Finex, Smithy or Field Company are brands I've looked at. CI don't like the way the finexs look. But that's just me. Here's a dependable review of a bunch of them https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/best-cast-iron-skillet-pan-reviews-article#pre12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lodge has that rough surface that takes years to build up the non-stick thing where as the pricier ones are machined smooth and become non-stick much quicker. I have a sixty year old smooth machined one and it rocks. Nothing wrong with lodge, I use them too but I do notice a big difference. Particularly for searing. There are some interesting videos on youtube about machining your lodges smooth with a grinder. More work than I care to do tho. Just sayin Agreed. It took years for a couple of my Lodge pans to build a good seasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Got a 10 oz. angus sirloin steak on sale at Kroger for $4.14. It's massive. It will be properly marinated and rubbed. I'm going to make a shroom, onion, pepper (mop) smothering for it (smo). Baked potato will have everything. I know, I know, fresh is best...but I'm really partial to Margaret Holmes brand seasoned canned veggies...tonight's choice is lima beans. They're super without any extra work or pans dirtied. I'm starving now just thinking about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zCommander Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 So it is not breakfast anymore or quite lunch so what to eat? The wife was like I think you should make your own breakfast today. So I did lol Hebrew National hot dogs omelette served on soft tortilla lightly browned on each side. I couldn't find the shredded cheese so went with half a slice on each. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make their own sausages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great. Personally, I don't like taking my tablet into the kitchen. So I'll get it in book form. It's where I got the shrimp with lobster sauce and following the recipe faithfully (except for the wine, I used sherry) it tastes great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get small loaf pans and make a few and then freeze them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 That's why I only buy meat if I see something really good on sale. I always have side items. And the steak the other night was 2 meals (I warmed up the second half in foil really slow in the toaster oven. ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell Green Fan Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Finally got around to buying a sous vide machine or whatever you call it. I think I'll just use a basic Food Lion steak so we can compare. With this weather it's grilling weather, although like most I grill all year.

LadySkinsFan Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 So I got the ingredients for the cornbread enchiladas, ground beef, sweet peppers, mild enchilada sauce, onions, frozen corn, capers. The corn, diced onion, and capers will go in the cornbread mix. I got yellow and white cornbread mix because my pan is large. It's for the weekend because I go to my six month doctor check and blood draw on Friday morning. Can't wait to try it out! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love food and am a stay at home mom of 5. I live in Utah and my husband wont let me have friends, so I fill my days by writing extremely long intros to super basic recipes like ‘how to make pickles’ and ‘oven baked chicken for mormons’.

I so love it. It’s ****ing infuriating because when I was in college (in WV), my good friend went hunting constantly and we had a literally overflowing supply of venison. It was breakfast, lunch, dinner and “get home a 3 am drunk AF” provisions. IT WAS LITERALLY FREE. Now, the only place I can get it in Nova is a high end butcher and it’s $29.99/lb. Like ****ing wagyu beef prices. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
