iron

I recently bought this skillet from Lidl. I seasoned it by heating it with oil, salt and an onion. It started looking like this after the first time I used it, I cleaned it with a rag, tried washing it but couldn't get rid of the burnt look. The second time I used it, the food that was in the...

Easy right / Well until this; I do not want it backened. You know how they are all black ? Cast iron doesot ook ikethat, I have worked in foudries and can tell you this with authority. What I want is bare cast iron. A friend of mine had one and it cooked great. It is like the heat transfer is...

Hello All, We have recently installed an induction hob (from a 5 burner gas). We have found that although we have a flat-bottomed wok and it does heat up very quickly because it is only heating the bottom area, we have found it takes longer to cook as the sides do not get any heat. Does anyone...

Saw a Lodge cast iron pizza pan and I’m thinking I’m going to buy it. I currently use a ceramic. Any thoughts ?

Hi guys, I'm planning to soon invest in various cast iron pans and have a few questions before I buy: - Are there any specifics to look for? I'm planning on buying a non-coated one that I'll season myself before first use, is there anything particular I need to consider before buying? - Do...

Until recently, I've never got on well with enameled cast iron cook ware. My friend has a set of Le Creuset and I use that quite a lot when I stay with him. I find it is a bit heavy for me as I have arthritic wrists. However, as I've become more experienced as a cook I've grown to rather enjoy...

Copied from another thread: I have seasoned a cast iron pan and a wok in the past. However, I did check on the net and the consensus appears to be "coat with a thin layer of vegetable oil and place in the oven upside down at 200 degC for 30 minutes. Then do it again and again, and again". I...

On another food Forum :eek: there is currently a recipe challenge for which the theme is 'cooked in cast iron cookware' - this includes enamelled cast iron such as Le Creuset. I usually enter that recipe challenge (call me a traitor!) but this time round I can't. I haven't got any cast iron...

Hi Folks, I just registered here. I'll do an "introduction" post, but wanted to get this question out there. I've always loved cooking with woks and have spent many years searching for the perfect one (I have several). I recently found a cast iron wok in a "junk store" and grabbed it. It's...

I am the type of person who tries to have everything in moderation but have recently noticed that I am more tired. I have been eating a lot more fruit ever since the hot weather started and have not been craving seafood or any kind of heavier food. I later found out that I am lacking iron and my...
