Cast Iron

I ordered my first cast iron skillet and 5 qt pot.

Any suggestions or recipes?

Re: Cast Iron

Cast Iron Skillets are perfect for searing steaks. Pat your steak dry and put on some pepper. Put a little olive oil in the pan and crank the heat up. Once the oil shimmers toss that steak in and sear it. Turn the steak, add a little salt to the done side and sear to desired doneness. Take it out and toss a pat of butter on it while it rests. Perfect & juicy. Also.. frittatas are awesome in cast iron skillets. And small roasts! I roast and then remove the meat and use what's in the pan to make my gravy. YUM!

For my un-enameled cast iron pot, I usually do chili or red sauce.
