Cast iron appreciation thread

[Mr.CPHo]

One of my favorite "set it and forget it" cooks, carnitas: pork shoulder, sweet peppers, jalapeños, onions, garlic, S&P, EVOO in a Lodge Dutch oven indirect for 6 hours, and then uncovered and moved over direct to reduce the liquid for about an hour.  Once all the liquid is reduced the pork begins to fry in its own oil and begins to crisp around the edges.  Served with black beans and rice and then froze the remainder in 1lb portions.  Love my Lodge and Craycort cast iron!

I was a little too slow to get something like that up in Rockford.  A "Little Chef" cast iron barbeque of some sort.  Wish I had at least saved all the pics, but here is one.

FYI, Right now Lodge has free shipping and also $10 off $50 or more if you sign up for their newsletter.  I've been holding out for one of their new carbon steel skillets and this promotion made me pull the trigger.

Hard choice, but landed on the 12" skillet which was $40, added a couple silicone handles to get over $50.  I am very excited.

The surface starts out rough but quickly becomes very smooth from use.  I did not alter my surfaces or strip them. I just used the pans. You'll love it.

Talk about making some breakfast in style. Bluetiful for sure.

I'd kill for a full size griddle like this one! I'm on the hunt for one of those or a 1425.

Looks awesome 🤙

Showing some love for the @craycort GA griddle which I bought a couple years ago and never got around to using.  I warmed up some pulled pork for a sandwich with some mashed potatoes in the basement. 

First off, I regret buying only one side instead of two.  I like that the elongated slot for the lifter tool is large enough to accommodate the older GA's slanted lid hooks.  The regular cast iron craycort grates are not a good fit for the vintage GA's because the hooks impede the lid from a tight fit.  The griddle does not have that problem. 

This particular accessory is not porcelain-enameled, but the factory seasoning was fine, no sticking at all.  The flat griddle side has raised lips around the grease drip holes whereas the grill side does not.  I'm not sure whether that difference was intentional or not, but I'm using an old genesis drip tray to catching drippings when using the grill side. 

I think craycort is onto something with this accessory.  Sweet little add-on to increase the GA's already versatile repertoire.  A GA-specific vegetable wok insert would be pretty sweet too. 

Thanks for looking.

Wow Charlie!  Top notch cook as always. I started drooling. I'm starving now.
