the enameled coating is easy enough to care for there's really no need to have to resurface.I may be old school but I like to be able to sand and refurb my cast iron if and when needed
Yeah - I'm exclusively SS, carbon steel and cast iron at this point.i will also say this - one of the goals of acquiring the 2 new skillets was to finally be able to rid myself of non-stick (read: non cast iron) cookware. last step is to replace our stock pots w/ stainless steel ones.
Exactly, because the current group of old bastards running this shit show seem to doing such a great job of solving climate issues. . .
Neither am I, I just find it humorous that you’re essentially blaming the next generation for climate change? No?not once growing up during all the nuclear winter/the sky is falling bullshit of the seventies....the cold war nonsense of the 80's...did it dawn on me to piss and moan to my parents and blame their generation or the previous one....
because dogs do not talk back....or require college...I do not have any of these baby goat kid things you're referring to, nor do I want any.
I pretty much decided on this point when I was about 12.
in addition to new stock pots, i *may* get one more dutch oven. the oval is nice for some things, but sometimes i wish i had a round.Yeah - I'm exclusively SS, carbon steel and cast iron at this point.
And how do you know this ?This is why I find syadasti's ramblings quite amusing... he's got *2* kids now.
We still have a few non-stick pans, but I mostly use SS and on occasion, (steaks, bacon) cast iron. Still adapting to using SS, as the pans get waaaay hotter than our old pans. Still hit and miss on scrambled eggs sticking to the SS pan....Yeah - I'm exclusively SS, carbon steel and cast iron at this point.
no.Neither am I, I just find it humorous that you’re essentially blaming the next generation for climate change? No?
Well you got me there. I guess I still have a slight glimmer of hope for the future. Hopefully I can raise my off spring to create a better world than we have now.no.
given humanities track record....at what point would you think it would be a good idea to bring kids inro the world and expect it to be a better place...
either too hot and/or not enough butter/oil. i find with cooking eggs on cast iron i have to back the heat off a good amount compared to other cookware. on my non-stick skillets i was cooking eggs medium-low (3-4 out of 10) but with cast iron its down at low (1-2 out of 10). fwiw i have a glass top electric stove.Still hit and miss on scrambled eggs sticking to the SS pan
Are you sure the cooking side is enamel? I have one of those skillets and a smattering or regular LC stuff. If that skillet is enamel, it is the toughest enamel I’ve ever seen! All my other LC enamel shows some degree of wear. The skillet looks brand new still (on the inside) after 5+ years…the enameled coating is easy enough to care for there's really no need to have to resurface.
that being said, i am absolutely still keeping my regular (seasoned) skillets. for certain things i still prefer them over the enamel coated.
This is one thing that I probably could make use of - a nice enameled dutch oven for shit like beef Bourguignon, coq au vin, and miner's steak. Currently I just use one of my *heavy* SS stock pots, which works fine, I guess.in addition to new stock pots, i *may* get one more dutch oven. the oval is nice for some things, but sometimes i wish i had a round.
Yeah - I use the cast iron exclusively for eggs.<snip> Still hit and miss on scrambled eggs sticking to the SS pan....
Yeah, I found out pretty quickly that I had to lower the heat using the SS pan. Oddly, eggs seem to stick less when the heat is higher. Also, the more I stir, the more it sticks. If I leave them alone as if cooking an omelette, sticking is less of a problem.either too hot and/or not enough butter/oil. i find with cooking eggs on cast iron i have to back the heat off a good amount compared to other cookware. on my non-stick skillets i was cooking eggs medium-low (3-4 out of 10) but with cast iron its down at low (1-2 out of 10). fwiw i have a glass top electric stove.
100% the cook surface is enamel. the two I got are both the signature skillets:Are you sure the cooking side is enamel? I have one of those skillets and a smattering or regular LC stuff.

As far as performance and ease of use, I would say the LC is slightly easier to take care of than regular cast iron and a lot easier than the de Buyer.
You need to put an induction stove high on your list of shit to get.<snip> fwiw i have a glass top electric stove.
i am sure you will...Well you got me there. I guess I still have a slight glimmer of hope for the future. Hopefully I can raise my off spring to create a better world than we have now.
you think i haven't looked? with the real estate market being what it is, we may be staying in our house longer term than planned, and a kitchen remodel would be the next big project.You need to put an induction stove high on your list of shit to get.
Get the induction stove you want NOW then.you think i haven't looked? with the real estate market being what it is, we may be staying in our house longer term than planned, and a kitchen remodel would be the next big project.
titanium skewer...open flame...Can we tie cookware and the dim future of humanity back into a single cohesive thread? Maybe a "what's the best pan to properly sear the flesh of my enemies" discussion?
well, to get what I want it's gonna require a remodel, sooooooooo..........Get the induction stove you want NOW then.
Do you have some weird non-standard range/cooktop size now? Seriously... you're gonna be irritated once you get it that you didn't get it earlier.well, to get what I want it's gonna require a remodel, sooooooooo..........
the most frustrating phrase you will hear on any home remodel show...well, to get what I want it's gonna require a remodel, sooooooooo..........
we hear it even with obstructions.the most frustrating phrase you will hear on any home remodel show...
"open concept"
because i want to hear the kids screaming bloody murder without obstruction...
no. i want a double wall oven. which mandates a separate cooktop.Do you have some weird non-standard range/cooktop size now? Seriously... you're gonna be irritated once you get it that you didn't get it earlier.
no. i want a double wall oven. which mandates a separate cooktop.
dunkin donuts....this is not...
I'll be a little jelly when you get your double wall oven. We settled for an induction range with built-in double oven 'cause FUCK home remodels.no. i want a double wall oven. which mandates a separate cooktop.
