I picked this out for part of my birthday present from my parents. I have always wanted a cast iron skillet... but I am so intimidated by it now! I don't know why. I have been busy looking up tips to care for her and cook with her. I have seasoned her once in the oven with some shortening but I have yet to cook with her.
I hope you will leave me some recipes/links/tips to help me get over this fear. :)
Here are a few I plan on trying soon...
Breakfast potatoes (so basic and yummy...but I wonder if they are even better in an iron skillet!!??)
Help! Do you cook with a cast iron skillet? Do you use it daily or just for special recipes?

SaWEET! We just got one too, and I too am afraid of it. Mostly because of my phobia about cleaniness, and you most definitely are not supposed to WASH it. :-P Shh, don't tell, but I DO use a soft sponge with just a SMIDGE of dish soap. I just can't not. LOL Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI don't have one, but my mom has my grandma's and the thing she makes the most in it is fried potatoes. A little it of oil, some onion and some sliced potato, and they are soooo good! Sorry, I am not much more help than that.
