Where are all the CI cookers???

[Slacker]

Who enjoys their old family cast iron or CI cooking in general? Think it's making a comeback myself. Post some pics!!!!! Also I enjoy collecting Lodge cast iron with the different logo's of companies on the bottom of their skillets, if you have any to sell let me know also....Thanks

Keep on trying it, always go back to our non stick cookware.

Use it at the house and at the campsite.

I got some old Le Creuset too but to be honest I like the bare cast iron better.

It's all we use unless we are cooking something tomato based, like a soup or spaghetti sauce.

No pics, but we have a LeCreuset 8" deep fry pan, an 8" skillet, and a 4.8L Dutch oven. Our range is a glass cooktop, so we have to use enameled cast iron. All our pieces were bought deeply discounted at various outlet stores.

Have glass top as well. Use regular cast iron pans on it for years without any problems.

do any of those pans you use on a glass top have fire rings?

my ceramic top is a schott ceran top and you have to watch out for serious scratches. our stove has a frosted top and my wife used a scrub pad and removed some of the frosting before. i read somewhere that Lodge test kitchens use ceramic top ranges to test on with no problems.

Most of mine have heat rings on bottom. I you have a special type stove top I'd be careful too. I'm sure you could call Lodge, they have great customer service.

Love using CI

Love cast iron. I tend to use it more camping than at home but my wife has been using it more lately. Not complaining.

It's all we use. Unless I'm grilling.

Using Lye right now but in the process of getting my E-tank finished. Any E-tank pro's on here who could give me some advice?

I use the basic self-cleaning oven method, except I don't have a self-cleaning oven. I put them upside down on my gas grill, turn on all four burners, and let them bake for an hour. It turns all the caked-on gunk and old seasoning into grey ash which is easily brushed off. Any that wants to cling, plus any rust, is removed by a good bath in hot water with Dawn dish washing liquid and some steel wool.

Then season it with olive oil or Crisco, very light, at 350 degrees for an hour. It takes about three or four cycles of seasoning before eggs will slide right off.
