Cast Iron Beckerheads, Sound Off!

SWMBO got me an Emberlit and a Lodge cast iron skillet for my birthday. I finally got a chance to use it tonight.
OMG!!!

 
Not a bad birthday right there. Looks delicious too.

It was the best steak I've had in a long time. Kansas City strip and asparagus in Tillamook salted butter. Yum!!!
 
Oh yea, T-Bone Time tonight!

That bad boy was so good that I may do it again tomorrow night.
 
Picked up a Lodge double dutch oven with wedding gift cards. 5 qt dutch oven and the lid converts to a 10" skillet. Can't wait to get it seasoned and then over some coals.

Made buttermilk fried chicken last night. The chicken was moist, and the skin/breading was crunchy and delicious, but even with a tablespoon of garlic power, onion powder, and cayenne pepper, it seemed to need more flavor. Given the mess of oil all over the stuff, I don't think the Mrs. will let me do this again. Oh yeah, I initially tried to put foil down and apparently shorted out the stove, so now one of the burners goes to full bore if we have the heating element in it. So don't put foil down on an electric stove. Doh! :)
 
forgot to post this Friday night.

Dinner by cast iron with a wee dram of cask strength Aberlour single malt scotch

fried up a pound of bacon ends and pieces - for the grease, of course...
sliced up a medium sized tater and a fair sized banana pepper - then fried them in some of the grease
while that was cooking, sliced up a couple of venison inner loins that had been marinading
sauteed the venison in some of the grease, covered with the other half of the combo skillet -- after it was well cooked and the marinade had reduced down, dumped it over the fried taters and inhaled.
 
Bumpage--this is one of my favorite threads in the BK&T sub forum. This was a cool find that I made a few months ago:

This stuff looks really nice, but after looking up pricing... wow!

Nice little Griswold, Eero. This is still one of my favorite threads here and I need to read back a few months.

Since I last posted in here, we've gone pretty much all cast-iron at home. I'm starting to wonder why teflon ever took off.

Pricey, but worth it, I'd say. That handle alone is an innovation that's worth the extra cost! I'm not running out to buy one tomorrow, but the interest is peaked.

I've been moving all cast iron as well. Finding the antique ones as much as possible but using mainly lodges right now. Good to see you around I still use some of your handle liners on one of my knives.

Damn. I know where I'm getting my next pan!
 
Man -

Get addicted to Becker Knives - and now see there's some cast iron junkies here as well . . . This whole forum is going to be dangerous.

My stack of pans waiting for refinishing. All made USA or CANADA . . . the largest, number 11 or 12 I think is a griswold, but the handle had broken at some point and someone welded it back on - Did a very very nice job though! Hopefully this winter I do the refinishing!

The oranges are all Le Crueset / france enamel coated dealies.

Then me cooking my first crisp in the dutch oven - Still a lot to learn.
