Traditionals and Cast Iron Cookware

[Wild Willie]

Mayhaps a change in title is in order... Traditionals, Cast Iron Cookware, and Random Self Sufficiency Excercises?



Nah...

My son-in-law fixed chicken parmesan for dinner last night using two skillets. First he sautéed the chicken then added the sauce and cheese and baked it. Delicious! Could be cut with a butter knife. Maggie the beagle approved. OH
Ps. I gave him one of the Lodge skillets last year - Ben is putting them to good use.

That looks excellent.

 

[Reaper AL]

That is one of my favorites

This is also one of the greatest things about most cast iron, the ability to go from stove top to oven and back without worry.

Just received this smithy 12” griddle that doubles as a lid for my 12” skillet. Made grilled cheese with it tonight and worked perfect. used the moose to cut the grilled cheese

That Smithey line looks to be very good quality.

Yes I am impressed with the quality of both the skillet and griddle. I also like the thought that went into the design that the griddle also serves as a top to my skillet. I have had field and stargazer also that were gifted to my children because they wanted to start cast iron cooking. After owning those 3 companies smithey is my choice hands down.

I have several pieces of black iron cookware that I have used for decades, but I also have an enameled cast iron 'dutch' oven from LeCreuset and it is magnificent.

Just received a Christmas gift that blew me away, arriving today from Reaper AL here on Blade Forums, a No.12 Smithey Ironware skillet like his. First time I have ever handled one, the workmanship is incredible, I cannot wait to get it seasoned and cooking. I'm sure it will star in my future cooking endeavors that I post here. The icing on the cake is having "OLD HUNTER" engraved on the base. Thank you Al for such a magnificent gift, it is old school exquisite! OH

Wow, it looks magnificent. Great gesture, and yes we expect photos. Photos of the seasoning process so we can all get involved.

Christmas morning here and just had some breakfast, spicy fried onions and egg on toast, magnificent. Forgot to take a photo, the smell of spicy onions on Cast Iron distracted me. Have a safe and Merry Christmas all fellow Cast Iron aficionados.

Frying some sausage for a frittata in the smithey skillet and used the griddle as a cover to help sauté the peppers and then into the oven to finish baking it. I am loving this skillet
