Worst cookware

Now I'm going to show my ignorance - Is Alton Brown the guy on Good Eats???

They were probably first called red onions by the produce guy in some grocery store who was color blind - as a lot of men are. At least us women know the difference between, beige, off-white, winter white, and tan. Why else would be need all those different shoes???

Yep kitchenelf, Alton is the Good Eats guy.
You're probably right about the onion thing too.
Seems like if a guy can actually tell one color from another, he paints, and they call him gifted and a great artist.

I have purchased some cast iron cookware from Amazon.com at very reasonable prices. If you spend $25, shipping is free. I use my cast iron skillets and grill pan very often and really love them.

Find a Herter's or Campora (sp?) catalog. They carry partically every piece of cast iron ever made. I use to live in Podunk - pop 2200 - & every yard sale had some cast iron for sale - cheap!!

I thought fried chicken and fish HAD to be fried in a cast iron skillet to be "southern fried". LOL I love mine and bought a cheap one at a close out place similiar to "Big Lots". I should look for a bigger one as I am cooking for two now.( men eat alot)

The disadvantage of a small town is that they do not have all the best stores. The advantage is that most Saturdays there are several yard and estate sales or auctions within walking distance. I would try these sales first. Most CI comes in sets or a box lot for less than you would pay for an individual pan from Lodge, and it will have a machined finish. Try to find US made items. The foreign made ones generally are inferior. I always clean out the old gunk and start over as I like to know just what the pan was last used for. Cooking beans n/ham and cornbread in anthing other than CI in the south, if not a crime, certainly frowned upon.

Nothing like a burger and fried onions in the "black". Or when camping/outdoor cooking, bacon and eggs.
