I have a grill pan with holes in it. I use it for veggies mostly to get a better grill taste on them.
Also found an old Wagner skillet outside, looks like it's been out there for years. I don't think I can salvage it any more than I have.

I've got a BSR cornbread skillet that was my grandmothers.  It's marked pat pending - 1st year production.     Gotta love Granny's skillet biscuits with chocolate gravy.   The lodge 17" is perfect for frying on the kettle. And the lodge 12" fits the GBS perfectly.

I have a new found appreciation for my cast iron. Normally when I make oven roasted chicken pieces over sweet potatoes, I do it like this with chicken thighs in a cast iron pan, but leg quarters were on sale at the store which changed the shape of things. Laying them out in a row fit better except that didn't work out with a round pan.

The substitute I decided to use was a heavy Pyrex lasagne pan figuring the weight of the glass would give it similar heating properties. It didn't. The chicken pieces on the top came out fine as usual but the sweet potatoes didn't roast up the same way at all. They were underdone. I now appreciate the unique heating properties of cast iron from having experienced the difference between materials first hand more than I did before.

Just a run of the mill lodge.  I bought it new 16 years ago.  Many a meal on and off the grill. And of course the oven..

nothing like cornbread in a skillet, ever try cornbread on the grill? adds a nice new flavor profile
Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

My one year old 12" lodge is my favorite piece.

Happy birthday!  That steak looks perfect. Did you keep it on the stove top the whole time or did you utilize the oven any?

I haven't attempted steak on the stove yet.

I've used cast iron for years. My first was a 10" Lodge, the the Lodge Dutch Oven, then like Weberitis you get the itch.


Now for the best YouTube I've watched on CI
