unclevlad Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 MMM. Haven't seen heart in a while, altho I haven't really looked. Used to make chili with ground heart. Pretty sure the only things I've done with heart are stews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Hey, the kid was honest. He liked it...but he wouldn't have paid the price. Which I get. He re-seasoned that pan multiple times; at that point, functionally, there won't be any difference between it and a Lodge or Victoria. And for $160, I can get...with a little searching...my fajita pan, comal (griddle) pan, and a 10 or 12 inch carbon steel skillet. (For higher heat, carbon steel works better, IMO. You don't have to baby it when cleaning, and with higher heat, that's more of an issue. And it's a LOT lighter and therefore easier to handle. I have a 12" square griddle with wide, sloped sides that I use regularly; it can hold 3 standard-size (4x4) slices or 2 large-size slices, plus 2 eggs (in egg rings), a 1/3 pound burger patty, or the like. (Lunch was, in fact, a pan-grilled egg and cheese sandwich.) The only downside? That pan's heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it at the local restaurant supply shop. But with the short handle, it's unbalanced. Lodge is by far the most widely distributed brand. Bed Bath and Beyond has a Wall of Iron. Sportsman's Warehouse has it too, since it's good for camp cooking. Got my carbon steel pan there. Target and IIRC Wal-Mart have it. Victoria seasons a bit easier, and I prefer their handles a bit more, but we're not talking big differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Our cast iron skillet is a literal heirloom from my wife's family. I don't know its origins, other than it's a Griswold, and they folded in 1957. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria seasons a bit easier, and I prefer their handles a bit more, but we're not talking big differences. Being unbalanced isn't always a problem. Back in the early 90s, my wife worked at a cutlery store in an outlet mall here in Vegas that sold Lodge cast iron pans. One day, a man groped her as she was rearranging the stock, and she "accidentally" swung a Lodge cast iron pan as she turned around, apologized, and proceeded to "accidentally" hit him a few more times in sensitive places. He decided to stumble out of the store before any more "accidents" happened. Matt the Bruins, Pariah and Cygnia 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 The duck is in the bag getting properly lacquered. The first butternut squash was roasted over the weekend; made soup with some of it last night. Yum. Still have a second. The thought of roasting the seeds? I may still do it but it's hardly worthwhile. Got maybe a tablespoon of seeds from the first one. Cygnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt the Bruins Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 I don't have a cast iron pan any more, but I'd feel a lot more confident about using my 12" nonstick skillet as a weapon than any of the knives in my kitchen.

Barefoot is America's most loved wine???? Red wine and chocolate isn't bad....but I'd prefer chocolate and dark beer. And chocolate more real than anything from Oreo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
