Iron dutch is also pretty great for stews and braising, always use it when I make oxtails and beef shanks. Works well for the few times a year I make pane rustica also

Cast iron is the best to make some delicious eggs on!

I don't fry at all. Sometimes I use mine for baking bread or a kind of Brassica Manchurian.

Does anyone here have experience with stargazer cast iron pans? They seem good for the price, or should I just go all out and get a finex?

Burgers for me, anon. Got that perfect brown crust on my meat that stainless fags struggle so hard with. And all that was needed was hot water and a paper towel to clean it.

Might as well get a stainless steel if you're willing to spend money on Paper Towels and seasoning work. I have one and it's great for the occasional searing of meat but I don't need it.

Yerp. It's good stuff. Bear in mind that his intention is to create a lighter cast iron. If you want absolute unit cast iron for heat retention, look elsewhere. His castings are good, though. If he does not like the result, he stops production and sales and finds someone else to make it work. That said, if you are in it for the memes, his stuff, though lighter, has at least a similar retention to Lodge, and it is much better quality. If you are going for cheapest serviceable cast iron, Lodge works fine in the US. I am not sure about other countries, as I would imagine shipping and government scams change things.

When I'm about to cook with one, the first thing I do is put it on the stove and begin to heat it. Sometimes hotter than I want to get it really getting hot.

[Anonymous No.12653275]

>>12652081
I will often place it on the stove and start preheating on medium to high heat until oil is just barely smoking while I complete other food preparation, by then the pan is ready to cook on. I want to also mention that I use an induction stove.

it weighs the same as almost all the other cast irons. Your post is fucking retarded and nothing on the website mentions weight savings

might just be my imagination, but food cooked in my cast iron tastes better.

I bought a cast iron grill pan. How the hell am I supposed to clean this thing after cooking?

[Anonymous No.12656172]

>>12656127
first of all throw it away, only good for searing meat and literally nothing else
but I would take the course side of a regular sponge under the hot tap to get off any food gunk. each sponge will last you like 2-3 cookings/cleanings

[Anonymous No.12656409]

>>12656172
See, I was always under the impression that you weren't supposed to clean cast iron with water or sponges, and you were just supposed to wipe it off with a towel/paper towel. I've never owned cast iron cookware before, but I wanted a grill pan, and this cast iron was way cheaper than one of the stovetop covering ones that you see on TV.

[Anonymous No.12656420]

>>12656409
nigger what
yes you use water and a sponge. soap is debatable, i personally opt not to use it. just make sure you get all the moisture off before you store it or it'll rust (speaking from experience)
i put mine back on the stove or into the oven to dry off before storage

[Anonymous No.12656437]

>nigger what
I don't know, I vaguely remember hearing that somewhere; probably here on /ck/, actually. I thought it was like teapots, which I had also heard you're never meant to wash.

Great for making rib eyes in the oven.

[Anonymous No.12656555]

>>12656437
Not the other anon, but soap pulls out the fat that soaks into the pan and seasons it. You CAN use soap, but you'll have to re-season the pan each time. So, I hit it with a bit of steel wool or rough scrubber, and if I'm worried, I'll rub some oil into it and cook it for a few minutes in the oven at 500°. Typically just scrub it out, though.

For the purists, I'll clean it with soap if I don't know when I'll use it for something different; I don't like my cobblers to taste like fajitas, personal failing. Old habit from when I only had one pan. Now I've got a full set for the kitchen, and a set for camping, so I don't have to do that anymore.

[Anonymous No.12656873]

Forgive me, but I am poorfag. Is it worth getting a pre seasoned iron skillet? I've read that even though they are pre seasoned you still need to season them before use. I also do not have an oven so I can't season a skillet that way.
