Turkey recipe

I just recently burn off my cast irons because too carbon build up. A little sticky at first as always.

Believe it or not people do throw perfectly good cast iron pans because of carbon build up. Just wish Lodge would make a square lid.

You bet your azz it's non stick but you need a table spoon ofoil when it first hits the hot pan. That pan has 25 years of cooking and has never been in the sink of had any kind of soap on it. The stove is a Frigidaire from 1975 and everything still works and is used everyday. They don't make them like that anymore. View attachment 72535

Have to believe you. BUT, it looks like there is very minimal "seasoning" on it. Could be the picture lighting?? I can see the metallic pores where the pan turns up vertically. Can't touch cast iron for flavor.

Very easy to remove the seasoning. Little water in the pan, little heat then rub a tomato (acid) over the cooking surface. Of course reseason the ol' girl. Good way to refresh your pan. I never worry about it. Max heat and smoke away.

My latest cooking adventure is carbon steel pan. I have a De Buyer mineral B 12" pan. Seasoned, stripped and reseasoned a couple times to get it where i want it. Whole different experience than cast iron. Does an awesome job of browning meat.
