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.

What travels well, cooks evenly, cleans up easily and is just about the perfect cookware for campfire and outdoor cooking?snoopy-camping_roasting_marshmellow_smaller2The answer: cast iron cookware. All you need is a campfire with a few hot coals and anyone can cook in the great outdoors or at your backyard fire pit. You do not have a be a rocket scientist or a professional chef.

WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED:

Really, all you need is two pieces.

  1. A Dutch Oven (also called camp ovens)

2. A skillet with a lid. Many outdoor     cooks consider other pieces necessary but these two are adequate to get you started.

SOME BUYING TIPS:

  • If you shop for a dutch oven, be sure to look for one that comes with a reversible lid that functions both as a lid and when turned over is a griddle. The griddle side has a concave shape which keeps your pancakes, bacon and eggs, bacon, etc. from falling off or dripping into your coals.
  • Skillets, like a  Cast Iron combination deep skillet and shallow skillet/griddle is a useful addition to your castiron cook ware. The shallow skillet serves as lid, skillet and griddle. This multi-use cooker is a dutch oven, saute pan and fryer, all in one.  If you want just one cast iron cookware piece for your camping and outdoor cooking, this might just be what you are looking for.

Cast Iron Dutch Oven: the Pot that Won the West

Some say the cast iron dutch

oven goes back hundreds of years. Others maintain the dutch oven originated with the Chinese 2,500 years ago. A great source for further investigation is “Dutch Ovens Chronicled, Their Use in the United States” by John G. Ragsdale, published by the University of Arkansas Press.

In 1704 Abraham Darby traveled from England to Holland to inspect the Dutch casing process which used brass vessels cast in sand molds. When he returned to England, Darby experimented with this process and eventually patented a casting process using a superior quality of molding sand as well as the process of baking the mold to improve casting smoothness. Soon Darby was casting and shipping pots to the new colonies as well as other parts of the world. Ragsdale suggests that the name “Dutch Oven” may have originated from the original Dutch process for the casting of these metal pots. Others believe that the name may have come from Dutch settlers in Pennsylvania who used similar cast iron pots or kettles.

Cast Iron Dutch Ovens can have:

  • a  flat bottom having three legs to hold the oven above a bed of coals for a heat source from below the dutch oven
  • flat sides and a flat, flanged lid for holding coals for a heat source from above the dutch oven therefore giving it an “oven” effect
  • a steel bail handle attached to the “ears” on each side of the dutch oven near the top to enable carrying

This type of oven is a cast iron camping dutch oven.

Cast Iron Dutch Ovens also come Enameled

in beautiful colors that are so attractive that you can  serve your guests at the table from your dutch oven. Your food will stay warm because cast iron is great for its heat retention.

When the West was opened and the United States was expanding and people were on the move, they were forced to leave their large, heavy cook stoves behind.  People learned to cook complete meals from stews to soups, bread to biscuits, in their Dutch Ovens.  This pioneering spirit is not a lost art. Wonderful and tasty meals are still being prepared today in cast iron cookware.The cast iron dutch oven was the “Queen of the Fleet” when the Prairie Schooners rolled westward.covered_wagon_rs It still reigns.

Cast Iron Cookware Will Warm Your Food and Your Family

Where is the center of warmth in your home?Family_drawing_rs In our home it would have to be the kitchen. My wife and I both enjoy cooking and I do not even mind the clean-up afterward. There is even a special stool where the younger grandchildren stand to help their “Nona” cook.There are rocking chairs in our kitchen for friends to rock and chat with us. There is a lot of warmth and it does not all come from the oven or cook top.

We have a large collection of cast iron cookware and I suppose these grandchildren will teach their children to cook using the same dutch ovens, roasters, skillets, cornbread pans and casseroles.

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
• Ham, Emmental Cheese, Basil
• Tuna, Olives, Anchovies
• Roasted Eggplant, Goat Cheese, Basil

• Gorgonzola, Red Wine Vinegar, Olive Oil, Mixed Greens
