Nzoner's Game Room>Cast Iron Skillets. You dig them?
Fritz88 12:54 PM 11-08-2011


What's the best way to cook a burger at home, on a gas stove?

I heard that Cast Iron Skillets are the way to go.

Would you agree? Have you tried burgers on them?

They are awesome when your (ex)wife doesn't insist on filling them with soapy water and leaving them to soak overnight...

:-)Or ex-hubby's leaving them in the oven when the oven cleaning cycle is on. Wonder which is worse, soapy-soaks or oven-cleaning when already cleaned?

Calling Fire Me Boy! (at least I think it's FMB who has a serious cast iron obsession and is something of an expert).

Any brand in particular? Any tips on making burgers on them?

Do I go for the cast iron griddles or just regular ones?

Not really. Le Creuset are the top of the line, but I've never seen or heard anyone who owns 'em say they were worth the extra money you spend. Most of my cast iron is Lodge.

Personally, I'd skip the griddle and go with a 10- or 12-inch skillet. Everything tastes better in cast iron, and you'll limit what you can do with just a griddle.

I have a Le Crueset set that my wife won in a baking contest. It's pretty nice, but nowhere near worth the money they ask for them.

I use my Cabellas Dutch Oven more than I use any of her stuff and it works great. Otherwise I just use my cheapie Lodge skillet and have never had a complaint.

Spending a bunch of money on Cast Iron cookware is dumb - it's strength is in its simplicity. That's like spending $100 on a flathead screwdriver because it has ivory inlays in the handle or something.

I was poor when I said this.

I'm less poor now.

I want this:

Sure, it's a $200 skillet but it will outlast my entire family line, I'm betting. Hand ground and polished; looks amazing.

Anyone ever hear anything on these Smithey Ironworks skillets?

Sounds good. Do I get preseasoned or season it myself?

Can't wait to get my hands on one.
