My FIL uses it. He does a lot of "cowboy cooking"...beans, camp bread, stews, etc. Has a fire ring in the back yard.
He wouldn't use anything else.

Not yet (its Al btw) but its frame allows the cooking surface to lay flat but still allows you to flip the waffle. I don't think Papa had used it in years since his wife passed but my stepdad and I will get around to it sooner or later...if it was at my house I would have by now. |

I picked up a piece a couple of years back that I thought was a different cornbread pan. Someone had sand blasted (or bead blasted?) the majority of the pan, and it had some surface rust due to a lack of oil after the idiot blasted it!
It has 7 cooking "cups" in a circular pattern with one in the middle of the six. Only, the "cups" were round on the bottom. And, the name indented into the top near the handle was a strange word, that starts with an "A E" joined into a single letter. AEbleskiver. I thought the name was the manufacturer, but it was the name of the item cooked in the pan. I did some internet searches, and found the name readily. It was for a Danish fruit tort (most often time apple - the name interpreted to "apple slices"). The idea was that the batter was put in the hot cup, it was allowed to set for a little bit for the bottom half to crust over, then a fork is used to rotate the batter ninety degrees, allowing uncooked batter to spill oven into the cup area, giving a tort that was now crusted over on 3/4 of it's surface. Filling was then added in the middle, and the tort was rotated the final 90 degrees, letting the remaining batter spill into the cup, and giving you a round tort with fruit in the middle, a little bit smaller than a baseball. There were many recipes available on the web. I cooked cornbread in it a couple of times, but never did the rotation thing, as it was just too much trouble at the time. I still have it tucked away, and will probably give it a try for it's true intended use one day when I have nothing else to do. In the meantime, I cook cornbread in it several times a year, just to get the surface back to a slickness that will actually allow a rotation attempt. This is pretty much the type I have: http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pub...RhTTGrP4QuxGrg It appeared to be an older design than this, but I have no idea of the actual age.

I actually plan on getting mine back in the next several months. Mom's already told all us kids that the ones who gave her stuff will be the ones to get them back when she passes. However, I have one sister who raided mom and dad's house when we moved them out after dad's stroke. And I have no doubt she would do it again if given the chance. So, I'll be laying claim to the waffle pan soon.

I love my cast iron. But, it doesn't cook well on an electric range.

The radiant eyes are still not as good from a heat control point as gas would be, but alas, we don't have gas available where we live (except propane). I'm not a big proponent of cooking with LP. Too finicky in colder weather, and doesn't put out as much BTUs as natural gas. Maybe one day.....

I use salt to clean my pans. just pour some salt in the pan to use as an abrasive and rub it around with a dry cloth. don't even have to rinse it out. Then I just put some oil in it and throw it under the stove.

![]() Heck, check around yard sales and flea markets. As long as it's not made in China, but is stamped with a manufacture (especially Lodge, of course), they should be safe to use, and there are deals to be had! I purchased three pans (1 wedge cornbread, 1 stick cornbread and an 8 inch frying pan) from a local flea market (that likes to think they are an antique store!) for a total of $20 last year. Presents for my (then) new DIL. I've picked up several of them free from individuals that have no idea how to use them, and just set them aside as "too hard to use". It's amazing where, and how cheap these can be had used!

I have a Lodge cast iron dutch oven. Still new and inexperienced with it.
It does make an amazing loaf of bread. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html

Tell me about it. I reseasond it last night how lodge says to do on their website.
There really is no hope for him though. He brought a lot of kitchen stuff and all of th pans he brought used to be teflon coated, but now are two tone. Silver bottoms with black sides. |

Everybody went to bed a bit early, except me so I just finished re-seasoning one of my inherited pans. Came out well, I still have a little one that needs some serious scraping but I couldn't fine any of my metal putty knife/scrappers and steel wool was not getting the job done. Guess I'll work on it this weekend.
