I Am Addicted To Cast Iron Cookware

[PIP]

Alright boys, I gotta an issue !!

I have recently developed a thing for cast iron… Like I dove into the deep end…Picked up some vintage pieces — comparing and contrasting to modern stuff…

Weather it’s skillets or Dutch ovens or just pots —- I got it bad…

Any other cast iron fans here ?

Pineapple upside down cake.

Steaks. Sous vide then sear.

Frittatas. (Not to be confused with “Free ta-tas”).

Cornbread.

Cast iron is awesome.

Dice potatoes and roast a whole chicken over them, you won’t regret it.

My air fryer cooks did better than any of my cast iron stuff ever did. Including steak. Fight me.

How do you cook pineapple upside down cake in an air fryer.

I’m a big fan of air fryers, although my steam oven is even better. Steam oven for thanksgiving leftovers and it tastes fresh, hot and moist like — never mind.

Yes.

Cast iron is fantastic, as is carbon steel for lighter cookware

@2 For The Brew is correct.

@macbdog should get banned.

Induction top makes it crucial.

I found a cast iron pan buried in the yard. Totally rusty. I burned the rust off with acid and seasoned it. Looks great now. Works great

Dude, I just got the most fantastic way to cook. Microwave! It is so amazingly fast.

I use a cast iron pan for when I make pizza. I've gone through different pans, screens, and stones for pizza but a cast iron pan seems to give me the best results for the time and effort it takes.

I have two cast iron pans. One was passed down on my wife's side. It unfortunately always smells a little like fried catfish, so I'm choosey with using it.

The other is a square and one year old. I like the fact I'm the only person in the household strong enough to use them, establishing my dominance over the family. They may need to start doing more pushups and I need to sear more steaks.

You cook pizza in your air fryer too?

Right, I think I could make a very close version of Pizza huts pan pizza if I got the sauce right while using a cast iron pan. I also think I could make a equally close version of Papa John's pizza with a pizza screen and if I figured out the cheese and sauce.

I've made a very close version of Donato's pizza but I think I need a pan with holes in it vs just using a screen.

I like a pizza using a stone but waiting the 30 minutes to an hour for the stone to absorb enough heat is just annoying.
