Mmmmm. Looks good, wife’s been buggin me for some salmon or orange ruffy. Grape seed oil?

Yep, Grape Seed Oil and Alvacado Oil have the highest heat points. Meaning they are less likely to burn what your cooking.

and a pad of Butter on the salmon after its cooked.

So since it's Freezing cold outside (it's 60 degrees!) I decided to forgo the Blackstone and use the pan tonight.

HLAM! Blue Cheese steak! Never made it before. I thought it tasted great.

I think I figured out what he talking about here.. Strippers taste like fish? Or Smell like fish???
Something to that effect.

As the saying goes, once you get passed the smell, you got it licked.

And I havent even had a bourbon yet.

for those who havent figured it out yet. the OP was referencing Stripers, which is a fish, but spelled it wrong… This is a Striper.

And a reference to a stripper

My buddy raises beef as a hobby so I bought a cow from him. I couldn't tell you what "temp", I go by touch. Not even sure we have a meat thermometer it turned med rare.

Where do you keep your strippers? My wife keeps finding mine.

The only strippers I know how to deal with are in my tool box.

Yes, I've had them at 2 places, Famous Dave's and somewhere else but man do they make me fart

Definitely.
Most of the CGs you are going to get a restaurant has been cooked long before they hit your plate. They tend to be mushy and not the best tasting.
We make ours right before we eat them.
Cook down a pound of bacon in the cast iron skillet.
Pull the bacon, dice it up and put in back in the grease, add some finely chopped onions and add some brown sugar and red pepper flakes.
Get it all combined and hot, throw in the CGs and cover.
Let them wilt down and stir to cover in grease mix. Do a couple times and done.
Serve right away.
So good all my grandkids even eat them.
Try to pick good looking leaves and don’t forget to cut the stems out.
Dang good

Ever do the same thing with fresh spinach? Seems like that would be a winner as well.

Chicken fried steak tonight and bake potatoes. With left over sausage gravy from biscuits and gravy yesterday.

I’ve got nothing ‘Cast Iron Cooking’ to contribute, as I SUCK at all things cast iron.
But …. Since I ‘Weld’ most of my cooks to my cast iron skillets … I’ve found these work excellent at cleaning my cast iron.

Stainless Steel Chain Mail wash clothes.
They also work killer for cleaning BBQ Grill grates… I just use warm water & it knocks off everything nice & clean w/o scratching or removing the seasoning.

I just spray out my cast with cold warm water and a soft cloth if needed. And as for the bbq I use a ball of aluminum foil. But these will work well on the bbq if I can find some. Do you know where I can get some?

This one's made by a company called "Ergonow' . . . China I'm sure.
I got both I think for around $15.
Cool thing is if it gets janky, you can boil it or soak it in bleach & it's GTG.

Just wondering where you're going wrong at?

Start with the basics-
Country potatoes:
Peel dice and boil potatoes until tender. (15 minutes) Drain.
Get cast iron hot, with your favorite oil, 1 tsp. Add potatoes, salt and pepper, timer for 4 minutes. Flip/stir.
4 more minutes. Flip/stir. Maybe another tsp of oil.
4 more minutes.
Potatoes are ready.

Bacon or sausage is easy peazy too.

Dan'l

 

[rivermobster]

Flax Seed oil.

My cast iron pan is slicker than some of my non stick pans now.

Don't burn your food, and you won't need that bra and panty set!
