    Default Cast iron bowl?

    Being a cast iron junkie in the kitchen I was looking at some of the small pots/bowls Lodge makes and it hit me that once the bugger was hot... it was going to stay hot and keep lather toasty warm alot longer than what I'm using now.

    Has anyone tried these small cast iron bowls as a lather bowl?

    i myself am a cast iron fiend.. i have a huge collection.. but mainly use my john wright 9 inch for as much as i can.. so i can season the shit out of it..

    i also have stopped using my bare cast iron dutch oven in favour of a le crueset..

    i never thought of using cast iron for lather.. my only concern would be over cooking the lather.. but maybe keeping a small enameled piece on a heating pad might be the answer.. a sure waste of electricity.. but damn classy..

    i'll have to try.

    HAHA Never give up my DO's for a silly ceramic monster... /hides the 12" ceramic DO...

    Well I wasn't planning on using a heat source outside of hot water to get it up to temp... Cooked lather just doesn't sound appealing... That post on my blog took it out of me lol, got a little crazy on making home made broth...

    I'd imagine they work very well, especially at holding the heat!

    Be sure to "season" it to avoid the inevitable rust.

    Too heavy for me besides my wife might get mad and use it to thump me over the head.

    When I got married, my wife introduced me to cast iron skillets. Wonderful devices at holding heat!

    If it was good enough for her grandmother, it is good enough for me.

    I never thought about lathering in them though. Thanks for the idea. And, stay tuned...

    I completely took this a different way!
    I guess you meant the skillets were for cooking!

    Utopian, that was funny! I admit it. Even though it was at my expense...
