    Default Cast Iron - Anything

    How many have replaced all SS and Teflon cookware with Cast Iron? Have you replaced your grill with cast iron (with the craze of reverse sear). I've tried it and like it. Not sure I will continue to reverse sear everything but it's dang good.

    I have several really old pieces that have been fantastic. When I moved a few years ago, I had an old dutch oven that I trashed. Looking back it was a bad move. At that point, I was looking at cleaning out. I replaced that pot this week and it got my interest in cast iron cooking.

    So...what do you do with your cast iron?

    My first in my new dutch oven was a decent perlo. Not my best by any means but it ate well on a cold night.

    Recipes and pictures are welcome.

    I have an old Griswold #9 that is my cornbread and biscuit skillet.

    Also have two cast iron fry pots that have fried two million pounds of turkey nuggets and fish.

    I have a 12" and an 8" dutch oven I use for camping and outdoor cooking when the mood strikes. I can put the main course in the 12 and nest the 8 with either some sort of bread or desert in it. Stackin' dutch ovens while backwoods camping is as ballin' as it gets.

    .
    do a river float trip, and cook you some fresh caught fish right on the river bank in an old cast iron skillet.

    That's what I'm talking about.

    I cant count the number of times I cooked on the banks of the Congaree. It wasn't always fresh fish but it was always good.

    My wife is allowed to cook in my cast iron, but she is not allowed to clean it.

    Little bit of everything. I have a few pieces of new Lodge, but the old iron is better in just about every way, plus it's nostalgic.

    I have a Griswold #8 myself that belonged to my grandmother. It was her cornbread pan as well.

    Does anyone make waffles in old cast iron. That intrigues me.

    Switched all of ours out when we put in gas stove three years ago. We use nothing but cast iron now, skillets, Dutch ovens, roasting pans, griddles etc.

    One aside, my wife's iron levels, which have historically been low, are now well within healthy levels.

    Went on a fishing trip last year and woke up one morning to a pan full of eggs. Guy just kept cracking them over the skillet till it was full. Let them all fry together. It was fantastic. Your skillet could have used about 4-6 more eggs for that.
