cobbles, I have a number of naked cast iron pots… the new stuff really sucks. The best CI I have is stuff I picked up on the street, or in country auctions for five bucks. That new Taiwan shit ain’t what it used to be.
Thanks Dent. We did the takeout route for so many years.

Not necessarily just for my man.
I’m really trying this cooking thing. When I have kids, I want the critters to have home cooked meals and say their Mom is a good cook.

That’s the way I feel ET.
I think you should get a meat thermometer. That’s a meat thermometer, not a ruler. You stick it in the chicken thigh, roast, or whatever. Most people overcook meat.
Do I have to workout and get muscles before I try lifting the pan. I never had cast iron pots/pans. I’m thinking of replacing my entire set, but can’t afford it right now.

Don’t bother replacing entire set, Expert, do it a piece at a time, and get a good one each time.
They are a bit heavy, but you get used to it.
LOL! Meat thermometer is key! I learned that the hard way!

cobble, maybe we should do a blowby of ET’s kitchen. Make her feel inadequate. Do you think we could turn it into a reality series?
What, no lardon needles? How could you live like this?
Expert, if you get the cast iron, MAKE SURE to ‘season’ it properly — read the instructions — and read up on care.
If you do it the right way, they are fantastic, if you use tons of soap and scrub it too much, everything will stick and you’ll hate using it.

Raunch hour has begun.
Charlie Rangel just found to have “broken House rules.” I don’t know what this is in reference to yet.

Don’t let him fool you, it’s a plenty big wolf!
Garlic press is great! I have a really old-fashioned one, but it works great.
