Well, I guess I know what you have been doing the last 20 minutes. Foundling CI and posting tantalizing pictures. NOW PUT SOME FOOD IN IT!

Isn't there some ritual where I have to pee in it, boil it, then BURN an onion, then burry it in the back yard for 4-1/2 days.... sleep with it one night, freeze it, then 450º for 4 hours.. or some shit?

Naw, just heat it hot on the bbq, slap a big hunk of beef or pork in it, turn the heat of the bbq down and let 'er cook!


But if you choose to do the previosly posted method, just let me know ....and we'll be conveniently "busy" that night.... :sick:

where's geeme when you need her?
 
Drunks?.... In Kitchenware?.... Who-the... What-the...




OVER HERE!!! Yeah! Liquor, Knives, and the HEARSE! (Even Drunks gotta buy their shit sum wherr)!
 
So, being new to CI, Is it ok to use metal utensils? like, when I make Mole, I stand there whisking for about 10 minutes... dumb questions but.... duh, so am I.
 
I saw Scovie's new CI today and he needs to post a picture with cans or bottles so everyone can really understand how big that thang is!

sicman, don't know if you go sale-ing or not..(as in garage SALE-ING :lol: ) but keep an eye out for any CI in thrift stores or where ever. It it's all rusted and beat up, get them down on the price to like $1..... cuz you know you can re-season any CI back to perfection with just a couple cooks.
;)




and yes, Scovie, you can use a whisk. It'll wear out the whisk before it'll wear out the pan. :)
 
If this thing is about cast iron and cooking I'm all about it! I got some old hand-me-downs as well. I don't know the entire bloodline, but they were my grandfathers and he never bought anything so I am sure that they were handed down to him...So what is this TD all about? Never done one???
 
no cast iron throwdown yet, that's a different topic. This is all about Cast Iron cookware and how we love and use it.

Cool that you have some hand-me-downs, my mom has some really old and well-seasoned ci ...... Our family's had to deal with some estate situations, and I've always thought...."take the pearls and rings....if I could choose something, I'd want the CI...."
 
Yeah...one of mine was in bad shape when I got it...half the seasoning had flaked off. I threw it the the campfire and left it till all the old seasoning had flaked off. Then started over. Now its the best nonstick I own!

EXACTLY!!!! if someone has never owned/cooked with a good CI, they'll never understand....................




it's like we have our own secret cookware society!



edit- do we need to create a secret hand shake or something????? :lol:

just when I think I'm with the "IN" crowd............. geeked again......

OK here it is...pay attention. The hands should come together at the webbing between the thumb and forefinger (not the just lightly holding the other person's fingertips crap) Grasp firmly and give a generous but not overzealous shake while looking the other person in the eye and exchanging a friendly greeting (all the while you're really sizing the other person up making sure they're not an impostor) Once these criteria are met you can be certain that they are CIRCLE (Cast Iron Really Cooks Literally Everything) members...
