Could your pots and pans be making you sick? If you are not cooking with cast iron cookware you might want to remember:

  • that other non-stick cookware is required to carry a warning that the fumes emitted during cooking can kill your pet bird (if your Tweety Bird isn’t safe, what about you and your family?)Family_drawing_rs
  • to look at a “non-stick pot or pan” and see how much of the coating has flaked off. Where did that stuff go? Do you suppose you might have eaten it with your food?
  • that you may need to toss your “non-stick cookware” or get Tweety, all of your family and you out of the kitchen when you cook.

Cooking in Cast Iron Cookware can actually be a vital component of a healthier lifestyle.cast_iron_nesting_pans_rs

  3. Cooking is cast iron can also boost your intake of iron since trace amounts of iron gets absorbed into the foods you cook. That is better than the stuff that flakes-off the “non-stick” cookware you may be using.

Panini Toasted Sandwich

Posted by Doyle Bailey for the Cast Iron Cookware Shop

What’s not to love about a toasty meat or fruit panini sandwich cooked over your firepit or campfire?

Rome Cast Iron Panini Press

Rome Cast Iron Panini Press

About Panini

The panini toasted sandwich just may be one of Italy’s greatest cultural and culinary export in recent years.

It is incredibly simple to make but will excite your taste buds with its flavor.

Panini is simply the Italian name for sandwich. However
it is almost always used to refer to sandwiches that are placed in a two-sided cooking press that compresses and grills the sandwich until hot and toasted.

The Rome panini maker differs from an  American style sandwich cooker or pie iron  A Panini Press is not designed to crimp the bread of the sandwich. The goal is to uniformly compress the sandwich as it toasts without the ingredients or bread being trimmed by the edge of the cooker. This results of cooking in a Panini Press is a sandwich layered with a surprising variety of flavor and a layered composition.
Panini Ideas (From Rome Industries)To Get You Started:
• Ricotta, Roasted Peppers
• Basil, Mozzarella, Tomato, Balsamic Vinegar
• Eggplant Caponata, Roasted Red Peppers, Goat Cheese
• Prosciutto, Goat Cheese, Arugula
• Pesto Mayonnaise, Chicken, Red Pepper
• Ham, Mushrooms, Gruyere
• Tomato, Mozzarella, Coppa Salami
• Ham, Gruyere, Tomato
• Mozzarella, Tomato, Pancetta

Cast Iron Cookware With a Spinach Salad Popeye Would Love

January 29th, 2010  Tagged , ,

Every good cook should have a spinach salad in their repertoire and Chef Paul Prudhomme’s is one Popeye would love and so will you. Popeye_olive_spinach_rsThe Chef points out that along with the traditional elements in the salad, the tasso and cane vinegar give it a decided Louisiana flavor.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil (where would Popeye be without Olive Oil?)

9 ounces tasso, or any premium-quality cooked ham, cut into 1/4- inch cubes

1 medium-size onion, cut into julienne strips

1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into julienne strips

1 small yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into julienne strips

1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup dried currants

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup cane vinegar or any sweet vinegar

1 grapefruit, peeled and sectioned

Two 10-ounce packages fresh spinach

PREPARATION:

  1. Preheat a heavy 10-inch skillet
    Lodge 10 1/4 Inch Skillet

    Lodge 10 1/4 Inch Skillet

    over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the olive oil, tilting the pan so the oil spreads over the entire bottom, then add the tasso, spreading it evenly. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom occasionally, until the tasso is lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. During this time notice that the seasonings from the tasso mingle with the oil.

  2. Add the onion, stir well and scrape up any brown bits that may stick to the bottom of the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is brown around the edges (as its sugar caramelizes), it’ll lose its acid taste as well), about 4 to 5 minutes, then stir in the bell peppers, garlic, and citrus juices and cook, stirring occasionally, until the colors of the peppers become very bright, almost glowing, then darken as they are lightly browned from the heat, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  3. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, currants, raisins, and grapefruit. Cover, remove from the heat, and let cool to room temperature, during which time the currants and raisins will plump and absorb the other flavors.
  4. Remove (when the dressing is cool) the stems and any bruised leaves from the spinach and wash well. Shake or spin the spinach dry, place it in a large serving bowl, and pour the dressing over it. Toss lightly to coat all the spinach leaves and distribute the ingredients evenly. Serve at once.
