Senior Cook
Hi folks, new guy here. Am I the only one who loves cast iron cookware? I have 6 pieces I use all the time. I buy Griswold when I find it, restore and season it, and give it to friends. My 12 inch Lodge skillet, Black Betty, never leaves the stove. She, and my 5 quart Lodge Dutch Oven were in use making a big mess of Southern fried chicken last weekend.
I find it interesting that the cooking shows always push expensive cookware, but people like Alton Brown say if they had only one piece of cookware, it would be a 12 inch cast iron skillet. Lodge 12 inch sells at Farm and Fleet for less than $20 and will last 100 years.
Hope I'm not the only nut.
