Missed this live. Had to work. It was a treat after work to relax and listen. Fun seeing the new rack addition. Always learn something new to me about cast iron history. Hope you have a great time cooking for your friends this weekend.

I admire your collection and deep knowledge of the genre. 😀

Reminds me of the alar (spelling) on apples years ago. Come to find out you needed to eat like 3 bushels a day for a number of years to get cancer from the stuff.

no peer reveiw, no telling...!??!..............................

I don't know but I wouldn't cook with aluminum everyday. Aluminum cook wear is banned in 6 European countries and the UK.

My concern with cooking with cast aluminum is that it is commonly contaminated with lead. Check out lead safe mama. She has a very informative website.

Top avoid those hot oil splatters that you just saw at 0:48 , use a pair of tongs to lay the meat down gently into the oil so avoid burning yourself and risking an oil fire, Also less clean up.

I got a lodge 9 inch wok at Walmart recently on clearance in seasonal bbq section. Im diabetic and off using insulin by cooking all my own food and closely controlling carb/starch intake. Ive really missed rice and asian noodles. Ive found shirataki noodles and some other asian noodles that are lower glycemic. Im so happy to have noodles back. Loving my smaller wok. Have my eye out for the larger wok at the right price. My cast iron itis is a bit more controlled. Finding that Lodge goes on sale periodically in different stores. Wasnt planning on the 9 inch but at $10 it had to come home with me. Its been on my stovetop since it came home and gets used almost daily. Its not been used just for asian.

Can you eat tomato soup with it or does it just run out through the front?

makes an awesome little pie!

I’m so excited to have found this simple method and recipe! Thank you❤

I like this one!!!! Are they still producing this one? I need to buy one

I don't really care too much about the Masons. But I do stop and look anytime I see cast iron ash trays. We have a bunch of the holiday pans made by Lodge. But also lots and lots of the BSR advertising ash trays. True Value, appliance stores, and so on.

I would definitely keep both! You know that!! I would love to have just one! Never knew there was one that big!

use it for BROWNIES!! Nothing but edges!

Actually, BSR when they started the new high production factory about 1966 stopped machine milling the interiors and began selling the pans rough cast like all CI these days. Lodge wasn't first, they just jumped on board. Whether the pan is smooth or rough cast seasoning will stick if it's done properly. Rough casting allows faster production but makes for a lot heavier pan since up to 25% isn't removed from the interior while milling/finishing it.

I saw a video here on KZbin where a woman did test her enameled cast iron Dutch oven for lead and it returned with very alarming results so there is impact lead in enameled cast-iron, which is probably why people want to know if there is lead any regular non-enameled cast iron.

I’ve watched a bunch of your videos, very informative and I appreciate it. Do you have any advice on a National-curved lettering with no star and a heat ring?

1800's or 19th century is indeed ancient were all just getting old my friend lol

You pot stirer, you.... 😅. They are cute.

Use the other as a flattop!!

It fits!

God bless the algorithm

AAAAAAAAA

Cool

Crap I just discovered and subbed to your channel cuz I like the content but with this kind of stuff I will probably have to unsub. I don't agree with banning books but I also don't agree with pushing this agenda either. You can do whatever you want with your channel but political rants will always divide people.

I've always wondered if the engrave in the bottom will create hotspots?

Why wouldn’t vintage pieces that are painted contain lead? Old paint in your house contains lead, makes sense that many painted vintage items would have lead.

Exactly! I tried Himalayan salt, didn't like it. Stick with Kosher salt or just good old plain salt

Don’t trash the natural lard. Thats what makes the carnitas. Cook in the lard then trash.

I love seeing pieces being put together

This is awesome. Gotta get my hubby 1. YeZzzzz, FREE Mason.😂😂😂 They arent fearful neither are we Louisianas for VOODOO. We DON'T participate in such foolery. We're dont advocate devils work. Now i cant speak for da MORE SOUTHERN Louisianans,,, but naaaah, we good ppl, Masons & Southern folk. Ye, he needs 1 for his office at work.

Current production or when?

It may actually be very useful considering my arm strength . I'd prefer lighter weight cast iron. I've been lifting heavy pans and being telling myself considering it daily exercise but sometimes I feel I need a break from the weight

What a great tribute. Where in Binghamton is this statue ?

It goes up to an oven.

Like Sam from Lord of the rings

That's what she said.

Making my first loaf of no knead bread. Its in my dutch oven. House is smelling amazing. Making a pot of hamburger veggie soup to go with the bread with butter. Really pretty frugal meal. Husband said feels like this is food fit for a king. Happy Sunday to all my fellow cast iron enthusiasts!

Well you ARE a cast iron chef .

so how do i know its hot enough for a sear without bruning?

and soon despite our most desperate attempts at moderation it shall totally envelope us all.......ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ahhh..............................

My neighbours are concerned about my cast iron collection. They think it’s responsible for the apt building starting to lean 🤣

Cast ironitis never sleeps. It may lie dormant for short periods, but will always reappear.

Nice video fx!

Word of advice, instead of trying to scoop out the last tomatoes from the can, just add a little water, swirl it around, then dump it in.

Thank you for this helpful video pulling one off the shelf that was bought at a garage sale years ago. How would you alter the set up for just squishing the pits out of say some hawthorn berries? Do you still use the blade? The goal would be to have the purée come through without swishing up breaking up the seeds.
