Traditionals and Cast Iron Cookware

[Wild Willie]

Still down waiting for parts so we can get back to work, so I grabbed the last of the suet from my parents place this morning to do another batch of tallow. Used my Singing ULU! From David Mary to break everything down for the Dutch oven.

Those are both Lookers for sure. My oldest pieces are dated from 1939-57. I'd like to get more, but I need more pans like I need more knives.

Add guns and fishing gear and you can count me in too!

 

[Old Hunter]

Nonless very cool looking deep skillet and very nice handles on your Case Knife. OH

 

[Wild Willie]

Yeah, I gave up on the gun thing a while back. I've got everything I'll ever need as far as that goes. My fishing gear could use a bit of an update, but I haven't done much of that for several years either.

How many of you clean your cast irons with soap?

You only need to make cornbread once in the same pan you previously used to fry fish to see the wisdom in washing your CI with soap.

Same reasoning why I make pineapple upside down cake in my bacon pan. But yes wash your cast iron people.

Lodge's web site does say to wash your cast iron with a little dish soap.

How many of you clean your cast irons with soap?

Sure do. Scrub clean with a scotch brite, rinse thoroughly with hot water, dry the unit on the stove, then lightly oil with vegetable oil.

Does anyone find cooking hamburger to remove seasoning? My family has always said that cooking hamburgers is a sure fire way to ruin the seasoning, essentially removing it where the burgers were laying.

Start with a cold skillet for hamburgers. Screaming hot for the best steak.

You ain’t got to be a constant gun trader or have a huge collection to be a gun guy. I only have a handful, but try prying that Winchester 94 out of my hands... maybe when they are cold and dead.

You've made my day. Very clever and very, very funny.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy firearms, but the climate being what it is in New York I try to keep stuff on the DL. Not that the county I live in is bad, but one of my neighbors is a retired female state trooper who's favorite hobby is worrying about what I'm up to. My biggest issue is a lack of time at the moment, with 2 young kids and a business that require constant attention.

Snowing and blowing here. I decided to make one of my favorite meals...bacon, eggs and hash browns
I did the best I could to photograph my process...
I start with a cold skillet for the bacon.

I like it crisp and thick..

For clean up I had the skillet hot and used a scrub brush and very hot water to get the gunk cleaned up.

Heated up the skillet and oiled it to get it ready for the hash browns and eggs.

Now it's ready for me. Yummmm
