541 Was thinking Lehman’s hardware and surrounding area. I believe it’s around Kidron and about 45 mins south of me.
zbigjeff you are correct, its in Kidron. It is awesome to visit, but evertime we go, we seem to buy something. My biggest problem in going to Amish Country is that my bathroom scale malfunctions everytime we go and says I’m 5 to 10 pounds heavier than I should be.

Tex_77 nice. I think I heard angels sing when I opened the picture of that skillet. Let me know how you like it.

Tex_77 Absolutely beautiful!

Always do my meatloaf in my mom’s old cast iron loaf pan anymore, comes out so much better. I don’t know where she got it, but I suspect it came from my grandmother,
johnsbrewhouse somehow I missed this, but that looks great.

Tex_77 Have fun with your new toy. I never saw that brand around here. Must be mail order only.
zbigjeff yup got it online, saw it on Kent Rollins YouTube channel.

zbigjeff it came pre-seasoned, but i use Camp Chef Cast Iron Conditioner after every cook to keep the seasoning built up.

@dennyo You can never have to much, unless you ask my wife.

Tex_77 that is nice! Is it lighter weight like an old pan?
