Bajanuts---the Alzheimers/aluminum link has been pretty well put to rest---the aluminum isn't bound in the proteins because of too much aluminum in the diet, its just the nature of the the proteins to accumulate aluminum....something like that.

HEY, SANTIAGO!

4 pages!!! Congrats!


Thanks, Mexitron.
My info was from back in the 80's, when my mom threw out all her aluminum pans and my grandmother had Alzheimer's. That was the theory back then. My mom won't even buy pop in aluminum cans if she can avoid it.

I like to play it safe and only drink liquids that come in glass bottles (beer, rum, tequila........) :biggrin:


Anyway, back to cast iron...

imho, the best way to cook a pot roast is in cast iron. Stove top- heat the pan and brown the meat, throw in the veggies and broth, directly to oven for roasting.

I suppose you can brown the meat in a teflon pan and then transfer to a pyrex baking dish, but I wonder if it would taste as good?:?:

Someone should do a "roast-off"!:light:

:tumble::tumble:

And, I might add, it's an honest 4 pages (not counting this post). I never once brought up the fact that while I was collecting beach sand to scrub my cast iron skillet it dawned on me that the high tide line at our campo's launch ramp has slowly been getting higher and higher over the last 3 decades while at the same time the low tides don't expose the rocks that it used to. If I did that I bet I could get 6 or 7 pages......:cool:

Today I'm going dutch-oven-hunting at Denio's (local swap meet). Are there certain brands I should or should not get?

Santiago...Good camping choices in dutch ovens are Camp Chef, Maca, or Lodge..all are good and won't break the budget. Figure about 30-40 bucks.

Save me some biscuits.

Hmmm. Maybe I'm starting to act like DENNIS. But I have successfully ignored this thread after the first couple of posts. Today, after seeing it is now on its fourth page with 65 posts, I just had to check it out again. 'bye!

After cleaning your cast iron skillet it's a good idea to coat the inside surface with a small amount of bacon grease.

This is just un-freaking believable. I bet I get 5 pages out of this puppy. No hi-jacks, no politics, just 5 pages of comments about caring for cast iron cooking ware. Not even any recipes. It'll disappear for 4 or 5 days and then someone will start reminiscing about grandma's 12'' skillet or some such.

Does anybody know?

WHAT?

No more comments on the http://blackirondude.blogspot.com ?
So far I have spent about 5-6 hours reading his blog. Plus now I know how to build an anode/cathode cleaning kit for old cast iron
I have also found a decent source for individual serving size cast iron pots. Really cool for presentation. I bought 16 of them at a yard sale many years ago, but needed some more. Tortilla soup looks really cool in them, as well as chili.
