Enjoying BigO's rib-eye steaks from the grill. 12 years later, and my mouth still waters. That was one generous guy and family when ours was in need.

FINALLY fixing a pot of ham and beans that my wife didn't bitch about!

Is there anything that I've ever made that just blew my mind? I can't really remember anything. Only my lasagna, and really, there's nothing special there.

Seville orange glazed Cornish hens with raisin, shallot, walnut and whisky stuffing.

And think, it was ten years later before I even knew. It was just kicking back, breaking bread and having the joy of the company of good friends.

Every cook enjoys an appreciative audience. The amount of praise was more than worth the effort.

Gr

What method did you use ???

here is what I have been doing...

If you have the guts to strip cast iron all the way down to metal , I haven't....

but , this method makes for a very hard non-stick (in cast iron terms) coating...

rather than type it all out ...

follow this link

I have done this on 2 , and it worked fantastic , super nice black color and non-stick....

i even was able to cook eggs...

I dont treat cast iron very well , so , I have to redo the seasoning often...

in all honesty , it isn't me , I cant get the girlfriend not to keep cast iron washing with soap and water... she is slowly coming around...

I done did it by a lot of time, and using a fair amount of olive oil. chops seared in an olive oil/butter combo helps

I am told flaxseed oil is the oil of choice for seasoning iron

I have also heard the soap/water thing isn't the end of the world either

If you get a food, solid coating, it shouldn't hurt to soap off a burnt bit of cheese.

No metal implements, scrape before cleaning, and don't use the thing to steam vegetables.

I've never really gotten a good season.

I really love my porcelain cast iron Dutch oven.
