If I didn't own a nice grill I might give a poo poo but I can cook a steak perfectly drunk as hell so why else do I need a cast iron

All meats should be grilled unless they are breaded tbh.

I feel like you're drawing a false dichotomy between grilling and frying where there's no such thing as a nice easy shallow fry

teflon causes cancer maybe just use stainless steel with a copper core to hold the heat and clean it well :smug:

I'll be shucky darned just don't let it get hotter than 500 degrees and it is safe. Totally worth the risk to avoid using a loving scrub brush http://www.webmd.com/cancer/features/teflon-pans

Uh no you need to season it every time so food doesn't stick, and strip the grease with hot water and steel wool every time you cook meat.

What in the gently caress are you doing on your cast iron? They're loving great, but they don't replace non-stick teflon pans. You should cook poo poo like steak, bacon, and simple chicken on it, sauces and stuff make it messy as poo poo, just use dried spices like cayenne or salt.

I had no idea the pan was a meme though, I've just got the emeril one.

Yeah it's always been pretty easy for me. I use pretty much all cast iron but I do have a couple of those ceramic coated pans or whatever. If you want a non-stick pan I think those are far better than teflon.

Bear breaks into house, attacks, but resident attacks back. Local animal rights groups outraged.

VICTORIA, BC (PRWEB) May 26, 2004 -- In an attempt to get a free meal, what was described as a "very large" bear broke into the rural homestead of a BC college student, who was home on vacation at the time. The student, who would only give his name as Ryan, says, "I had just grilled out some salmon and walked back into the dining room to eat. Just as I had just sat down, it sounded at though someone was trying to break down my door." As Ryan went to investigate, the door burst open and the gaping maw of a northern Kodiak bear appeared inside his living room. Ryan recalls, "It was the scariest moment of my life, right up there with the fishing accident in Sasketoon when I was twelve."

As the bear forced it's way into the dining room area, the beast found the grilled salmon it had smelled from what authorities estimated was over a mile away, where they found the bear's tracks around a small cave. Ryan tried shouting at the bear to get it to leave, but the bear seemed to be intent on the salmon it was feasting on.

Ryan then proceeded to throw various kitchen utensials at the bear to get it's attention. "I wasn't sure what I was going to do," he said. "After I hit the bear in the head with a wooden spoon, the bear started coming after me!" The would-be bear snack ran to the other side of the kitchen counter as the bear raised up on it's hind legs and tried swatting at him. "The bear was blocking my way to my room where I actually have a gun, so I found the only thing I had that I did not throw at him, my frying pan." he relates. "I picked up the frying pan and shouted, bring it on, bring it on!" Ryan jumped over the counter and started swinging the frying pan. The animal, estimated at six feet tall on all fours and over eight hundred pounds, got back on all fours and started to charge the young man. When the bear was about 1 foot away from him, Ryan swung the cast iron frying pan and hit the bear on the right side of its head. "The bear appeared to be dazed, so I just kept pounding him with the frying pan."

"After I hit the bear about fifteen times, the bear fell to the floor, but I dared not let up. I hit him for about another five minutes until he was not moving at all," Ryan says. Only then did he take the time to call for local law enforcement. "When the police showed up, they could not believed what they saw."

"It was the craziest thing I've ever seen," said Officer F. Barnes, of the Victoria crime scene investigation unit. "He actually killed a bear with a frying pan." The local wildlife officer showed up and took measurements of the bear, one of the largest involved in a home invasion incident in recent memory.

The bear caused about $400 dollars in damage to the house. There is no word on what became of the animal's body, but local animal rights activists are filing to take posession of the bear's remains, claiming it was an immoral act of killing, and Ryan should not be allowed to make a bearskin rug out of it. Darcy Morris, president of the local chapter of Animal Rights Abuse Watch (ARAW), says, "This young man should be prosecuted, not praised. The bear was simply following his natural instincts, and had this Ryan criminal left it alone, no harm would have been done. It's disgusting, and he can expect to hear from our lawyers." Ryan's attorney could not be reached for comment.

you absolutely can use soap on a cast iron pan. i wash mine w/ soap p much every time i use it and the seasoning is still beautiful glossy black. if soap makes your seasoning come off you didn't do it right

cast iron is literally easier to maintain than teflon, you can jab it with whatever cooking utensils you want without accidentally scraping carcinogenic flakes into your food

I mainly like my cast iron skillet because I bought it for $15 at wal-mart when I moved to Oklahoma ten years ago and it's a better pan today than it was when i bought it

I have to throw out my teflon pans every other loving year

Don't ever read the cast iron thread in GWS. Goons there like to strip and re-season their pans daily after cooking a single egg in them, then wonder why their pans aren't building up the seasoning our grandmother's pans have. IT'S BECAUSE YOU KEEP STRIPPING THE OG SEASONING.

Leave the seasoning alone and COOK. MORE. BACON.

Bacon can go on the grill.

Best grill meats are plump, succulent sausage, honey-smoked bacon, and glistening, sizzling

The second part of the meme is to get a brand new pre-seasoned Lodge pan (which are still good pans right from the factory) when you can't find an old Griswold or Wagner Ware pan for cheap anywhere...

...and strip the seasoning from the pan because you think the pre-seasoning isn't good enough. Bonus points if you take a Dremel or grinder of some sort to the cooking surface because old pans used to machine the cooking surface smooth, and you don't want your friends to think you're a cast iron poser with a new Lodge pan, do you?.
