    Cast iron

    Holy cow! This thread got me thinking about the cast iron I inherited so I looked and of the 3 pans I have the smallest one which is around 8 or 9 inches is a Griswold. You can just barely see the name and numbers through the build up. I guess I happened on a rather worthy hand me down. And it...

    Which type of charcoal?

    I use an old big coffee can and some lighter fluid. The idea is to stack the coals if you use fluid and when you use the can you can use less fluid and get a good light since the coals are stacked and held tight. Just load the can and spray some fluid and wait a minute. Then throw a match and in...

    Why Do Restaurants Use Cheap Looking Pans?

    I don’t know CP but maybe it is like everyone else has said and that is because in a restaurant they cook 40 or 50 dishes a night while at home you only cook 1. And when you cook that one you have all the time in the world while the restaurant has a few minutes and aluminum is fast to heat up...

    Grilling can be harmful

    Well really anything can kill you. Too much water which is often called hyperhydration can cause hallucinations and even death. I read an article not long ago about a radio station that did a gig where you drank as much water as possible without going to the restroom so you had to hold it. One...

    Why Do Restaurants Use Cheap Looking Pans?

    Living just outside Hogansville Georgia with a whopping population of 2700, the internet has made things a lot bigger. Thanks!

    Why Do Restaurants Use Cheap Looking Pans?

    Oh its slang? LOL. Well I feel dumb now. Why does ghetto mean rundown? Did the Jews live in rundown places? I remember in history class about the Jews being forced to live on the outskirts of town and in concentration camps during the war but I do not remember it being called a ghetto. Forgive...

    Chinese Pork Ribs

    If it helps the brand is Camp Chef. My girlfriend is getting it for me as a reward for fixing her car. It is unreal what mechanics charge for something as simple as changing a starter! ;)

    Why Do Restaurants Use Cheap Looking Pans?

    What do you mean by ghetto? I looked it up in the dictionary and it says it is a part of the city where Jews were forced to live? Are you talking about Jewish or kosher cookware?

    What does ISO mean?

    It means: I Saw One As in the poster saw the recipe being made. Just kidding. :) It really means: In Search Of As in the person is looking for something. If you see TNT Tried N True As in they know it is good. They list these and a few others in the welcome email you get...

    What's a good substitute for Bacon?

    My girlfriend’s mom is vegetarian and she eats vegetarian bacon for breakfast. I have not tried it yet and I have no idea how it will cook up if you use it but her mom loves it with eggs and toast and on BLTs. http://www.lightlife.com/smokey.html

    Chinese Pork Ribs

    Another question. What about the seasoning on the lid where the charcoal will lay. Do you have to do anything special to the top of the lid since charcoal lays on top of it directly?

    What's a good substitute for Bacon?

    I would think in this case where you want to wrap a chicken breast or a beef filet in bacon that there is no substitute. You will probably need to try a different recipe since turkey bacon is too lean and will not hold up to this kind of cooking very well. Maybe if you coated the turkey bacon...

    Chinese Pork Ribs

    I am getting a preseasoned dutch oven this weekend and this will be the first thing I make since it looks so good. I was wondering if you have to do anything special to a preseasoned dutch oven. The description says it is ready to cook. Do I need to wash it first with soap and water? I heard...

    Canning green beans question

    That is not safe! The pressure cooker has a higher temperature that will kill the botulism bacteria. Water bath canning is only good for foods high in acids like tomatoes. The acid and 212 degree temperature of boiling water is enough for high acid foods. For low acid foods you have to have...

    Can I make crab cakes without fresh crabmeat?

    Crabcakes from canned crabmeat can be really good or really bad. You need to get good crabmeat. The best canned meat will be “jumbo lump meat “or just “lump meat”. Avoid “white crabmeat” and never get “pink crab meat”. The jumbo lump and lump from starkist and geisha are both really good. Geisha...
