Cast Iron Skillet

Well my new favorite item is the cast iron skillet.  I had saw some recipes that call for it and I knew people that swear bye them.  So I ran across my Aunt Kris's recipe for skillet cornbread and thought wow that would be so good with chili.  So off I went in search of a cast iron skillet.  Found one I really liked at Meijers.  I love it.  It is very heavy.
Came home and washed it and them made the corn bread.  Wow, was it great.  Thank you Aunt Kris!! It really is good.
Next is the apple pie you make in a skillet.  Yum.

Hey Amy...glad you are trying baking/cooking with a cast iron skillet. I recommend after each use NOT to wash it the conventional way. Cast iron will eventually rust and you will take away the 'seasoning'. Google "cast iron maintenance" and you will find good recommendations. Here's what I do: after each use throw approximately 2 T of kosher salt in the skillet and scrape away any food residue with a small plastic scraper (an old credit card will do) then after that re-season with more EVOO or vegetable oil. Store it in a clean dry place. How did your corn bread turn out? Good luck with the apple pie too....would love to hear how they turn out.

Hard to beat a good cast iron skillet. And as time goes on, cooking with them only gets better. I love to cook Steak Au Poivre in mine. Enjoyed reading your blog.
