+ | what should I cook in my cast iron pan<br><br>Due in large part to this question about homefries, I finally bought a cast iron skillet last Christmas. It's a 10" preseasoned Lodge.<br><br>So far I've made homefries, hashbrowns, and cornbread. I also know that lots of people make pineapple upsidedown cake in a cast iron pan.<br><br>For a couple of months, though, the skillet has been severely neglected. What other foods or recipes take on a new level of awesomeness when prepared in cast iron?<br><br>Very few caveats: I hate eggs, and no beef. I'm also sort of looking for things that are exceptionally yummy when cooked in cast iron, like the homefries question, not general stuff like "you can cook anything in it."<br><br>posted by peep to food drink (39 answers total) 80 users marked this as a favorite<br><br>Well, my vote was going to be for cornbread, but you've already taken that one.<br><br>Thought I've not had it in years and years (because I know it is very bad for my insides), bologna is especially good after being fried in a cast iron skillet. Especially the kind you have to slice first.<br><br>My tongue is practically jumping from my mouth just thinking about it.<br><br>posted by stuboo at 10:39 AM on May 1, 2008<br><br>sizzle up some chicken, then peppers and onions, for fajitas.<br><br>posted by notsnot at 10:40 AM on May 1, 2008<br><br>Dutch baby! Makes me want to buy a cast iron pan just to try it.<br><br>posted by moonshine at 10:40 AM on May 1, 2008 [4 favorites]<br><br>Blackberry grunt is a tasty dessert with a funny name.<br><br>posted by Cool Papa Bell at 10:40 AM on May 1,Burberry Galaxy S5 Case, 2008<br><br>I'm thinkin' steak counts as beef.<br><br>Asparagus is good in a cast iron pan toss the asparagus with some olive oil, salt, pepper, and some lemon juice before you put it in the hot pan.<br><br>Grilled cheese is also made better when cooked in cast iron (raclette is my favorite cheese for grilled cheese).<br><br>posted by foodgeek at 10:47 AM on May 1, 2008 [1 favorite]<br><br>Bacon, then anything else. like a fork, a shoe, or a possum. Things cooked in bacon grease in a cast iron pan are delicious.<br><br>posted by mbatch at 10:50 AM on May 1, 2008 [1 favorite]<br><br>Trout or bass, especially if you've caught it yourself.<br><br>Bacon cooks well in cast iron. Then you can cook the fish in the bacon grease.<br><br>posted by bondcliff at 10:51 AM on May 1, 2008<br><br>Seconding dutch baby. My kids would eat it every day.<br><br>posted by GuyZero at 10:52 AM on May 1, 2008<br><br>Spinach is good sauteed quickly in a skillet with garlic and olive oil (or if you have some and you're feeling decadent, a smidge of duck fat).<br><br>DEFINITELY make the pineapple upside down cake. The one in Rose Levy Beranbaum's (Berenbaum?) The Cake Bible is my favorite ever. |
