Better than Apple..His wife is a food scientist. She made chick pea salad and a trifle Monday, loaded with fruits.
I just ate.

(63 posts)You've got some good looking skillets there. 🤗
BaronChocula
(2,086 posts)Their surface was smooth as silk. I asked my mother where she got them and she recalled Montgomery Ward. Mine are from Lodge and the seasoning gets pitted, but they do work like a charm.
True Blue American
(18,096 posts)The bottom of the pan is never smooth and impossible to clean. I am going to try just one of the ceramic to see how they are.
BaronChocula
(2,086 posts)Just out of curiosity.
Woodwizard
(940 posts)I have several, one was in the scrap metal pile at our transfer station perfect ratio of mass without being too heavy. Cast is all I use unless I am boiling pasta water.
My most used is my 14" cast wok.

(2,086 posts)Nothing. There MAY have been numbers stamped on the bottom. I can't recall. If I didn't have my own set I would have taken them after my parents passed. They went to one of my grabby sisters.

Then again, he "allegedly" puts his penis into couch cushions,
which most people would also think to be a 'bad thing'
((Hey, I know it was just a meme----
but most people think that he probably DID, regardless!))
hahahahaha

(1,992 posts)My guy does almost all of the cooking and he LOVES his cast iron! If I ever washed one with soap I think he'd leave me with the skillets in tow, lol.
ratchiweenie
(7,830 posts)wash them any way I want and they are still perfect. My mom washed hers with soap for 70 years. I have to keep telling him to back off. They are my skillets and they are great.

IronLionZion
(46,598 posts)owns several homes but none of them are mobile,
never used the "outside fridge" in winter for drinks (I steal jobs from racist idiots and I grew up using the outside fridge as a brown Appalachian-American)
doesn't know how to snap and string beans
spread margarine on his biscuits
has actual cookies in the Royal Dansk tin at his house
There's tons more online if you google JD Vance memes

(4,255 posts)I saw the My cousin Vinnie movie.
The Prosecutor asked an older woman if she was cooking instandt grits....
She really laid into him in the court room.

(1,691 posts)Oh, I wish that I could find that particular meme! Instead, here is an article which spotlights the shared norm of finding sewing supplies in the iconic blue container.
It is one of those experiences that people can bond over in countless countries. Sort of like being able to give a simple answer like, " a sunny day", or "the laughter of children" or even, "my first cup of coffee in the morning" when someone asks you, "What makes you smile?"
J.D. Vance, however, takes the question as a personal attack. I could understand it if he were the lonely widower from Up. But, damn, J.D., you're a freaken' politician! Try harder! Even Bernie Sanders know how to weave a little levity into his general mien of curmudgeon-ness. Any when Bernie does get riled up, it's over important things, such as how economic policies affect people's lives.
(Also, future historians will discover that the first person to store sewing supplies in Royal Dansk cookie tins was Bernie Sanders' mother. )
IronLionZion
(46,598 posts)I'm not convinced there are cookies inside. I don't remember ever eating those cookies but we had the tins somehow, filled with sewing supplies and other small items. And so did everyone else's mom. It's good to reuse things instead of tossing in garbage.
Collimator
(1,691 posts). . . of how or when the cookies get eaten. But the tins serve humankind proudly.
Wait! I just thought of another Vance/Walz comparison!
Vance is the cookies; Walz is the tin.

CTyankee
(64,485 posts)My days of shaking my raw chicken in a bag of flour seasoned with pepper and salt and frying said chicken in Crisco were over; I had to give it up when I moved North. I also had to give up eating boiled okra (slime and all) as it nauseated my husband. And no to black eyed peas on New Years day for good luck.
You just can't put a properly seasoned cast iron skillet in a dishwasher, it defeats the whole purpose of seasoning it in the first place!

(18,096 posts)They tell me fried okra is delicious, I never tried to find out after my MIL DESCRIBED IT.
In Southern Ohio I ate mangoes until I went to Tennessee, found out they were sweet. Now I eat green peppers.

(256 posts)(for people not raised by Southerners, this is a sin. You cook with bacon grease. Use it to season pinto beans, and green beans, make corn bread with it, and so on. As well as cooking your eggs in it.)
ArkansasDemocrat1
(2,486 posts)Seems to both be tougher than veggie shortening or canola type oil and it cooks better with little or no sticking.
And yes, eggs, beans, cornbread, green beans, etc all get a little help from bacon drippings. I even make gravy with it.
True Blue American
(18,096 posts)This generation cooks them 4 minutes. They are raw.
canetoad
(17,768 posts)LOL at that. Good one K&R.
Jack Valentino
(286 posts)but no dishwasher....
However, I recall reading advice about never putting your cast-iron skillet in the dishwasher
(although I don't recall the reason)

(940 posts)Looks like a lodge plenty of metal on them, if pitted a metal flap wheel in a angle grinder will polish it smooth.
Season with canola oil.

(23,559 posts)to make cornbread.. Anyone so stupid as to put a cast iron skillet in the dishwasher.. should have their drivers license revoked.. they do not have good decision making skills and are a danger to others..
