Cast Iron

Thats my problem too. Ive told her 10k times not to cook past medium with non sticks. And not to run them through the dishwasher. Ive since started choosing my battles.

they are hardheaded , they can't help it , there mama was a woman too!!

There are 2 of us that cook. One is a "dragger". It is far more harmonious to tell her the cast iron is bad for the stove, if you catch my drift.

I am after recovering from the window install, am going to install a gas stove with a tank outside..I have missed gas for far to long..

We have this. It was about half that cost on Amazon if I remember correctly.

Yeah I bought their "Professional" series stainless in 1996 (made in Korea). It has welded handles. It was somewhat expensive at the time if memory serves. I bought a full set of that and a set of Henckels Zwilling Four Star stain-free knives as a gift to myself and because I got tired of using cheap knives and pots. I still use both sets today, 25 years on.

stainless steel wok is the most useful piece of cookware I have

Here you go OP. Get the steamer insert. https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-TP...fct-10&qid=1591300458&sr=8-7&tag=mh0b-20&th=1

Wow, I'm not sure why this is so inexpensive.... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lodge-5-Piece-Seasoned-amp-Enameled-Cast-Iron-Cookware-Set/618435236
You'd normally pay that for JUST the enameled pot.

While I like Lodge, I absolutely *hate* their "pre-seasoned" cast iron. Just a cheap way to cover up bad, porous castings.

First thing I do with a pre-seasoned is to take a paint stripping wheel on my angle grinder and smooth up the pot/pan bottom & corners. Then season with Crisco on my kamado grill. After 3-4 seasonings, it's non-stick & GTG.

Good Info... Thanks

My stash consists of stainless by Viking (USA, Mississippi) and cast iron. I have very little lodge cast. Most pieces are hand me downs and inherited stuff seasoned many many years ago. I know at least one pan I have that is delegated to corn bread was my Great Great Grandma's. It probably got it's seasoning on a coal burning stove.

Cast iron and stainless. Just made eggs and sausage in our cast iron this morning.

Anyone know anything about indoor flat-top grills, like you’d find I a diner? I’d like to get my hands on an electric one. Stainless of course. No non-stick garbage.

Cast iron thats properly seasoned. If you get a new Lodge you should sand it smooth before using. They come so rough now everything will stick. But for the $100+ difference over Butter Pat, Star Gazer etc. Its worth the time to sand down.
