Pinto Beans In A Cast Iron Dutch Oven Make A Great Meal

Posted by Doyle Bailey for Cast Iron Cookware Shop

Pinto Beans

Beans of all varieties are almost always on the menu at our house. Cook your Pinto Beans slowly in a cast iron dutch oven. Adding onion and garlic is sure to bring out the rich and hearty flavor of the beans. Use them as a side dish, or you can  eat them with cornbread or over rice  as your main dish. When topped  with some chopped onions and cilantro,  you’ve got yourself a delicious and easy meal.

If you want to bring out the full flavor of your Pintos, use a cast iron dutch oven and “taste the food and not the cookware”.

Cast Iron Cookware Rocks

Posted by Doyle Bailey for Cast Iron Cookware Shop

Why does cast iron cookware rock?

1. For one reason, rocks are used in the process of manufacturing cast iron cookware. Barbara and I recently toured the Lodge Foundry in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. The cookware is conveyed on a belt with rocks that knock off the rough edges. The rocks never wear out and neither does their cookware.

2. Castiron Cookware rocks and  is experiencing growth in both the high and low end of the market, according to The NPD Group/ Retail Tracking Service. (Jan 25, 2009)

“In the total cookware category, cast iron was up by a 9.8 dollar percent change in 2008 over 2007 for the year January through December. Dollar volume sales for cast iron cookware in 2007 were just shy of $26 million, jumping to $28.5 million in 2008″ according to The NPD Group.

3. Cast iron cookware rocks because of:

• consistent heat conduction and retention
• low maintenance and cost
• easy clean-up, the truly non-stick cookware
• lasting for generations
• its capability to go from stove top to table top. We use our cast iron cookware on a glass top range and have done so for years without a problem of scratching.
  
• its wonderful enameled colors that brighten kitchen and dining room

Braise It In a Way They Will Praise It in Cast Iron Cookware

Posted By Doyle Bailey for Cast Iron Cookware Shop

Braise a chicken in cast iron cookware in a way your family will praise it. A garlic-braised chicken with olives and mushrooms is the perfect dish for when it is no longer winter but spring has not quite arrived. Serve it over rustic grains like farro and it will make a comforting dinner.

Braised Chicken with Olives

Braised Chicken with Olives

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 whole chicken legs, skinned and cut into thighs and drumsticks (about 2 1/2 pounds)
• 1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 3 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
• 1 cup low-sodium canned chicken broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 4 sprigs thyme
• 1/3 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup pitted and roughly chopped large green olives, such as Cerignola (about 6)
• 3/4 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

Preparation:

Lodge 12 Inch Skillet

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place chicken pieces in skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Saute until chicken is nicely crisped and browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a large plate, and set aside.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low; to the same skillet, add onion, carrots, garlic, and ginger. Saute, stirring frequently, until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, the water, and wine; bring to a boil, and deglaze pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Return chicken to skillet, and add thyme. Bring liquid back to a boil; cover, and transfer to the oven. Braise 45 minutes.

3. Remove skillet from oven, and stir in raisins, olives, and chickpeas. Return to oven; continue braising, uncovered, 20 minutes more. Remove from oven, and discard thyme. Serve hot.

What The Cast Iron Pot Said to the Cast Iron Kettle

The Cast Iron Pot said to the Cast Iron Kettle:

“Ever since you whistled at me I have been captivated by your charms. I supposed I was ‘pre-seasoned‘ to succumb to you. However, our romance at times is quite a ‘fine kettle of fish‘. You tend to reach a boiling point with me quite easily and sometimes you are a little over the top with your family pedigree of enameled cast iron cookware relatives.

Admittedly they have an aesthetic appeal but at the heart of the matter, you and I, and even they, are made of the same stuff ‘cast iron‘. We all come from good stock. Our romance will endure and we will share many happy times together in the kitchen long after other cookware  has lost its ‘non-stick’ quality and has been discarded. We will ‘stick together‘ but the food will not  stick to us.”

Cast Iron Cookware Shop Helps You To Save Dollars And Make Scents

With so many gadgets on the market, you can throw away your money. It is tempting to buy then all. After all don’t you need them for the convenience they promise? When the intrigue wears off, you’re left with a lot of clutter in and around your home.

Barbara Flanagan, author of “Flanagan’s Smart Home: The 98 Essentials for Starting Out, Starting Over, Scaling Back“, shares her top money saving picks to keep you clutter free:

The one that really applies to our topic for this post is the following:

Speaking of Cast iron cookware (pan and Dutch oven)
Flanagan says it is the cheapest, most indestructible stuff around.  Plus, she adds, it makes incomparably good food. By using the cast iron cookware, Flanagan says there is no need to buy costly tri-ply, and enameled pots and pans. It will also eliminate the need to buy non-stick cookware and a slew of siliconed, non-stick accessories. Flanagan says it is so simple to use, you’ll want to cook dinners from scratch instead of buying costly processed, frozen, take-out, or restaurant meals.

Can’t you smell them now? I speak of the wonderful “scents”, cooking aromas of your favorite family dishes coming from your kitchen. Cooking in a healthy manner and saving money at the same time, well that just makes sense.

Cast Iron Cookwareshop on Giving Yourself the Green Light to Go Green

Reader’s Digest is always so interesting, funny, informative and practical. The August 2009 issue is exceptional.

On the environment, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu is quoted from a discussion of California Researchers at a recent conference on global warming. Chu suggests that the solution to global warming could be as simple as painting every roof and road white. It could, he says, be the equivalent of taking every car in every country off the road for 11 years.

Cast Iron Cookware also has a role to play in helping you to go green in your cooking.

1. Replace your chemically treated pans with the true, environmentally friendly cast iron cookware. You may make a lab technician angry but who needs that potentially dangerous chemical substance flaking off in their food?

2. Join a Carrotmob Carrot mob, according to Time is a self-described “network of consumers who buy products in order to reward businesses who are making socially responsible decisions.” Their members make it a point to show up to buy products at a store that has promised to make specific environmental changes with the deluge of profits. Time reports Carrotmobs in 11 U.S. cities. Organized consumer purchasing can change business. Reward your local green market, organic food businesses and business enterprises who make environmentally friendly decisions. Carrots and other veggies are wonderful when they are cooked in a cast iron dutch oven.

GO ON. GIVE YOURSELF THE GREEN LIGHT TO GO GREEN AND LET CAST IRON COOKWARE HELP YOU.
