I agree, I use one when I make smoked sausage plus so many other things. Keeps the 'looky loo' down to a minimum so you don't lose oven heat.

Yes sir, if you're looking you sure ain't cookin

Love my cast irons!
Breakfast!





Best thing about bacon (Besides the bacon) is leftover bacon grease!


Dinner! No action shot but this bird was cooked in my larger CI pan. Turned out great. Flatten chicken by cutting out backbone with shears. Sear on stove top until skin is browned then flip and throw in the oven to finish it off. Turned out great.

The last of the http://straightrazorpalace.com/plate...ml#post1726077

Needed some Sweet Buttermilk Cornbread to sop it all up


This recipe is almost idiot proof now, I do need to adjust it down just a tiny bit because it is for a 10" Skillet rather than the Wedge pan




Drops right outta the pan every time

The beginnings of a great dinner


Two Top Sirloins, first sprinkled with Garlic and I used a Tenderizer on them..



Then pounded into submission with a Mallet and trimmed the fat..



Marinating in the Gallon bag now




Planning on some Finger Steaks and Country Fried Steaks in the Cast Iron more pics later

While not a true cause and effect it is interesting to think about diet over time.

Folk ate more variety including a wider selection of greens and even organ meats a couple
of generations ago.

Still iron deficiency was a thing +100 years ago but may have other names.

A well seasoned cast iron pan does not add iron to the diet but acidic foods will allow
iron to be leached.

Most importantly a cast iron pan in the hands of a great cook adds great tasting food
to the table and that alone can help.

Then there were the days when leaches and bloodletting were a medical thing... we know
better today.

So just say yes to a cast iron pan...

I agree, Say Yes To Cast Iron.

About the next to last line, Leaches are still in use.

Can't say that I'd like to be the recipient of their special gift but if it were to save a finger or such, what the hell.

For maintaining circulation to save a finger and such leaches are amazing at a number of levels.
Different than bloodletting as a goal but yes cool.

A little cast iron cooking tonight. Did the steak using the Alton Brown method. Must say, it turned out real nice. A little butter on the steak at the end.
