Haven't pulled my Lodge Deep Skillet out in quite awhile (I normally use it for cooking wild birds in rice & gravy and haven't bird hunted in a long time). At any rate it browned my venison just fine for a venison stew I put together this morning. We have our little grandson for the weekend so I cut the stew chunks real small to ensure no choking. Boy LOVES to eat (anything!) OH

Decided on Super Bowl Patty-Melts, carrying the Battle-Axe Premium Stockman today. OH

Came home from a day in the woods, my wife requested pancakes for supper (surprised me, she is usually very healthy in her food choices). Had some fresh blueberries, so dinner was quick and easy. OH

This is my Wagner Ware 1401 A:

I have used it almost every day for over a year. Last Christmas one of my kids got me this:

Game changer! Wagner Ware 1401C.
Now I use both pieces nearly every day.

This combination is sometimes called a chicken cooker. I use both separately as frying pans and together as a Dutch oven. It's so versatile and useful.

I bought a modern version made by Lodge 15 or so years ago - love the combination. Especially good for things like simmering quail or pheasant in rice & mushroom gravy. The Lodge has a very shallow lid/skillet and I don't use it except as a lid, have other standard size skillets (like your Wagner lid) that work better. OH

I'm sure i am preaching to the converted here, you have been using Cast Iron cookware long enough to know all the tricks. Just make sure you dry any cast Iron that you have been simmering food in properly. The condensation formed is the enemy of Cast Iron cookware, not trying to sound like a smart ---- just don't want to see anyone's beautiful broken in implements ruined. Have a good weekend everyone.

After washing I dump out the rinse water then put the pan on a hot burner for a minute so the remaining moisture evaporates. Then a little peanut oil rub. Afterwards I usually just leave the clean pan on the stove because I use it so often.

Good advice is always appreciated, even if it is a reminder of what you already know (but forgot!). OH

The other day I saw this Wagner Drip Drop Dutch oven at the thrift store. It dates to the 1920s to 1930s. The lid design is supposed to baste while roasting. I haven’t decided yet what my first dish will be with this.
