85° today and 93° guess summer is here. Before hybrid corns used to say it should be knee high by the 4th of July. Last 20-30 years it is usually shoulder high by the 4th. This year it will be lucky to make the knees, what is still in the ground anyhow.

InReach Mini Must have been ~1981 I took the ferry from Bremerton to Seattle to pay my $5 to join the REI Co-op. Seems like they are everywhere now.

WUT?! Well done but more times than not when I have a salad it gets grilled too.



Even avocado gets grilled

I have gotten spoiled by the meat at Costco. I need to put the cooler in the truck and head there today or tomorrow.

I have the Lodge cast iron wok and haven't even used it yet except to season it. I think it is time.

Just a guess Kevin but I don't think your boiler is a closed loop system anymore. Just saying Good luck!

 

Never used anything cast iron besides a cast iron pan or flat pan. I've never used a wok either.

 

It’s just a pipe with holes in it

 

ROTFLMAO !!!!!!

 

yum!

 

My Dad and the gates to our Heaven! Awesome much needed mental recharge! Have a great evening all!

 

Have a fun and relaxing weekend !!

 

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.

$50 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
