@ geeme & sicmanCast Iron- look for pieces in thrift stores and garage sales.
BORROW from someone! I did that twice. Borrowed a dutch oven from my neighbor, totally rusted up and nasty. Seasoned it all up good and sent it back to her. Couple months later I needed it again, so I sent looking for it where I left it on her back porch. O'Course, the pan was gone (she's prolly using it now that I got it all seasoned up for her...
) but I did find another one, rusty and nasty as the first one, out in the garage. Now she has 2 well seasoned Dutch Ovens.
Dood, no tater tots in Peruvian. Just sayin......
No but there is Papa a la Huancaína which is even better! I love Peruvian, eat it once every couple weeks. Lots of Ají Amarillo.
can't we wait on peruvian until my charapita is fruiting? For me, peruvian just isn't happening unless there's a criolla on the side and that requires charapita (at least around Iquitos, where I was last summer)...
CI sounds great. Like sicman I've got seasoned shit. all old Griswolds and Wagners--AWESOME seasoned shit.

My wife said that about a sexytime position I wanted to try.
I have yet to do bread in the CI dutch, but I think it's time. Anyone have any NEED TO KNOW advice on that?
(BTW, I have a killer sourdough starter that has been alive since August, hope to throw it in)
also...
Watch out for SUM on this one. He's a master of all things Cast Iron.
He did a 3-story charcoal dutch oven masterpiece for a different throwdown.
Included poppers, boliche (stewed beef), and a pineapple upside down cake.
Can't wait to see how he tops that!
No way he can go 5 story, right? That'd be a sure winner!
(sum, go get 2 more, you got this!!!)
Any pot bread recipe will work. If you're looking for a good one, let me know and I'll pm the recipe.
What?!! What do you make your cornbread in?
Im down for some cast cooking. If I can follow the instructions correctly lol
A few weeks ago I headed into the basement do to try to fix a "water" issue. And in a dark corner hanging on an old nail I noticed something. Covered in cobwebs, was a cast iron pan.(I live in a 300+ year old house) I brought it upstairs and brushed off the webs, and a lot of old flaking seasoning. What I had really noticed was the distinctive circle, and cross on the back. It had to be a griswold. After much cleaning and slow "chipping" at the pan removing old carbon, I go the bottom of the pan clear enough to read.
before.
After chipping and cleaning, plus 1 layer of seasoning.
It's a griswold likely owned by my great grand mother on my fathers side. It's been in the basement un-used for at a minimum of 60+ years.

And this is only beginning of the cast iron items I have received in the last few weeks. Very little of which is "new".

Oh yea. Duh.
I meant I've never used the cast iron DUTCH OVEN to make a LOAF of bread.
G-hook a brutha up with that recipe if it's handy! Thanks!!!
