I made blackened salmon tonight. Stovetop to oven, baby! The greatest.

The only time I bother to pre-heat my cast iron in the oven is when I plan on using the oven anyway, e.g. sear meat on the stovetop then finish it in the oven. Otherwise it feels like a giant waste of power to heat an entire oven just for a stovetop dish.

Rule of thumb: if you wouldn't put it in your food, don't put it on your pan. Try taking steel wool or sandpaper to it and see if you can take off the rust. After that, just oil down the parts that were rusty (and are now rust-free) and pop it in the oven to re-season it, or just cook something in oil with it. Honestly, though, if the rust isn't that bad (i.e. surface-level, just a tinge of rusty red) just cook with it a few times and it'll fix itself.

Paper With Lines posted:Here is a six minute commercial for whiskey and a 300 dollar () cast iron pan. Cool video, cool folks, cool process. Sure, always get paid for your work, especially with all the effort they put into their process. But it's just a slab of iron we're cooking on here, not designer unobtainium. Sheesh.

Christmas two years ago netted me my first cast iron pan, and to go with it my parents got me a bag of cornmeal, some Crisco, and a cornbread recipe. Those were parts one and two of a three-part gift. Part three was a fire extinguisher. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys." I actually asked for it, living without one in the kitchen always made me uneasy.

Go for filet mignon, wrap the sides in bacon, and use the same sear-and-bake process as you would for a steak and revel in its delicious versatility.

Huh, I always did that last, never thought to try doing it first. Does it make that much of a difference?
