11" Lodge Griddle Pan

Nice crispy hash browns and an easy to clean pan after what is there not to like

My friend, yours look so much better than the YouTube Guy's--his were burnt not just crispy!

You wait!----------------------You'll be using a lot of that vintage heritage cast iron next summer!!! That is as long as my ride plans work out

Better bring the Lipitor Roy......I cook old school like my Mom and Gramma.

No worries here my friend,

Today I used the Wagner chicken fryer. Lightly drizzled the inside with bacon drippings and then loaded it with some meaty beef short ribs seasoned with granulated garlic, granulated onion, coarse ground black pepper, coarse ground Celtic sea salt. Popped it in the oven at 300* for two hours. They came out super tender and juicy. Served up with a baked potato smothered in sour cream and creamed cauliflower.

Still snowing so we figured warm comfort food was called for

10: Lodge Skillet
Simple Chicken Pot Pie

Sooooo Easy Sooooo Good








The wife and I will be fighting for the leftovers tomorrow heheheh

G-Man.......you cooking with gas yet ??

I just saw a Home Depot Commercial that mentions Samsung at 40% off and the Gas range I want is a Samsung so I might do some hard looking

Haven't tried clarified butter but I will, and I don't rinse them. Have tried that and they seem to lose quite a bit of flavour. I grate them and then squeeze out as much moisture and starch as possible in a clean tea towel or cheese cloth. Onion, plenty of fresh ground pepper, a bit of salt. Yum yum.

Was hunting for something completely different when I spied these out the back of the local op shop.





Not bad for 50 cents each. The one on the left is a no name and pretty rough cast, might try re-surface it when I get time. The one on the right is made in Taiwan, and actually pretty well made. Has been milled, and cleaned up very nice with a bit of wet and dry. Didn't have any olive oil left, so used rice bran oil to season. Hmm, not sure. Doesn't look quite right but will persist and see how it goes. If not, will strip again.

Graeme, does the handle on the left unscrew? Just wondering as I've never seen a cast iron pan with a handle like that.

I used the Griswold to make eggs in a hole this morning and fried bacon in the Wagner.
