Foodies BS Thread.

You're quite welcome

I will add this: My grandma rarely 'washed' hers. She did the salt-paper towel clean. That pan is slicker than owl shit.

But I tried this and I just can't do it. I don't know if I'm just too anal, or what the case is. But I can't not wash the thing after it has food on it.

 

The salt works to do a few things. First it cleans the pan, acts a scouring agent. Secondly it fills in the tiny pits in the metal making it slick and non-stick. It also helps the oil from turning, think of it as curing the pan. I like to rub a salt an oil mixture into the pan while it's still hot then put it back on the heat an cook it on then another rub after it is off and it's ready for next time.

 

Lard if you got it, shortening if you don't, veg oil if you must, as a last resort

 

Cheapo skillet pizza!

 

Nothing wrong with frozen pizzas!! ^^^

 

Not frozen, but the crust was a bag mix. Just a quickie dinner for the family tonight.

 

Thanks for the idea, made baked pork chops with apples and onions last night. I was great, doubling the amount of apples next time.

 

So on Fri night i took two of my new cast iron pans and started to season them... Since they were new out of the box, i did a quick wash with light soap and scrubby. then dried and rubed with veg oil.... then went to dinner... came home and really worked on them... by cooking a pack of bacon in them and of course i saved the bacon grease...





I also made a "quick" chili so i had lunch for work the next day.

 

Looks good Mike! ^^^

 

MMMMM BACON! I have a hankering for some corned beef. May be a crock pot kind of day.

 

Anybody have a good recipe for crab cakes. I made some last night and they sucked. Ended up throwing them away.

 

It was the OM Extra Thick Cut... i have an other pack in the freezer to cook up to...

 

Crab, egg, mayo and old bay are all I use in mine.

 

Lunch!

 

What is that? It looks good!

 

I'm with y'all on the crock pot day idea.

I've got my famous sausage, peppers and onions percolatin' away at home on the counter as we speak.

Can't wait to get home, the whole bloody house smells positively amazing...sausage, peppery goodness, that thick, sweet onion saute smell...

*drool

 

Hot ham and provolone cheese on a homemade onion and cheddar roll.

 

I love me some onion rolls for sadwiches!

 

That sounds soooooo good... and im not a huge fan of sausage but eat them every now and then... R you going to do a write up on this? I would like to see how you cook it...

 

So like I said above i started seasoning 2 of my cast iron pans... but now, I cant think of what i should cook in it... i was thinking mayb burgers one night since im out of charcoal. and sugestions?
