Stick To A One-Pan Plan

January 31st, 2013

Posted by Doyle Bailey for The Cast Iron Cookware Shop

Stick to a “One -Pan Plan” for a quick- fix meal at your campsite or to conjure up a magical meal in your kitchen. A sizzling hot cast iron skillet (there is a size just right for you and your family) is the “coolest” hot way to stir fry crispy chicken thighs, saute shrimp, steak and more. It works like a wok to sear food quickly. Use veggies cut into even pieces, Brussels sprouts and anything from cabbage to cauliflower. Stir in mint and serve over rice for a quick-fix supper.

 

When you stick to a one-pan plan for a quick and savory meal, and use your cast iron skillet, you will stick to a plan without your food sticking to your pan. Food should “stick to your ribs” not your skillet. Cast iron cookware, when properly seasoned, is the really non-stick cookware. Visit The Cast Iron Cookware Shop website www.castironcookwareshop.com to see all you need to know about seasoning your cast iron cookware, cleaning and using your cookware. Contact us if you need information about restoring or cleaning your hand-me-down skillet that belonged to your mother or grandmother. You may have even picked one up in a garage sale or a flea market. We love to talk about cast iron cookware.

A Camp Dutch Oven Has Feet to Stand On and a Halo to Hang by Over Your Campfire

December 24th, 2012

Posted by Doyle Bailey for Cast Iron Cookware Shop

From bottom to top, a cast iron camping dutch oven is made to be  useful and cook delicious camp mealsAt the bottom, it has feet so it will stand above a bed of coals on your campfire and evenly distribute heat from below to your pot.  At the top, it is rimmed to hold hot coals to evenly distribute heat from above. This is what makes  the “oven” in dutch oven. Your cooking pot also has a bail, (OK, so it is not a “halo”), to make it easy to lift off your grill or campfire or to hang it from a tripod or a wire.

Do not leave home for your camping trip without your camping dutch oven.

Iron Out (Cast Iron, That Is) All The Difficulties In Camp Cooking

September 21st, 2012

Posted by Doyle Bailey for The Cast Iron Cookware Shop

Whether you kit up, out fit or fit out when it comes to camping,  give special attention to your camping cookware.  It spoils the fun to use cookware that sticks and is a mess to clean-up. After all, your getaway is to get away from bother. Nothing cooks like cast iron cookware when you camp. A camping dutch oven and a cast iron fry pan are just about all the gear you need. Check your cooking gear before you go and if it does not include cast iron camping gear, do not waste another moment. Order yours now. Click on the images below to get your fry pan or camping dutch oven.  A cast iron griddle is cool, well it really hot, for grilling burgers, sausages and frying bacon.

Food that Makes You Uncomfortable or Comfort Food?

July 19th, 2012

Posted by Doyle Bailey for Cast Iron Cookware Shop

Ray Stevens had a song that made me laugh. The song was “Fat”. He talked about eating nothing but things green for days, losing some weight and being so happy about it he celebrated by eating a “french-fried Shetland pony”.  I would say that this qualifies as food that would make you uncomfortable rather than “comfort food”.

Can you remember old-fashioned comfort food–things that remind you of your Mother’s kitchen or maybe even your Grandmother’s? Chances are it was cooked in cast iron cookware. Comfort food is a natural for times of stress. Unfortunately, the food that is so comforting to our souls tends to be food that is not so great for the body. Growing up, we ate things that had a lot of fat. Our philosophy was “things taste better with hog fat”.

There is good news. You can still have your comfort food–and eat it too without putting your health at risk and feeling bad about what you are eating. Here are some suggestions:

1. Learn to modify your favorite recipes for better health and the avoidance of heart disease, certain types of cancer, stroke and Type 2 diabetes. Here is an example.

Macaroni and cheese.  For many it is a great comfort food. Start by adding no salt to the pasta water, and using low fat milk and no-fat cheese.

Add vegetables to increase flavor and nutrition. Try layering mushrooms or carrots between pasta sheets.

Meatloaf  Try quinoa or millet instead of breadcrumbs

Meatballs Turkey (but not ground turkey that is not all breast meat or it may be as high in fat as some higher-fat ground beef).

There are many things you can do. Read food labels. See what the ingredients are and make wise choices.

Cast Iron Cookware Makes It Easier To Go Green In Your Kitchen

Tips for Greener Living

“Green Home Checklist: Room-by-Room Steps We Can Take, Starting Right Now,” by a writer named Crissy Trask. Trask offers useful advice on how to green up the kitchen. Trask describes the kitchen as “a hot-spot for waste“. A typical household discards an estimated 474 pounds of food waste each year.

University of Arizona research suggests:

  • Buying more fresh food than we can eat before the expiration date is up and allowing leftovers to expire in the fridge are culprits.
  • Solutions? Make menus, avoid impulse buying and compost your food scraps.

Other good advice for the kitchen:

  • Replace disposables such as paper napkins and plastic wrap with cloth napkins and glass food-storage containers

 

  • Get rid of Teflon-coated cookware, which can give off toxins when overheated or damaged, and replace with cast iron(“properly seasoned cast iron…is naturally nonstick”).

    Cast Iron Skillets, Green, Healthy, Non-Stick When Seasoned Properly

 

  • Buy high-quality reusable [shopping] bags that will give years of use instead of plastic shopping bags.
