This was really good. FYI the steak is dark due to the rub. It was actually rare as desired inside.
I also a cast iron fan. I have couple old grizwald pans of my grandfathers I use quite often. I also use my Dutch ovens a lot too. Only reason I use my fire place is to cook with the Dutch ovens. The wife and kids have been on a peach cobbler kick lately last week I made venison stew and apple crisp. This week was chicken and dumplings and peach cobbler
Action shot!

Eggs and Swiss for breakfast. I have a pork roast in the Dutch oven right now. Seasoned and put a sear on after lunch then put about a liter of 7up in for liquid and have it cooking at 225. Should be ready around bedtime.

I have a nice set of irons but unfortunately I have a glass top electric stove and I haven't used them in about 8 years. They dont heat evenly on the glass top and I cant justify installing a propane cook stove at the moment.
Everything I read says the flax seed leaves the best surface also but I've never tried. It seems like it would be worth building a few base coats with the flax and then finish it with a few rounds of your choice oil. The science behind it says it's because the flax fat polymerizes and has more of the polymers in it than say olive oil. It would be interesting to watch America's Test Kitchen do a cook study and season 5 different pans with 5 different things and see how much better it really is. They could do flax, olive oil, veg oil, coconut oil, butter/shortening.

You could switch to steel pans. You season and use them just like cast but they are soft enough so they will not scratch your garnet stove. DeBuyer is a good brand.

I just found a Griswold 866/867 in the barn.
Flax oil works very well on cast. It gives a nice black finish that looks just like black paint. Unfortunately, it also tastes just like paint but I will probably use it on the lamb. Not too sure what to do with the mold.

I've started amassing some steel or 'black steel' pans as well. Lighter and less brittle but still lifetime worthy and can go stove top to oven no problem. Good stuff.
looks good svk! ~ I believe you!!
j/k... little doubt in my mind, was perfect. what I liked best though... those big garlics. nice.
I plan on one of my big portabellas today as I grill up this USDA Prime NY strip... was going to use a slider pan, but now will use one of my cast iron fry pans.you inspired me! lol
ps: stay warm!
hi mh - I use mine for heat! lol... but my outdoor unit I often cook with. I have some cast DO's, but don't use them too much. more so, the pans...
ah-h, warms a body on a cold day...
planning on some soon, too. gave neighbor bud of mine some yard eggs... day later he showed up at front door with a shopping bag...
the contents:
always liked hash n eggs! that should start off a cold morning with plenty of energy...
hope u get to use them soon Marshy - could try them over charcoal, fire... or maybe even and electric element. u know, those that are independent and u plug them in. not sure how hot the pan would get, maybe not as hot as over gas... but surely hot enuff for some...
hash n eggs, or eggs n cheese!
