Traditionals and Cast Iron Cookware

[ZHoovie]

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. View attachment 2872806

Choose carefully on its maiden voyage!!!


All jokes aside, that's an amazing find!

If that was my pan. I'd make homefries, bacon, and eggs for its first use.

Absolutely. Astonishing that with the current trend that everything old is new again combined with the resurgence of cast iron cooking implements that find is amazing. Well done.

I think it is worth the $15 I paid for it.

Happy New Year! Just seared our Pork Tenderloin in the Lodge skillet and shoved it into the oven for another 25 minutes. Got the sweet potatoes backing in the air fryer and the blackeye peas on standby. Just to finish the pork and cut the cornbread. Got an Ulster 58OT helping me today.

BE peas, greens & cornbread (We will have ham this time). Mandatory. I grow and grind my own corn for the bread. A little different this year: bok choy instead of collards, turnip and mustard greens. A wonderful new year and beyond to all of you!

 

[Old Hunter]

Happy New Year to you guys too!

Today’s biscuit ham and Monday’s pot roast. Old kitchen knife we’ve had since 1977 (wedding gift) and my favorite Case 18 EDC. That pot roast was righteous!

Re seasoning a couple of pans to fill in a lazy Sunday. .

The importance of doing a re-season occasionally. Spent yesterday doing my 2 fry pans. Cooked some fried eggs in one this morning. Slid around like they were on glass, this is why they last forever, unlike non stick pans which last a couple of years at best. As Cowboy kent Rollins once said, the family will fight over a Cast Iron pan in the will but couldn't care less about a teflon pan. Have a good week.

Do you re-season them on the stove top or in the oven? I have tried doing it on the stove, but eggs still seem to stick.

A tutorial or maybe a good link to a tutorial would be nice. I think there are a lot of different methods and opinions out there.

Oven. Warm it up on the stove top but don't let it get too hot. Rub whatever oil/coating you use all over it then place it in a pre heated oven at about 420 degrees on a middle rack upside down for one hour. . I take at least 30 minutes to pre heat the oven and place a tray underneath to catch any oil that drips. Turn off the oven after an hour and let it go cold. I do this 3 times but only grease the inside cooking part for the last 2 not the outside as well. It takes time but is worth the effort.
