Brewman 1,192 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Evenins' Looking at investing in a cast iron skillet pan and wondering if anyone has any experience and would they recommend them. Cheers Brewman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Get it nice and hot. Make sure the meat isn't cold from the fridge. Oil the meat/fish NOT the pan and only turn the meat once, Brewie. Tuck in, son !! (I'm f***ing starving,now!) Edited February 13, 2014 by Blackbriar 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yep. All the above from Blackbriar, also don't forget to season the pan best non stick you will ever have. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shepp 2,285 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I bought one of these a few months back, cooks better than any pan I have used before. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lodge-L8DOL3-Pre-Seasoned-5-Quart-Handles/dp/B00063RWYI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1392335357&sr=8-2&keywords=lodge+dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Accip74 7,112 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I got a le creuset one a few months ago & it's by far the best pan I've used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wildling 520 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 What' are these like on a electric hob ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Accip74 7,112 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I use mine on electric & it's fine, no problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Same here. It'll cook on any form of heat. Electric, gas, even the coals when we're out camping. Look after them and you'll never need another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Why not see if you can get them from an antique shop? That's what I'm thinking about doing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Ronnie sun shies. But. I use. Dutch ovens and cast iron kettle as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greenman 221 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Always have my cast iron kettle and pan with my chainsaw kit when I'm working in the woods. Kettle was from a bric a brac shop and the pan was in a skip outside a posh cottage! Nothing beats cooking outdoors, even at home we've got a fire pit at the end of the garden, often cook the sounds joint on a spit. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
