Can be used for self defense in a pinch.

Yeah. It was used in the movie Zombieland as a weapon.

[ - ] Wahaha 5 points 1.3 yearsJan 5, 2024 17:14:32 ago (+5/-0)

It also retains heat longer.

I use cast iron too. Only problem is the weight of it. I’m getting arthritis in my hands and wrists. It hurts to lift the heavy pan or Dutch oven loaded with stuff

Invest in an antique. They're thinner, lighter and just as good. They're harder to find on the west coast of North America because they recycled them all in WW 2, with the japs off shore floating fire balloons into forests and invading Attu and all that.

Seriously, my grandma used cast iron till the end.

When I got married, everyone raved about Calphalon cookware. I really didn't give a fuck, and delegated that decision to the 2nd in command. Fast-forward about 12 years, I was at a store, and happened upon a sale for Lodge Cast Iron. Bought 2 skillets, a rectangular stove top griddle, and dutch oven. Fell in love with it. Now, I'm the cast iron fanboy equivalent of a crackhead... I've bought and restored a number of items. I'm thinking of joining a cast iron addiction support group, but we'd probably all end up at a thrift shop somewhere high-fiving each other like a bunch of idiots.

I asked for a calphalon set for graduation. All my friends thought I was an idiot. Other than the small pan I lost the rest of the set is going on 25 years now and I’ll probably give them to my kids when they’re old enough to cook.

Who’s the idiot now fools?

Of course my daily driver is an extra large cast iron. Wife hates to wash it cause it’s too heavy. I don’t mind cause it’s easier than scrubbing a stainless steel pan.

Let the stainless steel pan look ugly. The cast iron would look ugly if it didn't hide it with the black finish. You don't have to scrub it until it is shiny again.

I love my stainless steel.

Okay, I have a set of cast iron pans that are rusted. How do I get them back to their proper surface? I have 3 different grades of steel wool, but I want to do it quickly and efficiently so I don’t have to do it again.

Depends how bad the rust is... Here are some sample videos for you to consider:

Other cleaning methods are: (Check them out on YouTube)

- Drill & Wire wheel
- Evaporust
- Lye (Oven-off)
- Electrolysis

Okay. But… can you, like, do it for me? I’m that lazy…

[ - ] SteppingRazor 4 points 1.3 yearsJan 5, 2024 14:41:44 ago (+4/-0)

It also works on induction stoves, which is nice

[ - ] Conspirologist [op] 1 point 1.3 yearsJan 5, 2024 15:03:41 ago (+3/-2)

I love cast iron. Since my grand mother used it.

I found that if you cook fish in it, the flavor stays for a long time.

[ - ] Gowithit 2 points 1.3 yearsJan 5, 2024 17:28:14 ago (+2/-0)

You are supposed to have a separate one for fish.

'clean it ???'

[ - ] texasblood -2 points 1.3 yearsJan 5, 2024 22:48:28 ago (+0/-2)

Best learn how to clean then.

[ - ] BoozyB 3 points 1.3 yearsJan 5, 2024 16:01:00 ago (+3/-0)

My only modern piece is Lodge enameled Dutch oven. The other 10-12 pans in my collection are auction or yard sale finds that I've restored.
Two favorites, a fry pan and a griddle are never put away, they just live on the stove. They are used literally every day.

I like stainless

[ - ] texasblood 2 points 1.3 yearsJan 5, 2024 22:51:34 ago (+3/-1)

All we have is 125yr+ cast iron here.
Have a nice set for chuckwagon fire bed cooking at deer camp as well.
Homemade Tallow,Lard and whole butter is all the lubes we use

Cast iron does not have even heat distribution. That is the only downside to cast iron. Even though people claim that Epstein killed himself I find this not to be true at all.

This the way! This is how to wake up the sheep!

All you faggits can jack off on your iron skillets. When you scrape them you end up eating the iron and it accumulates in your tiny brains. That's why Kellogg's puts iron shaving in Corn Flakes, to fuck up your kids IQ. Read the book Dumping Iron. That's why donating blood 4x yearly extends life, it lowers serum ferritin. Same as bitches menstrual bleeding, they look young and fuckable till they stop dumping iron, they they slam into the wall. Your welcome.

The wall doesnt exist.

What was the point he was trying to make

[ - ] Gowithit 2 points 1.3 yearsJan 6, 2024 12:03:33 ago (+2/-0)

That any and all food should come from safe little pouches delivered to you by big government. @nibnab

Really, it sounded like the crazy homeless guy I saw last week outside my local Publix.
