Traditionals and Cast Iron Cookware

[tendog]

I have that same case and I really like it . I have cleaned deer and cooked many a meal with it .

Brought this 10" Lodge back from the dead - the owner had been using it as a dog food dish - outside.

No Before pics, sorry.

Here it is after two seasoning sessions plus a batch of salt pork (fatback):

And here it is after a batch of bacon and eggs:

The Customer was very happy with the results!

Cool old lodge

Cooking up some brinner tonight, and the 6318 is helping out with the meal prep. Nothing fries bacon like cast iron.

I've got a cast-iron pan that's good but since it has a wooden handle I can't put it in the oven for conditioning. Any tips about how I can improve the surface? I wash it only with very hot water(once cool) and never soap. Same with a carbon steel pan from Spain, only that does have metal handles.

Some simple but simply great meals being shown here

Thanks, Will

I've had some success in just heating the pan on the stove burner with oil in it until it starts to smoke evenly, and using a wad of paper towels to get the sides... It makes the house stink, but maybe you could do it outdoors on a grill?

Wild Willie Thanks, I live alone most of the time...so smoking out the place is not too bad as I can open the terrace door and air out

You're very welcome, that's my go to technique for touch ups in between actual seasoning sessions.

Wild Willie is a wise man full of good advise. But just one tip, when you put the pan on the heat, leave it on low for a while, it helps open the pores up, then put your oil in and wipe it around and rev it up.

I do heat mine on medium/lowish heat, good call cudgee I should have specified that.

I never doubted you, i thought it must have been an oversight.

Fixed a bacon, egg, and raisin toast breakfast this morning (and a pot of coffee) for me and my wife. Been carrying this Schrade USA 93OT Wrangler for the last two weeks (carried a 34OT Jackknife one day) - like a cast iron pan, the old Schrade really can do everything I need out of a pocketknife.
