Comments on: Cast Iron Cookware http://www.selfsufficientlife.net/2008/10/08/cast-iron-cookware/ preparing for off-grid living Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:24:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Red Icculus http://www.selfsufficientlife.net/2008/10/08/cast-iron-cookware/comment-page-1/#comment-415 Red Icculus Mon, 27 Oct 2008 14:22:17 +0000 http://www.selfsufficientlife.net/2008/10/08/cast-iron-cookware/#comment-415 I couldn't function without my cast iron stock pot. To season it, the first thing we did was cook a couple pounds of bacon and just wipe it out with a paper towel. It caused some smoking at first when baking at high temps, but after a couple weeks of use, it became the pride and joy of my kitchen. Great post! I couldn’t function without my cast iron stock pot.

Like I said, try to get some old used cast iron pans. They are better than new ones and can be restored. Griswald brand pans seems to be the choice. You can find a lot of them on e-bay. A link from your blog would be much appreciated! I'll even return the favor if I like your blog, will head over to check it out right now ;) Thanks David!

Like you, I preferred (maybe still do) non-stick because it needs so little oil. Then I start finding bits of the non-stick in cooked food, so that gets me really worried. I think teflon is safe, but not to eat for sure. So now I am buying (progressively) good quality stainless steel cookware with aluminium cores. I looked at some cast-iron but they are really expensive here in Bangkok and my wife's eyebrows go sky-high when she sees the price tag. Still, there is this lovely Dutch oven that I will maybe treat myself to someday. Would you mind if I placed a link to your blog in my blogroll?
