I have a couple cast iron pans and I like them but they’re annoying to clean. I have a small sink and the cast iron pans are just too heavy and bulky to wash easily in it. I just got a cheap non-stick on sale and it’s so nice to just toss it in the dishwasher and not have to care. I haven’t really noticed a difference in food quality either to be honest but I’m mostly cooking what my kids like (which is almost nothing) so I’m not making anything fancy these days.
I also like carbon steel pans. I have something like what’s in the picture. But my biggest gripe is they seem to use cast iron handles which keeps the pan heavy. I’d be fine with an aluminum handle that’s still oven safe so I can maneuver the pan more.
Very nice! Now that you have mentioned your uses of them it sounds so obvious to me, now. What a quick and easy gravy to make, now that I’m thinking about all of the possibilities. You can even change the flavor a little depending on the herbs or additional spices you decide to combine with it.
I like to make a variation zuppa tuscana (the olive garden soup) in mine.
1lb spicy italian sausage
1lb bacon, cut small
4-6 big potatos depending on size, cut small
1 onion, diced
1 bulb garlic, crushed
1 cup heavy cream
1 big box of chicken broth
1 bag spinach
Crushed red pepper
Brown the sausage with red pepper first then remove. Start to cook onions and garlic then add and cook bacon. Add broth and potatoes. Once potatoes are cooked add sausage back in. Finish with heavy cream and spinach. The whole bag of spinach seems crazy at first but it will shrink fast.
My family makes noodles for the holidays every year and I’ve never once considered making a drying rack instead of leaving them in a pile on the counter, thank you for changing my life!
thats so nice of you to say! I came up with the idea when I used spinach to dye it green and they turned out so watery that they merged together, so i needed a way to keep them separated.
I'm not super experienced with making pickles. Would you want to reheat the brine before adding back into the jar to better help it penetrate the pickles?
