Yeah I use my cast iron pans all the time. And 40 lb. cast iron high wall griddle when cooking for a crowd



My Jenn Air stove has a wok as part of the system, lived here almost 20 years and never used it. Can't imagine electric can get it hot enough. Had the Lodge wok for 2 years and have only ever seasoned it



With the Vortex I can get it really hot the way it is meant to be used. Still have high temp oil for it but not sure it is even good anymore. Maybe later next week I will give it a try.

$70 Lodge BOLD 14" Seasoned Cast Iron Wok; Design-Forward Cookware

1,540 reviews on Amazon and 4.6 out of 5. Guess someone thinks they work well. But I normally cook low and slow only time I do hot and fast is searing steak or pork chops. Might have to learn something new, that was my original intent. 2 years later still haven't though.

 

I was wondering about that. I find cast iron likes slow and steady, or at least I have better success with slow and steady unless I'm using some kind of oil, lard or meat with a higher fat content. I think one of the things that make a disc easy to use is the curve is a lot flatter than a wok and can cook up on the sides. I've seen some street vendor videos where a guy was cooking either half or smaller whole potatoes in oil in the bottom then slowly adding vegetables and meats higher up occasionally splashing the stuff on the sides with the oil. It was pretty cool to watch.

 

Is the griddle a separate unit?

 

Yes it is however Cabelas Bass Pro no longer sells it. Another great item that is no longer made since the merger

 

Did some digging and it looks like it is made by Carolina Cooker and is sold through Agri Supply. $58 but calculating shipping to my place is $35. It is a heavy beast.

 

Lap Cat !!!!

 

Evening All!

Apparently I missed the Jalapeno that was ready. My wife picked a couple more tomatoes too. We need to make some salsa before we head to Colorado next week.

 

I have one of those too. This is Kashmir. He is our other cat. He responds to Buddy.

 

Ah, a 3 hour nap.

And I would lose them in the car engine

 

Enjoy you peace and quit. it always works for me. just gettin in the mtns. does it for me. good company of your father is icing on the cake

 

your loss so you will need to find them.
On your dime for parts.
Your free labor.
Your pocket for rental.

Shall I continue???

 

Your car engine

 

Not mine.
Off limits to all

Fellas and Ladies, 2004 taco prerunner has a low rumbling sound when coming to a stop, more low speed. 114,000 miles. Original u-joints. Recently installed a new carrier bearing. It had same sound before carrier bearing install. During c/b install I worked the u- joints by hand, they seemed fine.
Thoughts?
